Hurricane Milton

[Buttigieg2020]

But I thought da BIG BAD GUBMINT WEATHER CONTROL MACHINES existed to murder white people so they could fill the mountains with cat-eating black people? Why would they hurt poor Mexican PoCs like this? I didn't know they'd go that far just to kill a theoretically white person like Ralph.

Well it’s in our best interest as humanitarians to offer the people of Yucatán asylum in America to escape the devastation. We can use the money we save on social security from dead Florida boomers to feed them.

How do you name your hurricanes?

Is it the strongest hurricane gets lamest name as a punishment?

Rotating alphabetical list with particularly historic/damaging storms having their names retired

You know, somewhere the Sharknado guys are looking at this, looking at the gators, and furiously writing a script.

Ever heard of the movie Crawl?

My family in Florida aren‘t evacuating. Dad is near Naples and said he just helped put on shutters for his neighbors (they’re all elderly). He proceeded to go on a rant about government weather control and that climate change is engineered by the government so we surrender to trans humanism and digital ID. . How screwed are the areas south of Tampa?

Personally, if there was still time I would send him this:

Hurricane names get retired as they make history. For example, hurricane Michael hit hard in 2018 and the name was retired. Basically, there are only so many serious names that can be used before they run out.

I'm with a lot of you, I genuinely think they can control it, they just won't until they have to admit they can.

Hearing about people flooding Helene's path with expired shit and useless, broken or nonsensical have been fascinating. Milton is going to be much worse.

Floridian on the west coast but well out of the mandatory evac zones.

If you're choosing to stay in a mandatory evacuation zone, you're a retard. If you're not in a mandatory evacuation zone and you're on the road and keeping people who need to evacuate from effectively doing so, you're also a retard and an asshole to boot. These zones are very conservative. If you're not in a mandatory evacuation zone, your house will (very likely) not fill up with feet of water or blow from its foundation. Floridians inland should be more concerned about falling limbs due to the winds bonking your roof or car, or losing power/water for days/weeks. The silver lining is that cooler weather is predicted after the hurricane passes, so you might not cook in your home with no AC.

I missed this, but i want to add that while sort of true there's two things to consider. One is that in NE FL at least there's a stupendously good amount of civil planning around drainage. I've seldom in the times I've been in the area during such storms ever seen it actually 'flood' like in other states, don't really know about Tampa or south of it though. The second is that the more accurate comparison is a sponge. I'm not sure and tbh I probably should look into it considering... you know... but sinkholes and such are probably more of a danger in some areas than flooding given how most of the state is porous limestone.

South/Downtown Tampa streets become impassible for all but the bravest Jeeps and lifted trucks after a couple hours of heavy rainfall. Those areas will be lakes. That said, they tend to be almost entirely drained off within 48 hours.

That's why they're putting in ghetto names into the storm list. They got "Deshawn" and "Tayshaun" in the list now. Watch out my niggaz Hurricane Deshawn's comin to wreck yo shiiet whiteboiz!

The X Files episode, Agua Mala is excellent to watch as you ride out the hurricane.

There isn't anywhere to go if you haven't left yet. The entire bay area was gridlocked for the past day. The only thing to do is to drive to another part of the state that MIGHT get a lesser effect, but the eye could land anywhere from Cedar Key to Fort Myers. The hotels are already full on the east coast, over in most of Gerogia, and south to Miami. Even south will have extra water coming in. The entire area is spooked, Helene was terrible but a damn good warning for everyone else in the state.

Personally I would consider getting on a bike, but unfortunately there's not really "higher ground" in Florida. Inland away from rivers and canals is safer though. I'm a weirdo have a bunch of gear though, normal people are quite likely screwed.

 

[LiveFromNS]

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

Highly doubtful. Track isn't typical to bring it here, we usually get the ones that come up from the mid-Atlantic and hug the eastern seaboard.

If in the unlikely event it does come towards NS, it certainly will not be powerful. Dorian was in the first week of September. Its getting much colder here now so the water temps would definitely reduce the strength if it gets anywhere near here.

So yeah, I think NS will be spared any major calamity as a result of this one. It looks like after it goes through FLA it will be off the eastern coast and categorized as a TS. It will be interesting to see what happens to it after it gets back into the Atlantic:

What will happen then, will it turn back towards mainland, will it gain strength again or just fizzle out?

Here's the entire list up to 2029!

In 2030 they'll use 2024's list again, except they'll swap out whatever names get retired from this season. Beryl, Helene, and now Milton are almost certain to be retired after this year, and they'll just replace it with whatever other names.

Some of them don't get retired, so they get used multiple times. There's been 10 different storms named "Arlene", for instance! So yeah, 2024's list will be used in 2030, 2025's list will be reused in 2031, and so on and so forth.

It's excellent to watch in general. It has a great authentic Florida Man.

"Hurricane Chantal" sounds terrifying

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

Almost nobody is giving a fuck about NC already so thank God Tampa can steal some more thunder.

My prediction is another media blackout, where the networks rerun old footage from first landfall for hours. Absolutely no Jim Cantore hyperventilating in a street. The same way nobody ever dies at Disneyland, there will be no major natural disasters at the end of Joe Biden's administration.

Dexter is on the list for 2025.

Dee Dee has about a year to get out of that laboratory.

 

[Darkholme's Dungeon]

I hope it doesn't hit Tampa, I like being alive and not having a tree in me.

Come northwest and get fucked by wildfires and smoke instead brother.

Spoiler: Lmao no we're full

Just make sure you have a week or two's worth of water and food in case things decide to go down there anyways.

TY for the advice. Southern Floridian here and i had no idea how to handle hurricanes before this advice.
