Mumblings around the office of being put on standby.

Last time we were on standby apparently from what i've been told was the storm we shall not speak of.

We have mobile eNB to roll out just in case some of the macro sites go under water.

Hopefully its just rumor at this point.

The major carriers have their own teams in place. If we get called out. Some hardcore shite went down.

Dude this is scary.

We have our emergency mgmt. (debris mgmt.) folks already mobilizing to the Corpus area. The word from folks in the know on infrastructure is that this is going to be off the charts devastating.

While we all like business doing well, not at the expense of something like this.

What are the steering currents looking like? What's guiding Harvey?

The sunday morning colored satelite image of Katrina, with it's textbook signature basically taking up the entire gulf, left me breathless. Out of breath, awed, hyperventilating, etc.

If there's nothing to impede the process like dry air stopping the condensation process or shear messing with organization, it's a pretty self sustaining process for intensification as long as their is enough deep warm water to provide energy content.

Convection is driven by density differences in air at different levels. Warmer air is less dense, moist air is also less dense. As the storm picks up water vapor, it condenses it. The latent heat of vaporization for water is massive, and the condensation process liberates that as heat. You can think about your AC system, where the outside is the condenser side that is really hot.

The heat released goes into the surrounding air, lowering it's density and increasing the upward pull. Thus you lower the pressure and more water vapor gets sucked in and the process continues.

Shallow water will eventually retard it, as it can't pull out enough water vapor to sustain the process. Dry air entrainment will too, as it allows some of the water to evaporate and cools the center (like your evaporator on the inside part of your AC). Shear will frick with the outflow path of the storm and not let it move the the old air out to make room to suck more air in, basically increasing the pressure.

Tl;dr: If the conditions are right, a storm will pretty much bomb out as much as the energy content of the water below it will allow.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the likelihood of it regaining strength when it "dips" back into the gulf after making landfall?

That image is what prompted me and my girlfriend to leave BR and head to North La.

Telecom - RAN

Edit: My core customer is TMO (T-Mobile) currently. Verizon is our second largest customer.

We develop and lay the actual network. They technically lease their towers from us.

(thats GSM/WCDMA/LTE/LTE-A)

So far its all rumors. Hopefully it stays that way.

if it gets into deep enough water it will strengthen a lot if not it will get some energy but prob wont regain hurricane status
