30 mph. I would even say it's possible at 25 mph sustained.

We have 30 mph sustained winds here all the time and it doesn't affect the trees any. We probably have less fragile trees than you do, though.

Yeah, I was like, what?  When I was growing up in western Kansas, sustained 30 mph wind was called "light breezes" on the weather forecast.

I just perused the following link to get an insight on the name issue:

https://time.com/6218275/strongest-hurricanes-us-map/

Of the nine Category 4 and 5 hurricanes named on the map, six are masculine (Andrew, Charley, Harvey, Hugo, Ian, Michael) and three feminine (Ida, Irma, Laura). Sure, Katrina caused catastrophic damage in New Orleans and elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, but she was only a Category 3, and thus left off the list.

Q, U, X, Y and Z should be added to Atlantic lists and Q and U to Pacific lists. There would be only two rotating names, like Pacific X, Y and Z, which are Xina, York, Zelda in odd-numbered years and Xavier, Yolanda, Zeke in even-numbered years.

Kernals is pretty detestable.  He also managed to get himself kicked off of Reddit somehow.

Probably by threatening someone who says that maybe Phoenix needs a bit more transit instead of expanding I-10 to 20 lanes. The dude was obsessed with Phoenix, and like nobody else really likes Phoenix.

Ehhh...I've found Phoenix has a lot of hobby interest given that there is a lot of new corridor construction in the area.  He also has a weird thing about Houston for some reason.  Some other notable kernals incidents include the California-hate boner rants and the pro-global warming advocacy.  The global warming stance was born out of the fact they Kernals can't seem to make it down a sidewalk without tripping if memory serves correctly.

Roadgeeks like Phoenix due to its massive number of highways. Many others do not because the city appears to be designed in a way that creates the most CO2 emissions possible. And yeah Kernals global warming rants where he displays MMM level knowledge of science are pretty bad as well.

That's why we need those helicopters. To transport autos from point A to point B without them using all those individual motors to emit such co2s. One chopper can haul 3 cars from one end o Phoenix to another end.  2 less motors to run.

We should build dedicated paths for big long cars to go on which carry many people. These paths will ensure no traffic.

Weren't you all spun up about global warming this week?

Quote from: MultiMillionMiler on February 25, 2023, 08:06:28 PM
I've always felt it was an exaggeration, but frankly, the recent "protests" over it that sometimes block traffic, slash tires, dump milk all over the floor of stores that hungry kids could use, and vandalize shops/cars, have lost control. Not to mention the states trying to ban gas powered cars. Meanwhile those people don't realize that half the accessories they use were made in ways that may have harmed the environment. Climate change is not the most important issue on this planet.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with hurricane names?

We have 30 mph sustained winds here all the time and it doesn't affect the trees any. We probably have less fragile trees than you do, though.

I live close enough to 1 to know that 30 MPH doesn't wholesale topple trees in this area, at least not the healthy ones. Getting over 40 MPH sustained and yeah that's when even healthy ones can start reaching the problem area. Especially white pines and oaks, the most common things in eastern Massachusetts and amazingly the weakest things despite being so common.
