SBISD closed Tuesday.
And on the topic of finals in SBISD:

Quote:

As of now, students are expected to complete final exams as planned when they return to school (except for seniors who will not need to take any further finals).

Final exam grades will be counted only if they positively impact the student's final class grade. Any exam that would negatively impact a student's final grade will not be counted.



Translation: show up to school so we can get the attendance to be paid by the state

North side of Richelieu just came back on, after having the south side of the street taunting us with their power all day.

If you live in a culdesac or end of a street make sure you report the outage. It's getting to the point where small pockets may be left waiting!

Hadn't thought about that in a long time.

Couple weeks ago I was somewhere else after a different storm, laying horizontal in the dark and heard Alexa come on in a different room and start playing a random song when everything was back online.

Funny how technology punctuates things like this.

I was rocking a work flip phone during Ike. If life changing everts are punctuated by technology, I guess it was my umlaut period.

They had to work in some climate change discussion.

Surprised it took that long. It's not like we haven't had bad storms 30-40 years ago. Channelview got lit up by a tornado in 1992. There was a really bad derecho that came through in 1986 as well.

Of course it's man-made climate change to this guy. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Quote:

"This was a rare but not unprecedented storm," said Matt Lanza, a Houston-based meteorologist and managing editor of the website Space City Weather. "But you do have to add that it does tend to fit the general theory and blueprint of climate change."

...
To Lanza's surprise, however, the storms did not weaken as they moved toward Houston. Instead, they intensified.

"Typically, (storms) blow up and then weaken after a little bit, but it just kept going and going and going and getting stronger," Lanza said. "That kind of wind is not normal here. Nothing about that is typical."

That's why it's a once in a generation storm, Jizzwagon Lanza.

I feel like y'all are reading too much into those comments. If you read their actual blog about it he clearly stated these storms happen but are rare. He also clearly stated that they see the conditions that can spawn these types of storms fairly regularly, but it's like a 1 in 1,000 chance of actually happening. So if they reported on them every time it was a possibility it'd be like the boy who cried wolf. He also mentioned this storm would be studied in depth by many people to try to get more information on early prediction signs.

The quotes posted above (not clicking the link of an obvious clickbait article) seem to me like a liberal piece massaging language to fit their climate change agenda.

Oak Forest got hit with a bad tornado back in the early 2000s that was pretty bad. I remember it was a small path of destruction but it f'ed some ish up.

Yes...but Lanza is clearly all in on climate change (and probably manmade).

So he may hedge himself, but he absolutely is a champion that climate change is causing bigger storms and hurricanes.

Don't necessarily disagree. But do disagree that he's one of the ones that tried to attribute every potential storm to climate change. Unless I missed it, which very possible, don't think he mentioned it once in their blog about this event.

Where in that did you read man made climate change?

Climate change is fact. What the cause is and the solution to is up for debate. Lanza mentions it a bunch, but I don't see him pointing the finger at us and being all Al Gore. Hell, he is sponsored by Reliant. Not goaltending for him, but maybe some of you are just triggered by the term global warming.

Ah..yes on SCW, he's going to be PC.

It's his twitter account where you see he's a true liberal.

It's annoying because he is active and quite good during storms in terms of giving updates and feedback...but when there's no storms, he lets his liberal side show forth and you have to ignore it.
