I went thru 2 typhoons while in the Navy. They were windy, loud and rainy. The absolute worst weather I ever saw was in those deep low pressure storms in the gulf of Alaska.

Out of curiosity did Clark reply with a glove smack in return?

I believe the reply was, "turn your head and cough".

I remember a teacher reading us part of a pioneer journal when I was in Junior High. The party had made it to the end of the Oregon Trail at Kelly Field in Oregon City and the men were inspecting their possessions. They opened the casks of nails only to find them rusted and unusable. The next line was "the women sat down in the mud and cried".

Followed 2 years later by the following:
"Hey Lewis...."
"Yea Clark,....."
"It never stopped fooking raining!"

According to NOAA, this typhoon carries the potential to be more devastating than the movie Ishtar.

Yikes.

That's the equivalent of almost two Yoko Ono songs!

I asked who's singing.
They said Yoko
I said Ono

Just in time for my truck to take a dump and be in the shop for the next few weeks, leaving me with the motorcycle for transportation.

If you're in the area, please try to not run me over. Thanks.

I don't ride, but I block out for bikes.

I feel for you. I rode through two winters, fortunately in a warm state. I can remember sitting under overpasses a few times waiting for the worst of it to pass. And hydroplaning once. Only once. When my boots started leaking I lined them with bread bags. Feels really weird but it works. Good thing I was young then.

If you want to call that caterwauling "singing"...

 

[titsonritz]

Always cracks me up when people cry about drought only to b!tch about landslides and floods when the rain comes. Guess what people, we are all little fly chit specs in the big scheme of things, deal with it.

So severe CLS in the near future? Cool.

Yeah, been there, done that too. I got caught in a random snowfall a couple times in Flagstaff.

I'm not going to complain TOO much. Back then I didn't have much for riding gear outside a jacket, gloves and helmet. Now I have some good gore-tex pants, gloves & jacket, real waterproof riding boots and a bike with 85 less HP and with traction control, ABS, heated grips and a sense of my own mortality. I'm bubbleffin spoiled now!

People paid attention in AZ for bikes, not so much out here. So if y'all could try not to kill me, that would be great.
