Is it just me or do hurricanes always seem to make landfall on the weekend?

1. I was thinking that this A.M. and I also was considering

that East Coast snowstorms also occur mostly on the weekends...I know this because I work Saturdays.

[Maine-ah]

9. nah...

most of our storms hit during the week this past winter...plenty on the weekend too, but I don't know how many times this past winter I had to call the boss to see if he needed me in or not during the bad storms.

2. It's not just you back east, either. Here in SoCal, the most ghastly heat waves

always seem to come on the weekends to ruin them, as do the winter rainstorms. For all the nice weather we have, we sure don't get to enjoy it much. It's only nice on weekdays.

4. Oh yeah. Poor you.

The weather in socal is really hard on the people. :nopity:

5. Are you aware that it got 119F here just a few years ago? RIGHT HERE,

in the city of Los Angeles, half a mile from where I sit? And that we frequently have summer heat waves in excess of 115F?

And that it's not uncommon for the power to fail during these heat waves, so our UNINSULATED apartments (we're not all rich enough to live in newer construction) rapidly become dangerous ovens without air conditioning?

I didn't think so.

There are huge swaths of this entire state that get dangerous heat for prolonged periods. Worse by far than poor widdle TX and OK are seeing this year, BTW.

13. "poor widdle tx? "

oh no you di'int.
theyve had over 50 days of 100 plus.

[kestrel91316]

14. So? We get that and worse some years. And 115F+ is in a whole 'nother league of hot.

...and YOU are the one who picked this fight.

3. Because the corporations control them and don't want them to interfere with the work week.

:tinfoilhat:

7. lol, They know when to seed the clouds over the Atlantic

:rofl:

Probably somebody in the dungeon will come up with this

[obxhead]

12. This wasn't cloud seeding, it was HAARP.

:tinfoilhat: :hide:

6. It might just be you

A segment of past reality doesn't agree your hypothesis at any rate...

8. But first landfall was during the weekend

[Bosonic]

10. So you are adjusting your hypothesis to...

"Is it just me or do hurricanes always seem to make *first* landfall on the weekend?"

?

11. duder, when I put "hurricanes always seem to make landfall"

of course it was implied "first" landfall...


Sheeesh...glad I don't have to help you troubleshoot GR303 issues :)
