All you people sperging about the people posing in key west do realize that where that video is taken from is the absolute southernmost part of the continental united states right?

Shoutouts to greeen rainjacket man on the top righ-and he's gone. Seeing people mess around with the heavy waves is funny but also spooky because they could like die or whatever.

Someone just took a fucking selfie as I was typing this out... and then again after i screen grabbed. and again...

Key West is relatively safe. Has fuck all to do with getting hit by the storm. This is about as dangerous as taking selfies from Tallahassee right now. Calm down.

It's the fact they're doing it when waves are crashing into it and it's about to start flooding that's causing the reaction. Not the fact it's a tourist point.

I will not calm down, because I find this situation very funny!

No, I didn't realise that, American geography is not my strong point. However, I spent the first twenty years of my life being screamed at by various individuals, telling me to stay off the rocks in bad surf. The pavement here might not be rocks, but that's still a bad surf.
 
Saw someone post quite some time ago to fill bathtub with water so you have a supply (i was asleep when that was posted, so couldnt post until now). Please don't do that, unless you have some way to purify the water. Standing water is a great way to get some kind of sickness, as it will get contaminated fast.
If it is your only option, make sure you have a tarp or some kind of waterproof sheeting to cover it with to prevent dust and debris from settling on the surface. And if you don't have a purification method, do not use it for drinking, keep it for cleaning or such instead.
Also, make sure your food supplies are watertight too, and stored where they can be kept dry and away from pests, as there will probably be a lot of displaced pest animals after the storm (rats, mice, insects etc) that would love to eat your food as much as you would.
Dude, I would use my water heater or toilet RESERVOIR before filling my bathtub and using that.

General consensus for hurricanes is that.."fuck it let's have fun if we might die", so people take selfie.

There were people riding jet skies during harvey, it's just human nature to do stupid shit, even in the face of death
We all used to hit the waves right before a major storm, despite the terrifying rip currents and the fact that the choppiness made it almost not worth it.
 
There has been more global warming caused by clean air standards than carbon emissions. Go look up the clean air standards that have largely eliminated acid rain and corresponding sulfur emissions. Sulfur is a strong global coolant agent, stronger than carbon and on par with countering out methane
I remember reading about that. I don't want acid rain but yeah it kind of sucks that it warmed up the planet extra.
Hydrogen cars are also absolutely retarded since hydrogen is corrosive, extremely flammable, and isn't very dense so it literally slips through bigger molecules like the metals we make tanks out of. We already have the tech to make green energy cars, but we don't use it because the government wants to fuck us over. Yeah, it's ethanol vehicles, not just corn but cellulosic ethanol shit made from random-ass grasses that grow anywhere from Alaska to Florida.
Interesting, I didn't know the tech was that unreliable. Sounds like EVs but worse. I'll have to look into cellulosic ethanol cars.
A hurricane??? In florida?!?!?!?!?! Holy fuck this never happens, clearly this is because of climate change.... or chemtrails..... or both!
Climatetrails? :shit-eating:

they're probably drunk
Perhaps. Can't get pulled over for drunk driving if there's no cops and winds are making the cars shake anyways lmao.

Terminally online famers reeing about people taking pictures at a tourist spot far outside of harms way during a major world event is probably the second most retarded thing to come out of this thread after the Jewish weather control debate.
Clearly you aren't reading the actual posts.

my mom had stories of how when she was young her and her surf buddies always looked forward to hurricanes because it was basically the only time they'd get good waves

then go out after and catch some square grouper
 
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.
Good news: they got out.
Bad news: they still lived on the coast and none of their friends (who also live on the coast) are evacuating.
There are probably going to be a lot of funerals in their future, and they won't even have a house to stay at while they attend them.

Please stay safe, kiwis. If you're still near the worst of this storm, the only thing you can do anymore is hope and pray.
 
I keep seeing people drive back into tampa and sarasota on the traffic cams. Did they forget their dogs or wedding photos or some shit?
Some of them are probably people from outside the area retrieving others who dicked around or refused to evac earlier. The risk is running out of fuel on the round trip. Homie w/ a 900 mile range truck just got back from retrieving his octogenarian in-laws who were planning to ride it out until last evening. He topped up until the last opportunity on the way in, and admitted that he had to go a lot further on the way back out than he would have liked before he could fill back up. Would be impossible in a sedan or crossover w/ a 15 gallon tank.
