That's what they said, so they said it had 154 MPH "sustained" winds - with higher gusts, the highest gust I've seen was around 135 - that's one gust. Most other peak gusts were in the area of 115-120, so there were no SUSTAINED winds anywhere near what they said , i doubt it was sustained anywhere over 100-105. 100MPH winds are very strong and we can see what they do, but why lie? Why pretend it was a cat 4 when it wasn't? They have changed the historical definition of a hurricane(sustained winds at the surface) to wind measurements at 10-15K feet, which are meaningless.

Just cant imagine doing that for a few lousy bucks. why they have good bonuses on door dash. did it once they gave me a crazy $200 sign up bonus for 5 deliveries. those 5 deliveries took 1.5 hours and I made over $250. every weekend they send me a $200 bonus for 25 deliveries but I ain't doing it. Felt like a fackin nagger doing that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like a sustainable business model - that bonus is $8 per delivery(plus the reg rate right?), no way the restaurants are paying doordash that much so they have to be losing money.

Not really, but you do have some good takes on certain things, and I actually think you are an ok dude The one thing you don’t know though is Florida hurricanes. As much as you sit in front of your tv or whatever and consistently downplay what you consider a “rain storm”, actual damage is done to certain areas and that is indisputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ian was a cat 4 we should have seen winds of the intensity they claimed, wasn't even close, not even in the right zip code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGS 9.5 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 You are missing the point. It doesn’t matter what the media says, right or wrong. It doesn’t change the fact that there was major damage. Do you think for one minute the people affected cared if it was a category 1 2 or 3 because the news said otherwise?

Apparently they're saying there were a dozen or more in the carolinas, which is silly, prob auto accidents, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalert447 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 A lot of inland flooding. Zolfo Springs, Arcadia, Ona, Wauchulla. A lot of road closures in that area due to floods. No power as of earlier today. Those rural roads are a mess. Also heard a little while ago that Kissimmee is opening another shelter, in addition to the one at Silver Spurs event center, due to rising flood waters.
