Well this is gonna suck.....IRMA

Not looking forward to this.

 

I know this is easy to say from way over here, but if you can, pack your family and leave during this event. That does not look good.

 

Will you be sheltering in place or evacuating?
Choices that suck...

 

I live on the beach, on a barrier island, so I will not be staying. Evacuation will be mandatory. I am waiting for my employer, the Air Force, to give us orders to evacuate. They reimburse us once they give us orders.

 

Thank you for your service and we will be keeping you and all those in the storms path in our thoughts and prayers.
Let us know how you are doing and post pictures of the evac and storm, if possible.

 

They should start naming hurricanes after notable climate change deniers.....

 

Go hug a tree

 

I went thru Harvey last week. Gtfo of there asap.

 

Yeah that does not look too good. Thanks for your service. Stay safe.

 

thats gonna suck.

 

be safe! hope they give those orders quick and you are already ready!

 

You seem nice. Glad you're okay.

 

Thanks. I don't like liberals very much

 

M is coming up soon. Hurricane Matluth has a nice ring to it.

 

no political talk gentlemen.....

 

we are talking science.

 

Theres a reason why 500 year storms and 1000 year storms are happening every few years now. Slightly warmer waters create big ass hurricanes.

 

When the poles switch I'm sure...so long after we are dead

 

I guess being on a forum of a brand that makes a Prius is not a place for me. lol sometimes I forget how most toyota people are

 

Yeah... took awhile to convince the non-believers that the universe didn't revolve around the earth. Shit, there are still people who believe the world is flat...

 

it's not!!!???!?!

 

Sweet! i can't wait until it's freezing every where!

 

which reminds me of

 

God controls the weather...Period

 

then I guess he hates Florida.

 

That is your 666th comment.

 

Can we predict geomagnetic reversals?
The simple fact that we are “overdue” for a full reversal and the fact that the Earth’s field is currently decreasing at a rate of 5% per century, has led to suggestions that the field may reverse within the next 2,000 years. But pinning down an exact date – at least for now – will be difficult.


Magnetic reversal. NASA.
The Earth’s magnetic field is generated within the liquid core of our planet, by the slow churning of molten iron. Like the atmosphere and oceans, the way in which it moves is governed by the laws of physics. We should therefore be able to predict the “weather of the core” by tracking this movement, just like we can predict real weather by looking at the atmosphere and ocean. A reversal can then be likened to a particular type of storm in the core, where the dynamics – and magnetic field – go haywire (at least for a short while), before settling down again.

The difficulties of predicting the weather beyond a few days are widely known, despite us living within and directly observing the atmosphere. Yet predicting the Earth’s core is a far more difficult prospect, principally because it is buried beneath 3,000km of rock such that our observations are scant and indirect. However, we are not completely blind: we know the major composition of the material inside the core and that it is liquid. A global network of ground-based observatories and orbiting satellites also measure how the magnetic field is changing, which gives us insight into how the liquid core is moving.

The recent discovery of a jet-stream within the core highlights our evolving ingenuity and increasing ability to measure and infer the dynamics of the core. Coupled with numerical simulations and laboratory experiments to study the fluid dynamics of the planet’s interior, our understanding is developing at a rapid rate. The prospect of being able to forecast the Earth’s core is perhaps not too far out of reach.

• The magnetic field is reducing at 5% per century. This causes the earth to warm due to less shielding from the sun. You don't hear any of this from Al Gore

 

Yeah, smart, educated, and responsible!
In contrast with pea brained, ignorant, and self centered?

Edit: To be understood in context, this is obviously about the difference between "Toyota people" and "others". Since @Tundra_mike89 drives a Toyota, this is clearly not directed at him or any other forum member.
