I didn't realize until very recently that mosquito trucks don't really exist outside Louisiana.
I was doing some work for a guy out of California and I was working outside. A mosquito truck passed the house and I told him to hang on just a second that the mosquito truck will pass in just a bit. He had no clue what I was referring to.
I've heard the mosquitos in La. are big but didn't know it took a truck to carry one!!!!!Quote:

You deliver your mosquitos in trucks? We just let them fly here on their own. No wonder you have so many!
Frankly, I can think of better ways to spend your money.
A mosquito truck drove through my neighborhood in August. It is the one and only time I have heard a mosquito truck in this state in all the years I have lived here (23, by now). Apparently, we have about as many mosquito trucks as we have snow plows.
Also, mosquito trucks were all over the Florida Keys. They also used aerial spraying.
We’re evacuating to Memphis... this sucks.
What's this to do with? There's been nothing on the news over here.Quote:

Because of Hurricane Delta ?
Thanks. I don't think that's hit the news at all over here. My knowledge of hurricane forces etc. is pretty negligible but that looks nasty.
Good luck and best wishes, DD
I live about 30ish miles away from the gulf (about an 1.5 hour drive but about 1/2 hour boat ride) from the gulf.
I don't evacuate for anything under a 3, but their predicting that this will either be a strong 2 or a weak 3. So that's enough for me.
Of course I planned on leaving Friday morning, but now it looks like it'll be Thursday.
Shoot, that's tomorrow!
I read it has been graded to 4, has it been decreased ? https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/06/w...day/index.html
It'll be Category 4 over the gulf, which isn't surprising, it (generally) will gradually reduce speed once it gets closer to land. The exception of course was Hurricane Laura this year where it kept getting stronger and stayed a Category 4 even once it made landfall.
Ok. in any case, Keep safe you and your wife (and the kids if any).
Hurricanes tend to speed up over warm water, and weaken fast over land, but even when over warm water they go in cycles of waxing and waning.
The waxing part started with The Karate Kid. The waning part was much further back with either Wane's World or Wane Newton.
I thought that was gamma rather than delta. It's still only early October, so there is plenty more hurricane season to go, but I thought we were deeper into the Greek alphabet already. I don't see any other named storms currently on the hurricane net.
There is a Gamma, but I think it already died out. It had hit Mexico as a weak tropical storm.
Ah, so that's what I was remembering. That's good, and it fits with what I remembered, too.
So, you're already down to the gamma quadrant, and getting ready to feel the delta force.
What happens if the Greek alphabet gets exhausted??
