Pretty good windshear forecast for 2000’ AGL.

Make for a ‘fun’ climbout.

Earthquakes too! You butter the landing against a crosswind and BLAM! Runway runs away.

[Verginius Rufus]

Actually the name of the Tropical Storm is spelled with just one L. I’m not sure if it was named in honor of Hilary of Poitiers (c. 315-367) or Hilary of Arles (401-449)

[markman46]

Yep rain and ground shaking does not get any better then this

[libertylover]

You left off the altimeter setting. :)

[ifinnegan]

Yes. One L.

Luckily it’s no big deal so far and doesn’t look like it will be.

[cowboyusa]

Hurriquake! 5.5 Eartquake in LA.

[cowboyusa]

We ain’t seen nothing yet, and it ain’t Climate Change.

[know.your.why]

Pretty sure its Two-Niner..something.

[George from New England]

Like landing in Langoliers

[cowboyusa]

Tornado in San Deigo County.

[Army Air Corps]

Just wait for the Sharknado.
