Bell peppers making it spicy!?
Tell me you’re a Brit without telling me you’re a Brit. 🤣
To some Brits even black pepper is too spicy lol
Facts, I was going to make a comment along these lines
👍😜😂
Bro really thinks i'm British...
Yup, the Brits conquered the whole world for spices, then realized they hate ALL of them…
Bell peppers...spicy? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Most British thing I've heard today, Uh...no! It's the seasonings you add.
I had friends who swore that bell peppers are hot. I think it is due to their sensitivity to the food chemicals.
🤭I caught that too😂😂😂 like Awww Bless His Heart🤗
The bell pepper has a score of zero on the Scoville scale. A zero score means that isn't any heat from a bell pepper.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
@@RoseNZiegthey were probably allergic to them.
Louis might not know what a bell pepper is, because in England they are called capsicums. He just heard pepper and thought spicy.
A nor'easter is basically a winter hurricane. Only difference is that it can snow or freezing rain that can ruin our power lines.
He/she is right it is a somewhat winter hurricane on the east coast. It could be extremely devastating depending where it hits
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining that. ❤
You also get a chance to experience snow thundah in a nor’eastah.
@@WilliamSanderson86its actually named because the wind from them comes from the Northeast when they make landfall on the new england coast
😂We do have Easter here. 🐰 the NorEaster bunny brings 🫑bell peppers for the Gumbo
😂😉👍
🤣🤣
Careful, you'll confuse the poor guy!
Don't you mean the Nor'Easter Javelina?
Bleachers are at middle schools, high schools, and local parks if they have soccer fields and baseball diamonds.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing bleachers are everywhere. Even at professional sports venues. The Cubs have bleachers.
i remember in elementary school when my friends and i were all sitting at the top off a two layered bleachers and we leaned back and the entire thing tipped over 😭
And there are bleachers at the Rose Parade.
Doesn't Wembley Stadium have bleachers?
Basketball gyms in high school and middle school have bleachers.
A bell pepper makes it spicy? You truly are a Brit
Back in the last century, you made Chex mix at home. Chex cereal comes in rice, corn, and wheat. You mix those 3 together with nuts, small pretzels, and other small crunchy things you like. In your bowl, then toss with seasonings of your choice, and bake for just a few minutes to get browned. That's it. Now you can buy it pre-made in a bag, but it used to be a standard for cocktail parties in a home, every family knew how to make it.
Muddy Buddies. 😋
We make it during the holidays. Store bought isn't nearly as good as homemade.
My daddy added wourcestershire sauce, butter and a touch of Dijon mustard
I still do sometimes

"You Don't Have Easter In America, Right?"
Yes, Lewis, we do celebrate Easter in the US
What Laurence was talking about with a Nor'Easter is that it's a storm system that predominantly affects Northeastern US
I got a good laugh. Yes, Lewis we have Easter! Nor’easter is also a blizzard type snowfall that is in the upper North East of the country. Place like Boston, New York, & especially Buffalo New York. The Nor’easter can dump up to more than a foot of rain or snow in one storm!
I was living in New Hampshire and we got 3 feet of snow from a nor'easter!
@@caseyfloridaI’m from Upstate New York, Watertown to be exact. Buffalo gets lake effect snow from Lakes Erie and Ontario, coming from the west, northwest or north. I’ve never heard of a nor’easter hitting Buffalo or Watertown.
I am just south of Buffalo, and here is another word for Lelwis..."Snow Belt". Let him think about that for awhile. There are a lot of names they use in the weather department. Bell peppers are more on the sweet side. Try some hot peppers. Well may be you shouldn't Lewis, I made some salsa the other day and had to wear gloves to make it, It is very hot! I had a few different peppers in it. Also made some horseradish, and that you have to make outside. You sure don't want to breath that in while making it.
East and Easter are related words. Easter is named after the pagan goddess Ostera or Eostre and it all relates to the sun rising in the east.
When I was a kid they didn't sell Chex Mix. It came as a recipe on the side panel of Chex cereals. You made it at home for parties etc.
Worstechire is the secret ingredient. Delicious.
And it’s still my preferred snack food, either way. My mother put peanuts in hers, which the packaged version lacks.
Yep, and pretzels ruin a proper Chex Mix.
DUDE! I hope you're joking. Easter is Easter all over the world. A NOR'EASTER has nothing to do with Easter. That's a weather condition, LOL! It's a extratropical cyclone that is called that because it travels in a north eastern direction.
No the bell peppers aren't making the gumbo spicy. Bell peppers are a mild pepper. It's the other spices used that can make it spicy like cayenne pepper.
Bell peppers have flavor but are not spicy.
What do you call seats in a stadium? We'd call them "bleachers," as in, "He hit the baseball into the bleachers!" But more typically, if you say "bleachers," it's the wooden (in basketball courts) or metal (outside for football/baseball) used in high school sports. If you see a movie of teens in the '80s, and the entire student body is sitting in seats in gym, they're sitting on wooden bleachers (which collapse back into themselves if you need the room).
The stands
Biggest laugh I had all day, thank you. "Spicy because of the bell pepper." But Lew does like jalapenos.
I'd like to see how Lew reacts when he eats an habanero.
Hahahaha - confusion about nor'easter and Easter. Nor'easter was shortened from northeaster, it's a northeastern storm. :)
And you got derecho exactly right. It's a weather front with straightline winds. The front can be miles and miles wide, and all along it, the winds are super strong, blowing in the direction the front is moving.
I can say from personal experience that a derecho is a terrifying thing to see coming your way. I was coming home from work late back in 2012, and as I neared the house, I could see just a ruler-straight line of black clouds off to the north/northwest. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. As soon I as I got home we started securing everything we could, and the winds came shortly after. I remember watching our front door bowing inward as each wind gust pressed against it. The winds were so strong they forced rainwater between the weather sealing and our door, making a small puddle in our foyer. I fully expected the door to break open at any moment.
Trees down everywhere, power was restored to our house a full week later. People were driving to a local shopping mall that had power in order to charge their cell phones.
I.e. That ORIGINATES in the North East
not only can a derecho be many, many miles wide, it can also sweep across hundreds of miles of the country
It's not about the holiday of Easter. It's about directions north east.
I’m like, just listen for a minute; Lawrence is trying to explain. I 💙L3WG and Lost in the Pond.
Javalina is a Spanish word so the "J" makes an "H" sound. So it's pronounced "have-a-leana". They a very dangerous wild hogs.
Also, contrary to popular belief those little things can run and their snouts can really do some damage to you.
Folks in Big Bend National Park, Texas have been feeding them in the campsite and now they'll walk right up to you. I don't like it. 😣
They're all over my dad's neighborhood in Arizona. I've found if you keep a good distance from them, they just give you the side-eye as you walk by. Unless you have a dog, in which case they flip out. They do not like anything remotely canine, it seems
I live in Tucson, AZ. Javelina are hog-like but are not of the pig family. They are Collared Peccary. They are social and live in families. It is common for them to roam the neighborhoods in search of food. Need to steer clear of them. If they feel threatened they will charge. They are my favorite desert animal.
My mama had a straight line wind storm hit her house here in Georgia a ten years back and it removed roof tiles, along with ripping her satellite dish and then finally, completely knocked down her six foot tall wooden privacy fence. She is a gardener and had been planting and caring for a huge number of flowers, trees and shrubs for 50 years. The fence flattened it all and she had to start over. I rushed over to her house as the storm was hitting to check on her because my father as away, and I found her standing in the wreckage of her garden…sobbing. It nearly broke my heart and hers. Today, she is 85 and has her yard looking beautiful again. I get my perseverance from her. Thanks, mama! 🥰
Slight correction: Bleachers are a thing at virtually any school baseball field, including elementary schools. Most indoor high school basketball courts also have them, usually in a form that folds out from the wall.
You'll also find bleachers at racetracks, minor league baseball fields, any American football field in Texas, and rodeo grounds.
Gumbo is from Creole origin in Louisiana. Who is notorious with having spice foods!
Wow! Lewis is on a roll today...Bell Peppers are spicy!! If Brits think Bell Peppers are spicy no wonder most of them find our food too hot!! How is he SO off base? Easter? LOL!!!
Gumbo may have bell peppers, but that's not the pepper the heat comes from. Depending on the recipe it may have paprika, cayenne, tobasco, or some combination of these. There may be others as well, since people like to create their own take on the dish.
The Easter in nor’easter has nothing to do with a holiday. It’s a shortening of the word northeaster as in a storm with winds coming from the Northeast.
We have a word for corn hole here in the US that has nothing to with that game we called bean bag toss 70 years ago when elementary school children were all playing it back then. Corn hole has traditionally referred to the unspeakable vice of the Greeks. .
Really? Where?
@@jannibal9273 I guarantee you that growing up here in South Texas, that's exactly what it meant. That's why where I hear people saying they're playing "cornhole", I do a double take.
Ahh cornholio!
I'm in Canada and only until a few years ago Cornhole was called bean bag toss.
@eileenpaul4411
Mom sewed up the bean bags for us. My brother was already in school at the time where it was an intramural competition of sorts there. I was only 5 at the time.
Why anyone would call it corn hole is a mystery. Either amazingly ignorant or an inside joke played on the public
Nothing to do with “Easter” religious observance.
…as he said, it’s a weather event in the northeast and can move inland sometimes.
A nor’easter is basically a storm that blows in against the normal air currents as it normally blows in from the south west
Gumbo might be spicy but that has nothing to do with bell peppers. Tornadoes are not straight line winds.
@l3wg it was definitely not bell peppers making it spice. They have 0 spice lol
Cornhole was made to be a more portable game of horseshoes.
A game similar to corn hole we had was Washers (pronounced Warshers in TX). Where people tossed round metal washers into holes.
We buried lidless tuna cans, flush with the ground, for the holes.
Texan here. But back in the 60s and 70s, actual horseshoes was still a popular game. I played a lot in Jr high. I don't know if people throw horseshoes today.
@@AtomicSquirrelHunterThey still do in PA.
@@AtomicSquirrelHunter
We're digging in a horseshoe pit in our backyard as a fun past time for us and any guests who come over.
Horseshoes are indeed still a thing here in Washington State, as even some parks have designated horseshoe pits; like Alderbrook and Crown Park off the top of my head. (My personal experience is that usually the smaller or older towns have them. I'd think that there are more horseshoe pits in the Eastern part of the state than the Western, but I have found them in both.)
It'd be interesting to see if states with a higher number of horse owners also have a higher percentage of people playing horseshoes. (I would think they would, since it's a fun way to use those old horseshoes.)
derecho means straight in spanish.... the nor-easter looks like a hurricane brewing on the north eastern coast that will come inland and damage your housing.
Also means right
@@DLRTraynorCoberly thats derecha
@@jesuscamou602 I am also correct. Look it up. It also has many other meanings.
@@DLRTraynorCoberly yeah it means "right" as in human rights, or right as correct, yeah almost every single word in every language was multiple meaning, thought you ment it was right as the directional right.
Lol this kid is cooked 😂🤣😂
The whole world has Easter, though it’s celebrated differently around the world. It’s celebrating Jesus Christ rising from the dead.
❤
Huh? The whole Christian world has it. The other 6 billion people on the planet don’t.
I need to say, I HAVE to say? "Derecho" is a word I am learning for the first time in my life! Thank you, Lawrence who emigrated from the UK to the USA!!!
Maybe you just don't live where they have them.
Thanks for the kicks and giggles 🤭 Lewis!! It’s been kind of a difficult day and you really made us laugh when we needed it most!!!♥️🤭
thank you soooo much for the $20!!! glad i can help in anyway, thanks for watching:)
Are you sure you went to university and not dreamed it.😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Chex mix was originally something you did make at home, you can still find DIY recipes and videos for making it. It became so popular that the makers of Chex cereal started making and bagging it.
A NOR'EASTER is essentially a strong, hurricane-like storm that generally affects the northeastern US and Canada. The winds generally come in from a northeasterly direction, thus the name.
Yes and the home-made version is still far better than the bagged version. The recipe used to be on bags of Chex cereal (I'm not sure if always or just around the holidays when the mix was most popular--we always had bowls of it sitting around at Christmas).
1Nor'easter refers to a horrifice storm...usually snow. And it's wicked amounts of snow. One year, we couldn't get the doors open to clear.
We had a derecho hit here two months ago that knocked out power to 220,000 people and the tree damage was nasty.
That Iowa derecho started about 10 miles west of me in Nebraska and the winds hit my house at 90 mph before it tore Iowa up.
They're as damaging as an F1/F2 tornado can be. We had a couple hit in Wisconsin in consecutive years in the mid to late 1990s and it was scary as all get out. I'd lived in my house at the time for more than 20 years and went through many tornado warnings and never had any damage, but a derecho that came through in 1998 scared the BLEEP out of me! I was lucky. I only had a power line taken down by a huge branch that blew off one of my trees in the backyard. Other people had very large trees entirely toppled over in their yard and over their houses. Back then the weather reports didn't call them derechos, they were just called straight line winds. In many places in Wisconsin they topped 100 mph.
Bleachers are also in some older baseball stadiums such as Fenway Park. They used to be the Cheap Seats in the 70s and 80s.
No shade so the sun would bleach your bones.
We still have bleachers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but now we're under a dome that can be closed in case of rain. But before the current stadium was built, I recall roasting my butt of on Easter Sunday 1987 with my two brothers and a bunch of their buddies and their wives. It was a game to remember forever!!!!
Nor’easter has nothing to do with the holiday Easter. It’s short for “North Eastern” Storm. It’s a huge cyclonic storm. Yes, the US celebrates Easter too. 🐰
I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and during the derecho we had a few years back car windows busted, houses lost their roofs, took out more then half of the city’s canopy, took out power lines, a lot of us were without power for weeks! Farms were destroyed crops, buildings and silos! It was scary and sad but, cool thing to watch(I love storms, I’m the one standing outside while the tornado warnings are going off. Just to see if I can see it)!!
Javelinas are peccaries which look like wild pigs, They get their name from their razor sharp Tusci’s and can rip holes in you. They are good BBQ though.
Nor’easter is a collision of weather fronts that creates extremely dangerous winter weather conditions for the Northeastern US. You won’t hear about a nor’easter in summer. That would be a hurricane, which is of tropical origins.
Actually, it's not called a nor-easter because they typically occur in the Northeastern US but because the most intense wind direction is from the northeast due to the fact that if you sit a low pressure core off the coast with its counter-clockwise wind rotation, as the system approaches the wind direction ashore will be from the northeast. As the system passes, the wind will shift to the north and then northwest as it dies away.
Its a hurricane that hits the northeast in the winter .
The 8 most common peppers in order of Pungency 1. Bell peppers 2. Sweet peppers 3. Santa Fe peppers. 4. Jalapenos 5. Panama peppers 6. Thai peppers 7. Habaneros 8. Japanese ghost peppers.
A nor'easter is named for the direction of the winds that blow over the East Coast of North America, typically from the northeast. It has nothing at all to do with chocolate bunnies.
"Bleachers" are common on all sports fields, from public parks, through elementary school to high school fields, not just college sports fields. The space between the seating planks (open to cut construction costs and to provide ventilation during hot weather) is the reason for the grade-school joke, "Where's Seymour Butz? Under the bleachers!"
Bleacher seats are common in every major stadium in the United States - they're the "cheap seats" if you want to put it that way, especially for baseball and football games in outdoor and under a movable dome stadiums. In more local playing fields, outdoor bleachers are the standard form of seating.
Bell peppers = spicy? Clearly you've never had anything spicier than a peanut, unless you call all peppers "bell peppers" in which case; jalapenos, habaneros, carolina reapers, trinidad moruga scorpion peppers, etc. would like to tell you that they have way more capsaicin in them causing them to measure higher on the scoville scale than bell peppers; also nor'easter is a shortened way of sayinf "northeastern"
We also have bleachers for middle and highschool sports on an off subject, I love your videos to see your reaction
Lol, no, it's not the bell peppers that make it spicy. You call those paprikas in the UK. When you cook them off, they release a vegetal sweetness similar to carrots. What makes gumbo spicy is the cayenne and chili powder added to it, and in some cases, Guinea grain, a hot pepper native to western Africa that some people have manage to cultivate in raised gardens in the bayou.
Bleachers can be found anywhere that someone can play sports. You could see them at the park, in high schools, elementary schools...etc. It's not just a college thing.
"Different versions of Easter" had me fucking CACKLING 😂 Istg, Lew, you crack me up 😆😆
"And here is where the confusion occurs. There are some spicy chili peppers that look like bell peppers. They are bell pepper hybrids, containing roots from both a bell and a hotter chili pepper. Because they look like bell peppers, it can come as a shock to eaters to discover a subtle warmth (or more) to the flavor."
A Nor'easter comes down from the Northeast with hurricane force winds, snow ice, and thunder. Its taken very seriously in New York, and other states along the coast. The last one I experienced dropped 19 inches of snow in 36 hours. We couldn't get out of the house because the doors were iced up.
Depending on when Easter is, it might be possible to have a Nor'Easter on Easter, lol as everyone else has said, it's similar to a hurricane but with snow. It can cause coastal flooding and erosion, loss of visibility if you are out in the storm, but mostly loss of electricity.
Most K-12 public school districts also have at least bleachers on the sports fields at high schools, and they're not uncommon at middle school fields, either.
The word "cornhole" mostly refers to the bean-bag game, these days, but it started out as a slang term for anal sex ("cornholing" someone).
The game is a much less expensive version of the game, "Horseshoes."
Chex Mix is a nicely savory and flavorful snack, but it's really dry and crumbly.
If you eat it with an open hole in your gums, it's *really difficult* to get it all out.
Bell Peppers aren't spicy; they're aromatic and retain a crispy texture even when cooked.
The sausage and hot sauce makes gumbo spicy, and it's basically the Cajun version of Bubble & Squeak -- it's all the leftovers thrown into a pot with the holy trinity, rice, and whatever meat you have sitting around that you need to use before it goes bad. 😁
If you want to see how bad a Nor'easter can be, watch the film "The Perfect Storm," starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.
In America, Easter is Kristin Chenoweth. 😊
Yes, we do celebrate Easter here in America. "Nor'easter" is simply short for a storm that comes from the northeast. 😄
Fun fact, airboats are also used in the far north lake country. It's the best way to get to islands as a lake freezes and is too icey to take a regular boat in but too soft to dive on.
Everything is a thing in the USA. It is a rather large place. I never met a reasonably medium sized wild porcine I didn't get along with (but, we have far, far bigger, and more dangerous ones). Nor'easters are a hell of a lot more terrifying than pigs, of any size.
Yes, we have Easter in America 🤣
5:35 If I'm remembering correctly they didn't say it was spicy, they said that it was heavily spiced. Spicy =/= Spiced.
Derecho is an inland hurricane. The 2020 Derecho that Lawrence talked about, my city was the hardest hit in the storm path. We lost 60% of the trees in our city. We had no power for 2 1/2 weeks in the middle of August. Chainsaws and generators were sold out everywhere. We had no warning to prepare for this storm. Almost every house in my city suffered damage, there are still some properties 4 years later that are still needing repair. Our local airport recorded winds of 145 mph. It was awful and I hope it never happens again, but let me tell you, the support from every person was amazing, no one was left to handle this on their own. It took the city 2 1/2 years to finish the removal of all the downed trees. There is a great video out there done by one of the metrologist from our city.
Not only does a dorecho have strong wind, the rain coming down is like standing under a waterfall. Just a neverending bucket of water.
In the southwest deserts, some derechos are nearly dry but the wind can kick up an amazing amount of dust. Oddly, the video doesn't have any footage of one with their classic cloud patterns but the still photo to lure you to watch the video does.
It's the cayenne pepper, paprika, and black pepper that gives the mild heat to gumbo. Bell peppers just add flavor.
I lived that Iowa derecho. It was insanity. Everything - wind, rain, barbecue grills, bicycles, bushes, - moved horizontally and you could see trees snapping off for blocks. I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. We did not have electricity for more than a week. Gasoline was impossible to come by and necessities were extremely scarce. I hope I never never have to live that again.
Gumbo doesn't have to be spicy to be considered gumbo but it most often is. Most folks use anduoille (pronounced ahn-do-ee) sausage in it which is far spicier than the bell pepper. And, of course, people spice it up further with everything from Tabasco to any number of other hot sauces or spicier peppers.
Bleachers are really more common at high schools or small colleges. The larger universities with the really big stadiums have what we call stadium seating so everyone has a seat. You want to make sure you've got a good supply of queso and salsa when the forecast calls for nacho rain.
We also have bleachers at high school fields as well. Frequently for indoor basketball, they can be pushed back to the wall.
Bell Peppers have 0 capsaicin oil & are sometimes called sweet peppers, so they are not even mildly spicy.
A nor'easter is short for NorthEastern, and yes, it refers to some wicked storms that the northeastern part of the US gets. It has nothing to do with Easter, which is the same as England, filled with chocolate, bunnies, and the celebration for Christians for the resurrection of Christ. - Dude, bell peppers are spicy??? LOL. I love watching your channel!
Nor'easter is short for Northeastern, has nothing whatsoever with Easter. Our northern east coast states get extremely cold with a lot of snow and ice that circles like a hurricane.
Bleachers are not just used in colleges; depending on the size of the school; if they have a gymnasium, there are probably bleachers in the gymnasium
Bleachers are in every public school I ever attended, inside the gymnasium. They are far more common than Laurence indicates.
Nor’easter is slang for “North Easter”, which are strong storms with winds coming from the northeast that can damage property and cause power outages. It’s really bad if you’re on the ocean when one kicks up.
Try Muddy Buddies: Chex, peanut butter and chocolate with confectioners sugar (aka icing sugar, 10x sugar or powdered sugar). Sooo goood 😋🍽️
We have Easter in America. Nor easter Is basically just short for A large Eastern storm moving North. We also call them tropical storms, which is a pre.Cursor to a hurricane
Jabalina is how its sounded.
Mmmm no it's pronounced Havalina. The J is pronounced as H. Hispanic pronunciation. 4:58
Nor’Easter is a “gale from the northeast.” An otherwise normal storm that travels across,the area going east…however…when it gets out over the ocean it whips around, picks up lots of moisture, and comes back like a whiplash…crashing into the coast coming down from the northeast. Yes,..kind of like a Hurricane. In the cold weather it is usually a devastating blizzard.
Lewis, he's underselling bleachers. They're not only found in college stadiums, but the professional and high school levels as well.
If you want to pronounce javelina in good Spanish, thereby amazing your friends and family, it's hah-veh-LEE-nuh, and derecho = deh-RAY-choh. You may have noticed that Laurence mispronounced syllable #3 as 'show'. This is a Spanish word, but it's the French who pronounce 'ch' as 'sh'. No charge!😀
Related to airboats are swamp buggies, which are also fun.
Because there's the syllable "nor-" at the beginning, Nor'easter has absolutely no connection with Easter. It, rather, is a wind coming out of the northeast--a direction, not a holiday.
Having lived through several Nor'Easters, I will tell you this.
It's a hurricane off the coastline of the northeastern states. Happens only in the winter. Tons upon tons of snow, wind, sometimes lightning (which is incredibly rare in winter), sleet, freezing rain (another joy up here), and STILL doesn't stop the world.
Now, freezing rain. It's rain, that is a liquid as it falls, that freezes on contact with any surface. Trees (that might break due to the weight), cars, sidewalks, roads... you, if you happen to get caught in it. Sleet, however, is a little different. It's rain, that falls, but freezes on it's way down. Hits everything like a small pellet. Some would call it 'snow that bounces'.
When there is a nor’easter, the wind / travel path of the storm usually comes from the southwest and goes north east. (Nor’easter is an abbreviation for north eastern). Inevitably these storms drop a lot of snow I remember one where we got like 30 inches in one storm.
"Nor'easter" comes from "Northeast." It's a cyclonic storm that often skirts the east coast of the United States during the winter as it travels Northeast. The winds aren't generally strong enough for it to be considered a hurricane (there's not enough warmth in the Northern Atlantic during the winter to generate that kind of energy). Often it's big effect is a really large snowfall in the Northeastern part of the country.
A nor'easter occurs only in the north eastern US. When a hurricane (you HAVE heard of them, haven't you?) gets out of tropical waters and travels up the east coast it becomes a nor'easter with damaging surf, high tides and strong winds.
Cajun food often contains Louisiana hot sauce like Tabasco. Bell peppers only give you gas.
on the west coast, we cal our ocean storms "Pineapple Express" because the wind starts in Hawaii and picks up speed and water all the way across the ocean to us. peak winds are typically reported at around 125 MPH, mainly because that's the speed at which home weather stations break.
Did he cover Waterspout yet ? It's a tornado in the Ocean it can be half in the air and half in the Ocean.i seen a few in the Bay between Miami and Miami Beach
Hi Lewis, here is another word for you..."Snow Belt" We get lots of those in the winter. I am a little south of Buffalo, N.Y. Many people even though they have heard the word, still don't get it unless they go in and out of it. It can be narrow or wide. The most snow we have had was over 200 inches in one winter.
Bell peppers making something spicy legit made me LOL
"Derecho" is the Spanish word for "straight," so it makes sense that it refers to a straight-line storm.
Air boats are a lot of fun but they are sooooo loud. Headphones are a must...noise canceling are the best. Derecho is a spanish word for straight line winds. Derecho is a new term that's been used this year for whatever reason. It's like calling a Huricane a Typhoon which is something not done in the US.
Originally Chex Mix was a savory snack, NOW it is sweet/savory, sweet/hot, hot/savory, savory. It is made of Chex cereal, with accoutrements.
I've never heard the word deretcho before today
Nor'easter is a contraction of North Easter, meaning a winter hurricane that hits the Northeastern seacoast. Remember that most hurricanes make landfall on Florida, the Caribbean islands & the Gulf Coast (Florida to Texas) & causes major floods & tornadoes, not ice storms coating everything with ice.
"Nor'easter" is inspired by centuries-old British sailing lingo/slang. "North" and "south" were often pronounced without their "-th" when referring to compass headings. "Nor'east", "sou'west", etc, were daily vernacular aboard old sailing ships.
"Nor'easter" simply translates to "northeaster", meaning "from the northeast", and referring to the abnormal direction from which the wind is coming. Our prevailing winds in the US *generally* come out of the west. Our east coast states generally get their wind coming off the continent and out to sea. A nor'easter, due to its counterclockwise rotation (it's essentially a cold-weather typhoon), brings warmer ocean air ashore into colder, drier continental air and causes blizzard conditions. If the onshore air is warm enough, it's heavy, hurricane-like rains instead of a blizzard. But in either case, the winds are strong and unforgiving. These storms can do a lot of damage when they occur.
Derecho = basically a land hurricane. The 2020 storm had winds approaching a category 4 hurricane. This year, we "only" had a category 1.
The British need to learn their compass, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST & WEST. Nor-Easter IS NOT the holiday EASTER. EAST IS NOT a holiday, nor is Sou-Wester
From Iowa here & the Derecho in 2020 has been described as a Land hurricane when it happened. They don't happen very often & can cause even worse damage than a tornado.
I’m originally from Georgia and we also eat gumbo, but it is tomato-based with okra and seafood. Louisiana Creole gumbo has a brown base and often will have seafood and/or Andouille sausage added. Both taste completely different but are so yummy. 🤤
so Chex mix is a corporate version of "trail mix". Javelinas are sometimes also called "peccary. A nor'easter is a weather system that can come in as a storm but also a blizzard.
Big surprise Americans: the Brit thinks bell peppers are spicy🤣🤣🤣
