Cyclone. Its a Category 4 at the moment, sustained winds near the centre of 175 km/h with wind gusts to 250 km/h.

Moving 20 km/h. It's offshore moving almost parallel to the coast. Forecast to be downgraded to category 3 tomorrow so this may be the worst of it unless it changes direction and heads towards the land.

I was looking at it when you posted about it and it looked like it was going to stay off the coast a bit. Fortunate, because it looked kinda nasty.

Yes, that's right and they don't usually go much further south so it'll die off.

I used to work in similar heat, where these are made.

I ran the machines that dipped them in enamel and hung them on the chain that was roughly 250°F (121°C) at the machines. Then they went through a dry box that was I believe around 600 degrees, then into a furnace around 1200°F or so. Both the dry box and over were open where the chain rack that the pans were on went through. That whole department was 120°F (about 50°C). At the chain it felt about 50° hotter. Break time in the winter, even well below freezing saw everyone outside, smokers and non-smokers, in shorts and t-shirts.

These were fun.

The pot was big enough to cook a small kangaroo in. And super heavy. After coating, they arrived upside down where the guy offloading them had to grab them by the lip, one handed, with custom made channellock pliers with prongs welded on them, turn them upside down as you turned to face the chain, and gently set them down on metal pointed tabs on the chain.

After doing that for a month you could crush bowling balls with one hand
