[18:20:56] <Bytram> :(
[18:21:29] <chromas> Everything's bigger in Texas
[18:22:49] <Bytram> yeah, but wait until Alaska splits itself into two states, then Texas would be the 3rd largest state in the country
[18:22:56] <Bytram> ;)
[18:25:24] <chromas> Alaska is bigger in Texas, too.
[18:25:40] <Bytram> ROFL!
[18:25:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> You know what I find funny?
[18:25:46] <Bytram> Not yet?
[18:25:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> There's a part of Alaska that is Unalaska.
[18:26:06] <chromas> The Canadian part?
[18:26:08] <Bytram> ~g Unalaska
[18:26:13] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[18:26:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's like "what part of New York do you live in?" "Not New York."
[18:27:25] <chromas> The other New Yorkers complain about their pizza
[18:27:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> but s/New York/Alaska/ s/Not /Un/
[18:27:31] <Bytram> that would be 'upstate' -- that part of New York State that is not Long Island and not New York City.
[18:30:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bytram: that's only what those bastards from NYC will tell you. The rest of us know that the REAL New York has more trees than people.
[18:34:24] <Bytram> heh, *I* could have told you *that*
[18:35:18] * Bytram tries to imagine 50 gazillion new yorkers... and shudders at the... humanity ;)
[18:37:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> NYC: 50% of NYS's people on 1% of its land.
[18:46:59] <Bytram> that sounds about right... I suspect that would hold true for most of the new england states, too, except possibly RI and CT

[18:54:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> Boston is just under 9% of Massachusetts people in just under 10% of its land area. I doubt any of ther rest of them are nearly that bad.
[18:56:57] <Bytram> you prolly already know, but 'Boston' *proper* is actually rather small... but, when you add in the rest of the metropolitan area... one could argue that's at least everything within Rt-128 / I-95 and possibly out to I-495.
[18:57:20] <Bytram> s/rather small/not that big/

[18:57:27] <Bytram> lol
[18:58:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> I lived in Boston for 5 years and Somerville another year.
[18:58:13] <Bytram> nod nod
[18:58:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm quite aware that there are "cities" in that area that you'll miss if you blink while you're driving through them.
[18:58:47] <Bytram> I spent a few years in the suburbs, but worked in Boston, Cambridge, and some of the suburbs as well.
[18:58:54] <Bytram> zqactly
[18:59:35] <Bytram> btw, do you have handly any links about the houston hurricane you'd like to share?
[19:00:34] * Bytram is working on a story for SN and would like to have a list of resources for the non-natives to refer to.
[19:01:23] * AndyTheAbsurd works for a newspaper and doesn't want to be accused of shilling
[19:02:44] <Bytram> not a problem... you can offer, is up to me to accept or decline.

[19:05:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> that's a WaPo story
[19:05:19] <Bytram> ahhh
[19:05:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> We've got a deal with them
[19:05:40] <Bytram> IIRC, there's already a wapo link in the submission...
[19:06:04] <Bytram> I was looking for more nerdy type stuff..
[19:06:32] <Bytram> ISTR there's a .gov page with river/stream flow rates... but can't recall where it is for the life of me
[19:06:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> Then I'd check fark.com's "Geek" page if I were you.
[19:07:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> And also tell people who care about hurricanes - or are potentially in the path of them - to keep an eye on http://www.nhc.noaa.gov for information about current tropical depressions/tropical storms/hurricanes.

[19:11:15] <Bytram> thansk!
[19:16:02] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: Many thanks for the assist!
[19:16:40] * Bytram is knackered -- time for a break, lunch, and maybe a nap.
[19:17:50] * Bytram just looked at: http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov
[19:18:27] <Bytram> 39.72 inches of rain has already fallen on Dayton, TX.
[19:19:15] * Bytram once experienced a 30-inch snowstorm and that was plenty enough inconvenient... cannot even begin to imagine what nearly 40 inches of rain is like.
[19:19:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> 132MPH wind gusts in Port Aransas!
[19:19:37] <Bytram> watch your mouth!
[19:19:38] <Bytram> ;)
[19:19:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> no problem with the assist, glad to help.
[19:20:34] <Bytram> hmmm, at the bottom of that page, I see: v
[19:20:36] <Bytram> THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
[19:20:36] <Bytram> CENTER AT 400 PM CDT.
[19:20:59] <Bytram> but at the very very bottom, I see: "Last Updated: 1058 AM EDT MON AUG 28 2017"
[19:21:53] <Bytram> for future reference, the data on that page: "SELECTED STORM TOTAL RAINFALL IN INCHES FROM 800 PM CDT THU AUG
[19:21:54] <Bytram> 24 THROUGH 900 AM CDT MON AUG 28"
[19:22:04] <Bytram> okay, laters!
