RUNDOWN:
Hurricane Florence is now a strong Category 4 hurricane that is expected to continue strengthening possibly up to a low Category 5 within the next 24 hours. It is expected to landfall at Category 4 intensity. The absense of wind shear and abundance of hot water all along the US east coast makes the conditions incredibly favorable for this event to occur.
North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia have issued states of emergency.
North and South Carolina are now issuing evacuation orders for coastal counties.
right in the path of the storm here guys, what should I do to prepare?
all I can think of is taking a crap on my roof so it blows all over the neighborhood when the hurricane hits
heck maybe it will travel across the whole state if this thing is as powerful as you guys say its going to be!
Dylan Watson
Storm surge could be ~15 feet there.
Are you ready for that?

HERE'S THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE HURRICANE PLANNING GUIDE YOU'LL EVER FIND:
You need water, shitloads of it. 10 cases (each containing 6, 1 gallon jugs) and three cases of 32 small bottles. You need 5 gallon buckets, as many as you can find. You need soap. You need shampoo. You need two coolers. You need propane and a propane stove. You need canned food with high caloric content. Good chili, hearty vegetable beef, etc. Ramen is worthless. You need breakfast foods like eggs and bacon and sausage. You need tortilla wraps and pita bread. The perishables will be used before they go bad, but you should be able to source more pretty fast. Make friends with your local corner store owner. He’ll keep shit to the side for you. Breakfast is important as fuck when everything is set to manual, so eggs are best here. Load up on ice. Make more with gennys during daylight hours.
You need coffee more than you realize and a french press if you can find one. You need a metric fuck ton of tea lights. You need lighters. You need an LED keychain flashlight and a standard maglight. You need batteries. You need first aid kits, plural, you need heavy bandages, gauze, peroxide and rubbing alcohol. Get more bandaids. You need more towels than you know what to do with. You need borax and a big fucking jug of laundry detergent. You need a solid hiking backpack with a waist clip. You need more socks. You still need more socks. You need a quality knife. You need a quality machete. You could use a decent rifle but you’d do better with a remmy 870. You need all the fucking bugspray from everywhere, all the time.
Four generators is great and all, but people with generators literally glow to people without. On the island, for the first two weeks, having a generator made you a target. Keep that in mind.
>Is a hurricane a threat to the Reactor Core? No, of course not. The only issue would be with flooding, etc. like at Fukushima, but the plant has days of time to prepare and shut it down, while in Fukushima they had none. On top of neglecting basic safety measures.
Noah Hernandez
Louisiana checking in. We good just want to wish y'all a happy hurricane party. And we gonna send the Cajun Navy whether y'all want us or not.
Adrian Mitchell
The plant's not going to be critical by the time that happens.

Brayden Sanchez
what would happen if you nuked a hurricane?
Jaxson Moore
No, it was a real incident from a while back where cops killed a groundhog that was blocking traffic, probably needlessly.
Also checked. May Cirno keep your freezer safe and cold.
Hurricanes release energy the magnitude of 10 Megaton bombs every 30 minutes. Nuking a Hurricane would only make it stronger

>water City water still runs. Have an r/o unit and water purifying tablets and you won't run out of water >tortilla wraps >machete Go back to Mexico >Having a generator makes you a target gay
Rest is decent advice for a first timer, but anyone who has any brains already has all of these things 24/7 365.
Mason Moore
you would feed it more heat and it would get stronger and be radioactive.
Caleb Phillips
Sheeeeeeeeeit gon get me some dat loot sheit ya feel me?
Lol neighbor boarded up and left today I'm not leaving. Charleston SC. Not even going to hit us. I'll post pics and shit
Aiden Roberts
>ONSLOW COUNTY >& the digits That's a 5 on the yikes scale from me
David Sanders
They always break records when they hit you cucks It's because your states are weak and not physically capable of handling it While we are definitely jealous of your mountians they definitely don't do you any favors in a hurricane
Parker Jones
>nuclear reactor >just turning it off
should we tell him?
Gabriel Wilson
And where are your food rations and emergency water? Flood water ain’t drinkable.
Nathan Myers
Shutdown, as in going subcritical. I'm not suggesting it would go cold shutdown in a couple days, but it's not like an user who thinks a hurricane can reach the core is going to understand that.
Adrian Hill
city water quality can easily be compromised with sewage
Caleb Evans
pic will be Brunswick Nuclear Power Station cooling water intake canal after the storm surge
I don't get why people are boarding up here. What are they expecting?
James Gonzalez
Can you afford a vacation? If it becomes a waiting game with line crews going up and down the streets just take a long ass road trip. Go to fuckin Key West. You won’t be suffering and you might even come back to full power.
Me I'm going to steal ChapStick Who knew Shell doesn't sell that shit. Now everyone is closed and my lips are chapped
Dylan Sanchez
Be glad you're too far north, if you were down here you'd end up with a hole in your head, we shoot looters on sight and unlike the neighborhood blocs that our little brother Louisiana formed during Katrina we don't just defend our own we actively go out and hunt Boy I swear if that book wasn't written by a Roadie you're hangin
