Hurricane Milton

[Dean Pentel]

Hopefully we see some people treat the government response people with the same contempt the government has for them. That would be cool.

What “insurance crap?”

Hasn't Florida's entire insurance situation been in the toilet since he started office? With legislation that makes it harder to hold companies accountable if they aren't doing their jobs right?

UPDATE! Hurricane Milton has turned 90 degrees northwards and is now on the exact same track as Helene! North Carolina braces for another round of total destruction!

>i am kidding, but could you fuckin imagine? 2 in a row? I had 3 feet of water under my house for Helene. BRING IT ON! WOOOOOO

 

[1812 LOL]

Can this thing go to Nova Scotia like Dorian did? asking for a friend

I probably shouldn't admit this but you had me there for a second. Something about red letters and bold typefaces just make me believe things.

I'm paranoid about the models currently because of the crazy energy density and possible bad fit of some of the model parameterizations.

In theory I should have more confidence in a path some time tomorrow, but by then it would probably be too late. I only posted the Tampa scenario, but apply that same level of destruction to your location if you live anywhere near there at all on the coast, though Tampa is especially bad for storm surge.

Good joke, but honestly the entire coast of Florida facing the gulf of Mexico is suspect. I really don't like the smoothing situation here as I've said before.

Maybe building right up too the water isnt such good idea? It is when there is money to be made.

I blame Reagan

 

[Michael Wade]

Same with family that rode it out for Helene. Insisted that this time wasn't different despite the fact that THEY'RE AT THE EYE OF AN EVEN WORSE STORM. Fucking idiots, we've spent the entire day trying to convince them and they are insistent that it's just my poor mother being a nag again. Despite the evacuation orders. Despite the 10-15 feet of water predicted to hit them. Despite everything.

I totally understand the mentality. Nothing has ever happened for as long as people have lived so why worry? Unfortunately this is reminding me of that couple hundred year event tsunami that hit Japan and fucked it up

Same with some elderly people I know in Tampa Bay area. They've got generators and their house isn't in a flood zone (believe it or not), so they think they'll be fine.

But there's so much debris from the last hurricane everywhere, there will be previously chopped down tree trunks blowing through the air when Milton hits. There's wrecked house parts, fence parts and every other piece of dangerous garbage you can imagine. It will all be smashing into houses and cars soon.

Yes. There's still piles of limbs stacked up from the last storm that no one has come to get.

It doesn't snow.

Building right on the water can be safe and quite lovely to live there, but you have to have a home designed for hurricanes. All those boomer retirees living in trailers down there in Tampa are in for some serious shit. To survive a Cat 5 with no damage, you need 20 foot tall concrete pilings, really strong framing and connection points for the guts of the house, a proper design that doesn't catch wind and a proper roof with hurricane rated shingles, or metal, all of which is secured with steel cables and anchors. One notable example of this is the Sand Palace in Mexico Beach, they overbuilt the shit out of their house and check out how well it fared during Michael

I'm just here for the stapler talk.

 

[Cats]

Sure hope you all living there are okay.

 

[Dangerous Dude]

In Florida you can hear an angry voice booming in the distance... coming from the gulf...

WHAT ARE YAH DOIN' IN MY SWAMP?!?!?

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Sure hope you all living there are okay.

Except Ralph.

 

[Cats]

Except him yeah. He can slip and slide his fat ass around the eye of the storm in a circle

 

[whatever I feel like]

In the hurricane's defense, it might actually be fun. Don't pre-judge the storm before you meet it.
