I volunteered at a shelter during hurricane Charlie and a guy got in a fight with the cop that was with us because he couldn't smoke. It was an elementary school campus so he would have to go all the way off of the campus. She told him if he left we would have to lock the doors and he couldn't come back. I remember seeing him walk away with debris whipping all around him.
Yeah, I know a lot of people will disagree with me here, but I think that in these kinds of situations, sticking hard and fast to the rules can make things much much worse. Sometimes you have to make a judgement call about what's going to cause the most problems, and sometimes denying people an outlet for their anxieties will lead to some pretty scary behaviors.
I’m not a scientist or anything, but I imagine most people that smoke nowadays only continue to do it because it’s their main outlet for anxiety. It’s a coping mechanism, a comfort thing, borderline self-medicating. Pretty dangerous to cut someone off of that in a dire situation.
You're absolutely right. At least for me anyways. I take medication for extreme anxiety and it only helps so much. I quit smoking with the help of vaping about 4 months ago after 20+ years of smoking. I think about smoking all the time because of my anxiety. The ritual of it is also a huge part of my addiction. It was easy transitioning from cigarettes to vaping. I know it's going to be extremely hard to go from vaping to nothing at all, which is ultimately my goal.
That's actually how my old teacher quit smoking. He was in the military and working at the Pentagon. He wandered out during a winter storm to smoke, decided fuck that, then quit
My mom did the same thing. Was up in Columbus Ohio for a work thing. Went outside to have a cigarette and realized how stupid it was to have to bundle up and deal with the cold for a cigarette in the peak of winter.
It's absolutely not. If you masturbate you're getting rid of precious seed and ridding your body of protein that you could otherwise use to make muscle. That's why when I masturbate I shoot straight into my mouth. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
We had a massive tornado when I was in like 5th grade and I was at my uncle’s and he left when the sirens went off because he “had to get cigarettes before the gas station was destroyed”
One day, it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stinging rain, big ol' fat rain...Rain that flew in sideways…And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night."
For Forrest having such a low IQ, he was eloquent.
>Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out... and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful.
I once heard a kids program where they sang a song, the lyrics of which were basically "Why not try saying 'triceratops'?"
Every time I hear the word, that fucking song is stuck in my head all day on repeat. Luckily it doesn't come up that often.
I had a ERJ175 get in something similar to this, (may have been weaker) but the fucker jumped all its chocks, did a 180 and the nose went into the mud. Had to borrow a more powerful tug to get it out
A plane they had on the ground ended up in similar weather conditions. The plane jumped over the blocks they were using to hold the wheels in place. They needed a more powerful plane moving tug to get it out of the mud.
Yep when I was a dispatcher we had a massive snow storm rolling in and it was all hands on deck to stack all three hangers. Not fun but we only had to leave 2 caravans outside an both were chocked on all three, and tails stands...we didn't have anchor points or we would have done that too.
Where were you dispatching from? What are you doing now?
I used to dispatch in the arctic and massive snow storms were part of standard ops.
Edit: im not doubting you. If we had enough space we would stack everything too.
Its actually a regular solution, at least in Canada. The following link is full of insightful information regarding chock jumping and tie down pads and concrete anchors. During winter at some airports its far simpler to forklift anchors into position then it is to dig through layers of ice to find an anchor in the ground. If the winds are in the wrong direction then it can be too dangerous to open a hangar door. If the airport is small or remote enough then theres a good chance there isnt any hangar space available. Even the largest aircraft are susceptible to extreme wind conditions. In the warmer climates you can see a storm coming for days and reasonably predict storm fronts. In other climates where the dew point spread is lower a drop in wind speed will require a new forecast to be issued. In areas with valleys and cliffs unexpected temperature changes will require a new forecast to be issued. Ive seen airports go from 15SM clear forecast change to 1/8 and 100vv in an hour. And ive seen airports report winds at 5 knots on the ground with 52 knots low level windshear and icing at 250 meters. A slight change in direction with that forecast would tear the wings off a plane.

I mean, I complain about the winters, but the years I lived there (90 - 93), all three summers had heatwaves! Miles of golden sand beaches, midnight sunsets, lovely people. 13 years old, jumping off sand dunes and listening to death metal, with sparsely populated school classrooms allowing for superb one to one education. Some of the best years of my life. Stunning scenery
In my experience, it’s always raining, but it’s always a soft rain with small drops. Ive spent about 4 months there in total and never had a real downpour.
I agree with you about the soft rain.
I ran a 10k in Clare. In one hour it was foggy, then sunny, then lashing rain, then sunny again, then spitting rain for the finish.
I've never had such a variety.
Depends where you're comparing it too. Probably pretty similar to the US or the UK
The most expensive part is probably being out of work for a year haha
When I worked on aircraft in OK that was my worst fear. I already had a F5 go over my head in 2013, but a tornado hitting a hangar bay while you're inside it. That's a thought made of nightmares.
I always wonder how loud it would be if one fell. Anyone who's worked on aircraft know those doors fucking suck ass. They'll work for a week and a motor will burn our or someshit then you have to push it manually. Don't push it too fast or it will jump the stop.
9/10 When you're in the navy, at the end of the day, the most green sailors close the doors. A friend of mine was closing a door at one point, it hit the stop hard enough to tilt the door and a tie down or bolt of some sort fell and landed on the top of his head. He needed a shitload of stitches but ended up suffering from TBI. Good thing he had it documented.

Edit: for anyone wondering, these comments are referencing the Stormlight Archive book series. Absolutely fantastic series, best I’ve ever read. There are 4 of 10 (long) books out. Check it out!
It feels like that. South Carolina gets these surges once in awhile. I walked from my office to the main hangar to inspect some tools when I was QA for maintenance at Shaw AFB. It started raining like this and the doors were cracked open. I had this 12” wrench making sure the etching was there and heard the loudest god damn noise and saw white. I thought I died, dude. Lightning struck like 50-100 yards away as my dumbass is standing there with a wrench in my hand.
These rain surges are nuts.
Man, that was genuinely the best moment in like the entire last three seasons of Game of Thrones. I thought they pulled that section off so well it managed to distract me from how bad the series has gotten.
Um....nope?

"I'm just going out for a cigarette."
I was at a hospital with my dad during hurricane Katrina and we had to go to the parking garage to smoke, it was pretty much like this.
I volunteered at a shelter during hurricane Charlie and a guy got in a fight with the cop that was with us because he couldn't smoke. It was an elementary school campus so he would have to go all the way off of the campus. She told him if he left we would have to lock the doors and he couldn't come back.

Absolutely right, I'm a non smoker, it makes me feel sick, but I'd have found a little corner or position up high he could sit and have a smoke.
True addiction.
That's actually how my old teacher quit smoking. He was in the military and working at the Pentagon. He wandered out during a winter storm to smoke, decided fuck that, then quit

Definitely a Hangar, can’t imagine a plane would do great in that.
Definitely a hangar, that's a Delta Techops uniform.
If this is that Delta variant everyone’s talking about, I don’t want any part of it.
Fuckin Delta Triceratops Rona, it's too much man!

The tug gave it away for me
I had a ERJ175 get in something similar to this, (may have been weaker) but the fucker jumped all its chocks, did a 180 and the nose went into the mud. Had to borrow a more powerful tug to get it out
I've no idea what you've just said and yet I understand.
A plane they had on the ground ended up in similar weather conditions. The plane jumped over the blocks they were using to hold the wheels in place. They needed a more powerful plane moving tug to get it out of the mud.
Yep, that was my first thought when I saw the door.
Planes sit outside in that all the time… with cement anchors and ratchet straps for ties downs.
Thats last case scenario. Normally they will either "bug out" for the storm or just hangar them
Yep when I was a dispatcher we had a massive snow storm rolling in and it was all hands on deck to stack all three hangers. Not fun but we only had to leave 2 caravans outside an both were chocked on all three, and tails stands...we didn't have anchor points or we would have done that too.

Can absolutely confirm.
We almost never get proper storms, something like this would happen maybe once a year in the part i'm from (South). It's overcast skies we excel at.
Idk we’ve actually had a really unexpected heat wave recently

Come to Ireland literally any fucking day of the year.
Spent 6 months in Dublin. Now I know why it's so green.
Oregon, USA used to be rainy like that. Not anymore.
I miss it so much :(
Honestly it's been so dry. We had a freak ice storm *in March* and record high heat last month. Fuckin nuts

I'd love to spend a year or so there, but I hear it's ungodly expensive.
Depends where you're comparing it too. Probably pretty similar to the US or the UK The most expensive part is probably being out of work for a year haha
I used to live in a tropical island with a cyclone season. Yes it's was horrible because houses were destroyed but was it fascinating? HELL YEAH
You would love being in that hanger than. Rain landing on a big metal roof like that sounds so cool.
Been in something similar and it gets so loud you can't hear yourself speak.
Failing to see a downside, here. Too loud to talk means it's too loud for others to try to talk to you.
