Hurricane Florence

Anybody can create thread...Take Meliai, for instance. She wanted to create this thread and she did....Shit's like magic, obviously.

 

I dont know which language Mangkhut comes from, but in Thai, Mangkud is the thai word for Mangosteen, those little sour lycee like fruits. Like calling it Cyclone Pineapple

 

Bangkok

 

I mean, it has been all over the news for the past few days...

 

Fun fact:

Bangkok has never really ever been called Bangkok. That just came from mispronunciation from foreigners

Its been called Grung tep by the thais for 500 years, Grung tep is the short name, Grung tep mahanakon the official name, and its ceremonial name goes of for 168 letters

How the foreigners 500 years ago got Bangkok from Grung Tep, who knows

 

So how am I the first to post about it then?

 

Shhhhh
Nihilism

 

Because nobody on this forum is directly affected by it, probably.

Why didn't you post about it days ago? Don't be so US-centric, jeez.

dolphins on shore.. do not pet them ...

 

It is windy out there!

 

One of my neighbors just posted that the wind blew thier trampoline over the fence and down the street. I hope it lands in my yard because I always wanted one.

 

I think saying those jackasses were selfish is greatly understating it. smh They are literally risking other people's lives because their stupid fucking selves decided to stay. I wish there was a rule that said...when you are TOLD to evacuate (and they were!!!) and you choose to stay, you DO NOT GET FIRST RESPONDERS, FEMA OR ANYBODY ELSE TO RISK THEIR LIVES TO COME AND GET YOUR STUPID ASS.

I truly have less than zero sympathy for people like that.

 

How is Hip Forums' Carolina contingency holding on this morning?

 

They did say they would not come to get anyone that choose to stay .. Our human nature is to brave the elements and save lives ...Fuck what we said earlier. That's people.

 

lol...as you can see, I'm full of piss and vinegar.

@Meliai is probably at work.

@Eric! is ??? I'm still trying to find out if Eric! is on the coast...but I believe I saw a post he did earlier today.

Thanks for the update, Lynn.

You guys take care.

 

Hey Lynn, I'm inland, about 3 hours form the coast. It's been hammering rain and heavy winds since late last night. I'm on high ground.
