The rotation around the eye is very rapid right now. I would be surprised if it's not a cat 5 currently.

Fatalities: 300,000 - 500,000
Bloody hell. It seemed every year when I was a kid a few hundred thousand Bangladeshis would die in flooding.
Imagine if the first Hypercane in recorded history ends up being named Milton.
Widedpread 50c sea temps is climate change masturbatory fantasy. Even the Cretaceous hot maximum didn’t have such temps - sea surface temps were still well under 40c. If the sea surface temps over any kind of area are 50c it’ll be due to something utterly catastrophic like a giant meteor boiling a bit of ocean off.
 
I've been lurking since I've created my account but I feel compelled to post as I'm intensely worried for my mom who lives just outside of Tampa. We've pleaded and yelled at her to head up towards Orlando which, while not that much better, is safer than direct 10+ ft flood zone. She refused to go with my grandparents who lived right around the corner from her up there for whatever God forsaken reason.

As any other floridaman, I tend to not get too fussed over hurricanes especially since I'm not currently in state. But my dad, family, and people in this thread helped smack me that this is just a different one to the usual and got me to call her, redoubling the efforts to make her see sense. Thank you guys for compiling info here. It's probably too late for her to evac now and she's hunkering out with a family friend further from the shore.

I hope my mom's gonna be ok. Sorry for the long blog post but I wanted to tell the fellow floridakiwis that are weathering this one out near St. Pete, Tampa, etc to stay safe and I'm hoping you guys will be ok too.

The eastern half of the U.S. has been getting hammered with event after event, when is the west coast due for their comeuppance? California is far too smug and snarky, LA deserves a good flood.
California got flooded really bad last year, after several years of drought.

How we feeling Central Floridachads? Just picked up my pub subs and a case of beer in case this colossal dork of a storm decides to throw hands. Wonder if Lake Eola will have any surfers in it this time around.

California also burns half to the ground every 6-8 months as well. They choke themselves and their neighbors out on smoke every year. They get Nature-Fucked ™️ plenty.

Only news source I trust.
Frankie is the kind of retard we all need in our lives. Completely harmless, overly caring and just wants you to be safe.
