A picture of LeKukie's fully repaired roof

Source

For those who have been living under a rock (and to give the post more effort) Super Mario Bros. speedrunner LeKukie, who's aiming for an any% TAS tie, had the roof of his house blown off in a windstorm, of course impacting his life and his ability to attempt speedruns of the game. Fortunately, a GoFundMe was started that was able to pay for the damage, and actually exceeded its goal fourfold. To my knowledge this is the first post that shows the roof fully repaired.

So uh... why did give the name "Great Red Spot" to a random storm that is clearly not rotating?

Talk about famously-slabbed towns/cities but instead refer to lesser known tornadoes that have hit them

The Moore tornado will never be forgotten. That 1951 F2 really changed the city! Although I think El Reno is similarly iconic. I wonder what the people in the Budget Valley hotel thought when the brief EF3 struck the building back in 2019. Although we should give eastern tornadoes some love as well. Mayfield, Kentucky sure has experience in getting slabbed, because of that EF3 tornado that grazed the city during the May 7-10 2016 outbreak.

Messing with mare generation accidentally made a pretty good-looking eyeball planet

RS 9041-448-7-17890-785 7.2

Set mareFreq to 0.004864 and mareDensity to 0.6565

There once was a twister that traveled far east,

One so destructive they called it "The Beast"

Once it hit Mayfield it had a feast,

And it was a problem, to say the least

What do you think the buildingspeeds were based off of this wind damage?

A pretty big skyscraper building went through Cumuluscia a few days back, and its been given a preliminary FE-4 rating by the Structural Weather Service.

This was a well-built, barely-sheared wind that got almost entirely destroyed by the building, with some debris scattered. Significant cloud scouring is also visible. There was also a pretty powerful tensile signature by the building as it got near this specific windborhood where the subject was.

I'm wondering if, based off of the wind damage, could this have been an FE-5 building? One to break the 8-year drought?

So I've been testing reusability for a rocket's rather expensive first stage, but the main problem is how, even with the 10-meter heat shield and good reaction wheels, the stage begins to become uncontrollable deep enough in the atmosphere. In the end the craft survives re-entry, but I still don't like that this happens. I don't think my ascent profile wasn't too bad: The periapsis was 14 km from default 86.75 km orbit that menu cheat gives you.

Can I do something to stop the tumbling from happening? Should I just deal with the fact that the craft will spin uncontrollably but in the end withstand it?

Edit: 3.75m heat shield instead of 10m, swept wings at the bottom, 40-km periapsis. The tumbling still happens, but at a lower altitude and it's much tamer than what I had before. I can deal with that. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Last time we tried making the tornado's path, but it didn't work out. I was going to choose one reply to dictate the entire path, but apparently multiple ideas were being thrown around, so I thought it would be better to restart this part and allow the ideas of multiple replies to make the path instead!

Path

The tornado's starting location is Slabtown, Idaho. The ending location is Mt Vernon, Kentucky. Yes, the tornado will be traveling at least 1,700 miles between the two halves of the continental US.

Rules are that these shaded states dictate the boundaries the path must stay in. The tornado cannot travel outside of the shaded area.

As mentioned before, multiple replies will be used to make the path, and hopefully I'll be able to combine the majority of them into something grand. You can make a part of the path for an entire state, or just a part for a town the tornado will intercept, or just a part in the middle of nowhere. Generally, keep your path suggestions within one or two states.

There are no strict criteria for what replies are used this time around, I am eager to use all of them (as long as they don't break the rules!). Some path suggestions might overlap, some might need adjusting, some may, unfortunately, need to be discarded entirely, but the dream is that I can take them all and make one nice monstrosity.

The next part (for real this time) will be about time and date.
