Hurricane Milton

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I think the most worrisome thing I've encountered is Jim Cantore and Reed Timmer at 0% energy for this one. Even in the face of EF5 tornadoes they still had that storm chaser excitement. To me, seeing them in that state, that's horrifying.
You know it's bad when even Reed isn't fucking with it.
 
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.
Jfc I didn’t realize that’s why there’s been so little kino from Helene. Makes perfect sense.
 
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but part of the shit show most people don't consider is the abrupt human migration experienced by the entire gulf coast. Any time someone murmurs the words mandatory evacuation, you are fucked. It's not just the flood of people migrating, it's the power company trucks choking the road and hotels for a week prior. Even if you're far from the storm, every city deploys every gigantic six wheel truck they have and a lot of them from WAY out of state as contractors. Every hotel is full, even the shit ones, traffic is up 400% and RIP store shelves, they disable the delivery of water, bread and dairy from Wal-Mart + during all of these things because people stockpile.

Examining extensive charts, I believe I've found the real victim / target in this weather charade.

ummmm wa wa bros.JPG

That's right, Trans-Women are disproportionately affected by storms of this magnitude.
 
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.
No scarlett? Fuck....
 
I don't generally pay attention to these sorts of issues since tornado's and the earth vibrating asunder is the go to method for god to kill me and my neighbors. Can someone give me a run down on why this is worthy of being put on the kiwi main page? Obviously I'm seeing people mention this can be the strongest in history but the trajectory seems to be like it's gonna lay pipe over florida and go right into the ocean so damage beyond god's wraith on floridians is going to be minimal yes? I'm inept in these issues due to my aforementioned preference for quakes and nado's. Thanks in advance.
 
The pythons will become more powerful.
You joke but that's why they are so plentiful. Hurricane Andrew was like the first domino in the python problem.

The storms will get worse and the snakes will get more resilient and robust.

That's a whole nother fascinating topic though. The snakes and shit in Florida. We like a few mild winters away from them sluts taking over the southern bits of gerogia and the Carolinas and shit. Fuck they still arguing wether or not green anacondas are breeding in the everglades.
 
It doesn't snow.
Some people like snow. And I reckon a lot of people would prefer snow over hurricanes.

If it’s any consolation, at some point eventually, San Francisco is going to collapse
Inshallah.

My house is covered in snails. They did not tell me I lived in a snail-congregation zone prior to my home purchase.
Move to the desert. No snails!

"Hurricane Chantal" sounds terrifying
Hopefully by then the OG Chantal will be 'retired'.

Obviously I'm seeing people mention this can be the strongest in history but the trajectory seems to be like it's gonna lay pipe over florida and go right into the ocean so damage beyond god's wraith on floridians is going to be minimal yes?
No, it's more likely going to destroy the central west coast of Florida. Absolutely the opposite of minimal.
