NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:13 PM AKDT on April 28, 2016
...Heavy rain and strong winds to impact the Panhandle this
weekend...
A stream of subtropical moisture spreading into the Panhandle will
result in heavy rainfall over much of the area Saturday through
Monday. While it is too early to determine the area of heaviest
rainfall...most areas are expected to receive at least 3 inches of
rain. Current water levels are low on streams and rivers across
the Panhandle but significant rises are anticipated with this type
of rainfall. The flood threat will continue to be monitored
throughout the week and into the weekend.
Additionally strong winds will also accompany this weather system
with winds expected to reach storm force of 50 kt over the
northern Gulf on Saturday. Gusty winds can also be expected over
the Inner Channels and surrounding land areas this weekend.
This statement will be updated by 6 am akdt Friday or sooner if
conditions warrant.

- They finally had the courage to act and stand-up for
the rights of the passengers who are the
ones actually paying the tax; it added in
effect a tax just to enter the CBJ by ship
as if we were a foreign country because of
the way they spent (and want to spend) much
of the money. It would be the equivalent
of taxing airline passengers for sidewalks
downtown, the Juneau-Douglas City Museum
(which was/is getting head tax money), and
all the other non-port and dock things the
City has spent the head tax money on. It
should have been challenged in court many
years ago, but they finally acted after the
CBJ pushed the envelope too far with the
$10 million dollar seawalk and artificial
island going to "Bridge Park",
and adding fill to expand the area for the
park, plus the money preparing "Bridge
Park" for the Whale sculpture.

- "Shabby" AKA known as the real world; their cars need
to adapt, not the whole world to their poorly
performing "self-driving" cars
which haven't even been tried yet in rain
and snow, gravel roads, mud on the pavement,
construction zones, etc.. Lane markings can
wear away over the course of the winter,
let alone snow and ice covering them. In
Juneau I know hot-applied thermoplastic,
cold-applied thermoplastic, reflective recessed
snow plowable pavement markers, and paint
based (don't know what types) markings have
all been used with little long-term success
for any of them because of normal wear-and-tear,
snowplows, studded tires, and sand-gravel
spread on the roads. Maybe an embedded wire
or periodic metallic embedments in the pavement
or base or sub-base might work for their
cars? But... how to distinguish those from
all the other cables, conduits, drainage
pipes, water and sewer lines, etc.? One could
inject some sort of signal into continuous
wires, or a passive RFID type system could
be in the embedment(s). In the end someone
has to pay for the wires or embedments, equipment,
and the operation and maintenance of the
whole system.

A Bald Eagle is squealing.
- Can you envision these things buzzing overhead going
every which way? The present use of airspace
can be annoying enough at times as it is.
How about it being law that if they accidentally
drop a package on my property it's mine?
How about a "royalty" payment by
law that is a percentage of package value
paid proportionately to each landowner for
the amount of time it passes over each piece
of private property?
- I'm Not Your Buddy Guy •an hour ago
I am not some internet tough guy who is going
to brag about how he's going to shoot down
drones (I'm not, it's illegal). I am concerned
though that the FAA is arbitrarily deciding
to allocate property rights which have historically
been mine -- the airspace over my property--
to someone else for commercial reasons. I'm
also concerned about the right to privacy
and my "pursuit of happiness" being
abridged -- basically the 99.97% of Americans
who are uncomfortable with things flying
immediately over their heads and who don't
want it. Where are our rights? The government
bans smoking and noises because they are
a nuisance, what about the right to sit in
my yard or walk down the street and not be
harassed by a drone?
RedCoatYankee •2 hours ago
Time to invent a localized directional-EMP
to make them drop out of the sky over your
property ... and not have to shoot them like
a clay-pigeon. These things should simply
be illegal. End of story. Just because the
news media wants to invade everyone's privacy,
does not create a social imperative to allow
the exploitation of these devices this way.
The entitlement of the press should be curbed
... it _isn't_ 'news' when it's happening
in the privacy of our homes. Frankly, I'm
sick of "freedom of the press"
- which exists to ensure freedom of _political_
speech - being abused and misused just to
harass the public and invent salacious garbage
for tabloid consumption. Freedom of the Press
and Freedom of Speech was, and is, designed
to prevent government institutions from targeting
dissenting citizens with retaliatory actions,
to ensure we have the right to make political
comment as we see fit - it is _not_ for spying
on private citizens and muck-raking.
