Cops don’t protect and serve the people. They protect and serve capital, i.e. corporations, the rich, oligarchs, etc.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 10.4 North, longitude 51.2 West. Beryl is moving quickly toward the west near 20 mph (31 km/h). A continued quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast over the next day or so, and Beryl is expected to become a dangerous major hurricane before it reaches the Windward Islands.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
Key messages for Beryl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area beginning Sunday night. Devastating wind damage is expected where the eyewall of Beryl moves through portions of the Windward Islands.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area starting Sunday night, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area starting Sunday night.
Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater.
STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 5 to 7 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore flow near where Beryl makes landfall in the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
RAINFALL: Hurricane Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches across Barbados and the Windward Islands Sunday night into Monday. This rainfall may cause flooding in vulnerable areas.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf
SURF: Swells generated by Beryl are expected to reach the Windward and southern Leeward Islands by late Sunday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST.

varoth@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•RealPage Rent Price-Fixing Probe Escalates With FBI RaidEnglish1·1 year agoAgreed. Corporations should not be allowed to own housing. It has zero benefits for the public and little to no drawbacks for the corporation.
varoth@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•America’s Commute to Work Is Getting Longer and LongerEnglish5·1 year agoGentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.
It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It’s both. It’s the same coin.
varoth@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•America’s Commute to Work Is Getting Longer and LongerEnglish232·1 year agoPretty much. Gentrification in action. They’re pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there’s long waits and “no service” and how “no one wants to work anymore.” You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these “great” jobs yourselves?

They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this BS. There’s been rampant price gouging, fixing, and collusion going on in this country for a long time now across industries and it sure would be nice if someone would do something to stop it.

God is a figment of society’s imagination. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster are all more real than “God.”
Also, we don’t have a state religion despite these fuckwads’ desperation for a christofascist theocracy. Can’t they just all fuck off to some uninhabited island and live out their stupidity there?
