Vent thread

165 knots… that’s 305 kph or 190 mph now
 
this is fucking mental
 
Now it’s on the same league as Hurricane Allen.

NO! LET ME REFRAIN THAT…
 
IT’S ACTUALLY 315 KPH NOW.
 
AS STRONG AS FUCKING TYPHOON HAIYAN…

Haiyan vs Goni so far
 
HAIYAN (2013)

GONI (AS OF 3:00 AM)  
1 minute sustained winds: 325 KM/H (200 MPH)  
10 minute sustained winds: 220 KM/H (140 MPH)  
Atmospheric pressure: 885 milibars

What do you think your chances of surviving it are?

I have no friends
 
It is my place, to die.

@GothArts  
Im pretty sure highly likely.  
The problem is the damages to key infrastructures especially network and power, not to mention leaks and flooding, which makes daily lives uncomfortable af.
 
That’s what makes it brutal.

Got a Bible thumper supervisor, no offense to those who are spiritual but he’s one of those fellows who think the end is near and gets mad easily.

Back in late February I spent $120 on a Heath Ledger Joker costume with the intention of wearing it to Planet Comicon. Then China fucked everything up and it was postponed then cancelled. The 2nd con I would’ve worn it to (Topcon in Topeka) also got cancelled. The 3rd chance was the Halloween party a guy I knew from work held every year. Earlier this year he retired and moved to California.  
The final chance was what is going to be the best Halloween ever (despite Corona). But the other forklift driver on my shift beat me to taking the night off, so that’s it. A complete waste of money. Only tried it on once so maybe I can sell it on Ebay and get half of my money back.
 
And 3 days later I still have some pain where the tooth was pulled, to the point it’s hard to chew or sometimes even speak. It might be a case of dry socket, which the dentist warned I had a better chance of getting after a molar removal. I won’t be able to have them check until Monday (and I have to work this weekend).  
I’ve lost track of how many different pains and problems I’ve had to deal with this year. Head, neck, arm, elbow, and tooth pain, uncontrollable GERD caused by my hiatal hernia (which also caused pain earlier this year),blood pressure problems, it just keeps adding up.

Here I am caught by the morning sunlight sleepless again with a reason.
 
Overcast as expected with an eerie windless cold air as I await for the absolution.
 

Landfall on Catanduanes island at 5 AM, Goni is now the strongest landfalling tropical cyclone ever observed at 195 MPH.

My predictions were slightly off I guess. I predicted 2021 would be the year of immense natural disasters. Guess 2020 wants in on the action though.

It’s not the end.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
As long as you are fully prepared and take shelter at the right place in your house, you will survive it

When I was a kid, I loved Halloween. My family used to walk around trick or treating until hours after dark. We had such adventures on those spooky nights. When I grew too old to go trick or treating and I had no parties or anything to go to, I still enjoyed Halloween but a large part of the magic was lost. Now, it’s pretty much like any other day except I have to give out candy.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
how are you not prize fighting with that much fighting potential?  
it could be a decent living. You get to beat the shit out of people and get paid for it.

Whiskey and pot mixes too well.

@kleptomage  
I always dressed up for Halloween.

I think i’ll be fine for now. The typhoon has lost so much power during the landfalls on the Eastern Region, also the storm center might not make it to Manila after all thank fucking god.

I hate being Irish.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
But Ireland is cool!

I’ll admit that 300 km/h mark really took me by surprise to the point i was almost in all kinds of panicking.
 
Goni is no longer a category 5 super typhoon now bloody goodness.

I bought some booze today and the register lookout was suspicious that i was old enough, saying I look 18. Didn’t ask for my card, because she’s new, but I’m not quite sure how to take that.
 
Also, my mother is adamant that i shouldn’t buy alcohol in front of my co-workers.

@WyrmSpawN  
I have a young face,that’s partially why I have a beard.

Alcohol poisoning is the worst
