Remember when judges said we couldn't keep giving "free money" to all these corporations over and over? Yeah me neither. Why is it that we always have to fight helping our own people but will walk through broken glass, nails, lava, etc., to help billion dollar companies and other countries?

Yep. Cops don't protect and serve the people. They protect and serve capital, i.e. corporations, the rich, oligarchs, etc.

Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Isaac, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores, and on Tropical Storm Joyce, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.

  1. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90): Recent satellite imagery indicates that the circulation associated with an area of low pressure located several hundred miles west- southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is becoming better defined. Environmental conditions are favorable for continued development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form early this week, possibly as soon as tonight. The low will continue to move westward and then northwestward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
  • Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
  1. Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico: A broad area of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form around the middle part of this week while the disturbance meanders towards the west-northwest. This system is then expected to move northwestward into the Gulf of Mexico during the latter portion of this week, and interests in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should monitor its progress.
  • Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
  1. Eastern Atlantic: A low-latitude tropical wave located near the coast of western Africa is currently producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity. Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive for gradual development of this system during the next several days while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
  • Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
  • Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php

I could've said that was the reason before even reading this lol. It's obvious to anyone who lives here. Unless you want to join the military or get lucky with the shipyard or something like Ferguson, there's not much here. But hey if you want to work 10-20 hours/week for minimum wage with a random schedule, boy do we have something for you! Sure, you'll need to work 4-8 of these jobs to afford a 1 bedroom apartment on your own, but hey, you don't need time to do anything else like eat or sleep right?

They've been gentrifying the hell out of the region for years and years, letting rent skyrocket and wages stagnate at best and then act surprised when this is the outcome. No one can afford to live here, it's a joke.

I've heard people say that they know it's unconstitutional and their goal is to get someone to sue over it and take it to SCOTUS so SCOTUS can rule in their favor and give them free reign to violate the 1st amendment all they want.

Probably because they know Trump is full of shit.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 10.4 North, longitude 51.2 West. Beryl is moving quickly toward the west near 20 mph (31 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Beryl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area beginning Sunday night. Devastating wind damage is expected where the eyewall of Beryl moves through portions of the Windward Islands.

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area starting Sunday night, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area starting Sunday night.

Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater.

STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 5 to 7 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore flow near where Beryl makes landfall in the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

RAINFALL: Hurricane Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches across Barbados and the Windward Islands Sunday night into Monday. This rainfall may cause flooding in vulnerable areas.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf

SURF: Swells generated by Beryl are expected to reach the Windward and southern Leeward Islands by late Sunday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
