"Up to Florida" said a tree removal expert from VT, as he told me to look-up a video showing how the ocean had disappeared and the seabed was exposed in Bermuda when Super Storm Irma hit that island chain. When I said I didn't understand what he meant, the repairman said, "Look on the internet for the video of the boy in Bermuda walking out on his dock and looking down (to see) no ocean, no water the ocean was gone!" Another video has an accompanying text that says "Ocean Floor Off Bahamas Exposed as Hurricane Irma" slams the island location. IOW, Irma was so powerful, by then a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 185 mph, that the hurricane actually sucked up and displaced the waters of the Atlantic Ocean! "The Keys are gone," his fellow repairman said.
As the VT tree removal crew waited in a long line of six utility and other emergency vehicles in front of my house, they told me: "The boss called late Thursday afternoon (9-7-17) and said (to) be ready to leave on a moment's notice." They traveled south throughout the 24 hour run up to Irma's arrival as storm escapees fled north on very slow moving lanes. The rescue and repair crews were pre-positioned in an amazing choreography of men and vehicles, waiting to offer their services after the unwanted beast crawled out of Florida. "We brought 29 men, 11 buckets (the high rise cherry picker trucks) and four pickup trucks. They were part of the massive convergence of power restoration crews flooding into Florida from CA, Canada, VT and NH. KY sent their ambulance strike force and MA and MN sent medical, search and rescue...

Hmmm. Maybe. If we follow the upcoming movie “geostorm” it’s highly possible. You know, where a bunch of sats are launched to control the weather and some nefarious group hacks into the system creating havoc. Yeah, it’s actually a movie due out soon. To die an unglorious death at the box office. Quickly to video.

In this politically correct world, this is an offensive statement. Men and vehicles?? What about women?? Won’t it hurt the self esteem of little girls, and offend the sensibilities of liberal women, to suggest that only men are electrical workers????
And what if any of the “men” they say are on the crews, actually identify as something other than a man?? What then?? What about celebrating diversity????
Oh my G-d! Low tide during a tropical depression - what weapon!
Somehow some tech in Alaska managed to ‘weaponize’ a storm system over 5 thousand miles away. WOW! Look out Kim! There will be storms! Russia and China are mystified as to why the US would use its ‘weaponized’ tech on itself, and not them or Kim.
FUD
LOL...great demo!
He could also demo a hard boiled egg getting sucked into a milk bottle.
“A milk bottle?” What’s that, you say? Never heard of such a thing.
“Trucks” — it sounds so, so, ... well, masculine. I’m triggered!
It also occurs from the wind pushing against the wall of water in front of it. Kind of like a snowball.
By asking this question in a headline, this site shows itself unworthy of FR posting.
You know, there is a rule on FARK.com that just as easily applies here: Any time a headline asks a question, 99% of the time, the answer is ‘no’.
Perhaps the black ops ninja frogmen dropped the Loretta Fuddy mannikin and short coffin into the hurricane eye creating an EMP that sucked up the water across the unprotected southern border.
They needed to remove the ocean to restock the underwater mechanic shops.
Exactly. It isn’t really the low pressure, which is only dominant at the eye. It depends on which side of the hurricane’s circulation you are located at any given point in time. If the circulation in your location is toward the shore, the winds will cause a storm surge and we have heard numbers like 8-10 feet when winds are 100+ mph. If your location sees off-shore wind direction, you get the opposite; it drives water away from the shore by a similar though somewhat lesser amount. Some people will therefore see the water recede many feet, then rush in as a big storm surge as the hurricane moves through and causes the wind direction in their area to flip. Of course, these effects aren’t huge in the open ocean but if you are at a bay or a river mouth they get amplified a lot.
Phenomenon has been noted since Galveston Bay in 1900. Some due to low pressure but mostly sustained wind effect (seiche).
Did I mention that the frogmen hacked my keyboard and put cayenne pepper in my underwear drawer?
I’m sure it’ll be an awesome book, crafted from the finest plastic binder and clear plastic sleeves.
Suitable for coffee table display in finer, more discerning blogger households everywhere.
Two of the most destructive hurricanes in a century hitting us back to back, one of them perhaps the most violent in several centuries... What are the odds?
This was a very visible effect of Hurricane Irma as it passed to the EAST of Tampa. The prevailing counter-clockwise winds moved a lot of water out of the bay, exposing sea bottom and tempting idiots to walk out on it. Like all coastal estuaries and bays, what you fear is the hurricane center moving past you on the West. Irma inundated the east coast cities from Miami to Charleston.
Hurricane of 1928 did that I lake
