Bloody weather! ... and flyability

Strange how nobody seems to care about Yucatan.

Same with quakes. M7 in Vanuatu gets no mention. M2 anywhere in USA and the world’s coming to an end… from their headlines.

Wrong colour, wrong culture, wrong religion.
Sad days indeed :cry:

Google “Yucatan Hurricane” … and apparently Florida airports are closing …

Does this mean Florida is blaming Yucatan? “The Yucatan hurricane is coming!”, style.

This “may be the worst hurricane in a century” …

Well … this will keep everything dry!

According to the accurate-as-always BBC weather app, the winds are even worse in Wigan at 14,506mph :roll_eyes:

Thankfully by Friday it looks like it will have passed.

Winds expected to drop to 115mph then 6mph.

Interesting thought. Would that be silent … it’s faster than the speed of sound, so any noise created would be blown away before you heard it.

@clinkadink would still go out with his Mini for a speed record. :roll_eyes:

14,000 or 15,000 mph is nothing. Come to Southend on Sea.

If that wasn’t enough, just had a phone notification from Aurora Watch of a level 10 Solar Event, imminent. Was just about to go over the park for some flying practice with my new Maven app, but I’ll go for brownie points and do The Squeeze’s shopping instead…

Airdata has some high ‘extreme’ kp figures for this evening as well. I know some of you don’t think this stuff really affects drones, but, especially with my luck, I prefer to play safe.

OTOH if it fries a few seagulls it’ll be worth not flying this evo…

Tinfoil hat time
