rpgamer Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago ..Prolly shouldn't make light of this, cuz it's sure to be horrifically catastrophic. (bonus: can't wait to hear about all the aid we're not sending.. better get those paper towels ready to throw...) This monster has been edging the whole Caribbean for a few days now, just hanging out and building up. It's looking like it's picked a course now. Predictions of 20-30+ inches of rain for most of the island. Possibly up to 13 feet of storm surge for the SE. (image is a day old, much closer now, landfall expected today) 2 Quote

It took a significant amount of willpower to not start off with "Hermes better have those alphabet blocks locked down tight." But then.. it got me thinking about all the ways Futurama actually could've made more little references to the impacts of global warming. I mean, yeah, not really the message they were going for or anything. But, thinking about the song, and how Hermes said "there was a foot and a half of water." But as we're seeing rising sea level, warming oceans, stronger storms, they definitely could've pumped those numbers up. More on topic and relevant to my interests, this feels like it's sure to be awful for the coral reefs there. They're not in the greatest shape as is due to warming and all, and I know it struggled mightily to recover after the last major hurricanes decades ago. And, landwise, the region I had seen is... definitely not structurally prepared to handle anything like this.. 1 Quote
