Sundance has clearly offended Cobra.

Also, felt it here in NJ. Neighbors say they have friends/family who felt it from Texas o.O. That doesn't sound possible given it was a 5.8 originating in Virginia.

Sneak in a folding chair. You don't need drinks. Free Dr. Pepper all day lol.

The stream is going to suffer so badly. I might not even bother haha

Now didn't they say the weather was the cause of the other stream problems. How do they find these cities that have crazy storms in the summer? MLG needs to come to Cali.

There are not enough Arks. Not enough by half.

If people complain about the stream due to the storm, I will laugh. And laugh. And laugh.

How am I a troll?

I've lived in Florida my entire life.

Anything under Cat 3 is a JOKE.

You are idiot if you really think that. All the facts are telling, that for sane people category 2 is threat that should be taken very seriously. Also, it might be fun to play with umbrellas and skateboards until you get your head cut off by flying piece of metal.

I'll trust the guy from florida.

Being in florida does not quarantee that person is even sane.


So I am now insane because I believe that 70mph storm is a joke?

Yes, you shouldn't walk around the junkyard filled with light pieces of sharp metal. Yes, you shouldn't go swim 100 yards out in the ocean. But to think that you need to board up, get dozens of gallons of gas + a generator ready, and get enough food to last you a week for a fucking Cat 2 is a joke.

I've been through many, many hurricanes in my lifetime and for EVERY SINGLE Cat 1 or Cat 2 I have never boarded up anything and I've NEVER had a problem EVER. Neither has anyone I known, for that fact. I've taken my dog for a fucking walk during a Cat 1 once.

Yes, you shouldn't take it as a rainshower on a sunny Summer afternoon. That's a granted for ANY 'major' storm. However, you are treating this as if it's a damn Cat 4, as I said earlier.

I hate when Europeans talk about Hurricane like they know. You are not qualified to give advice unless you got a degree in the subject or have experienced it personally. Cat 1 is literally a rainshower and a Cat 2 is "Oh something might happen if I'm drunk and stupid or I live on the edge of a giant muddy hill"


uh oh, he's lived in florida his whole life

he must know everything!

If they're using satellite for internet again, I don't think that's going to go too well.

Well here's hoping the stream miraculously stays smooth.

He's right, though. Where Raleigh is situated, a category 2 storm would lose power as it goes overland, and you're probably not going to get much besides very heavy rain and occasional strong wind gusts. I've lived in the Triangle area for 9 years (total, not continuously), and honestly the winter storm (around 2000 ish) was more disruptive than any hurricane or tropical storm that's ever hit us.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be out and about in Hurricane Irene either, and I certainly wouldn't be driving on account of the visibility and how hard it is to drive in heavy rain. I had originally planned on going to MLG, but depending on how things look, I might just watch some of the streams instead.

uh oh, he's on the internet

he must be able to counter the irrefutable power of a lifetime worth of experience in two grammatically incorrect sentences!

Have you ever even seen a Category 2 Hurricane? It's like a pacifist nor'easter on pain killers.

Save 2 Zergs, 2 Toss and 2 Terran.



The worst part of this whole thing is that those saved will have to breed for their races to continue...i just puked in my mouth a little.

That sucks, but they have plenty of reasons for not allowing people to do this. One of them being avoiding fire hazards.
