up close and personal with the spiral rainbands of Hurricane Erin this morning aboard @royalcaribbeanintl.bsky.social's Wonder of the Seas. ~200 miles south of the eye, enduring gale force winds from SW, wave heights well over 15 feet

this was fun + horrifying to kayak on. In May the lying City of Dallas staff shed their skin via a FOIA request + shared the true leak rate at 1,005 gal per minute.

1,005 gpm ➡ 60K gal per hour ➡ 1.45 M gal per day ➡ 43.4 M gal per month ➡ 521 M gal per year ➡ 5.7 B gal over the 11-year leak.
