Hurricane Milton

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

For a cat 5? I don't think any shelter does.
Lets hope it hits land as a cat 3 or 4.

I ask this question because there is 99% chance of hurricane hitting Florida at some point every year or so.

Looks pretty sick.

I could be remembering this wrong but I think the saiyan pods were based on these things.

This site is pretty good for tracking hurricanes

Why's it predicting that the eastern disturbance will move toward the Bahamas? I thought it was supposed to move east.

 

[TapewormSalesman]

Never change, 'Murrica!

Also that one girl made her presumably boyfriend go back through the waves like 3 times to take pictures for the 'gram LMAO

Hover over the puprle line. It was a tracking of where it's moved already. Not a prediction.

The other purple line is Milton's forecast.

 

[Smyrna]

Quoting from the NHC's Forecast Discussion (emphasis mine);

We would like to emphasize that Milton's exact landfall location is
not possible to predict even at this time, particularly if the
hurricane wobbles during the day and into this evening. Even at
12-24 hours, NHC's track forecasts can be off by an average of 20-30
nm. Since storm surge forecasts are highly sensitive to the exact
track, this means that the realized storm surge heights across the
Tampa Bay region and south may vary widely, and there will likely be
a noticeable gradient of surge heights to the north of the landfall
location. However, the risk of devastating storm surge still exists
across much of the west-central and southwest coast of Florida given
the size of the storm and the uncertainties in exactly where
landfall will occur.

The NHC is basically telling people to not be surprised if Milton landfalls outside the cone.

Ah, I must've gotten confused then. I didn't even know disturbances could move that much before forming storms/hurricanes. My bad.

It is moving east. That is the earlier track that shows it toward the Keys. Click on any part of the path and it will show the date and time of it's position.

 

[Major von der Westfront]

Based. I wouldn't encourage this. But I have absolutely zero quarrel with people doing this. God gave us one life on this earth and they are living it to the fullest.

He's a Kiwi for sure

This is sensationalism. If they had confidence issues they would simply widen the cone again.

 

[Spill]

I know there are live cams, but do we know of any storm chasers planning to livestream the whole thing?

Literally everytime I tab over, theres a thot taking pictures in Key West

I'm surprised none of them are flashing the camera

 

[RodgerDodger]

What kind of shelter qualifies as hurricane proof.

In Florida? The entire state is at or below sea level. Honestly any solid steel and concrete construction with a heavy roof, and someplace to go above the ground floor will work even for the worst of them.

 

[14% Loko]

There are companies that make these little waterproof orbs with chairs in them for that kind of thing and/or tsunamis.

The idea is they float safely around the flooded area and are easy to spot by rescue parties IIRC. They're also expensive and take up a bit of space though.

I'd rather die than float around in a gay little orb like that.

????? Florida is above sea level. It's high point is 345 ft above sea level. There are small parts that are below sea level including the Everglades but the whole state aint below sea level lmao

The cone is not normally manually drawn - each forecast point has a set radius. The NHC itself is stating they have lower-than-normal confidence. I don't believe I am misinterpreting their words.

 

[RandomTwitterGuy]

Don’t get complacent. These hurricanes, as they peter out crossing the Atlantic, bring torrential amounts of rain. The southern states of the US getting blown away can mean flash flooding in Europe a week or two later.

A 100%, but my point is more. That is easy enough to deal with compared to my house and the neighbor's house merging, and are now flying out to sea.

I'd rather jump off a building than float in these eyball lookin' chinesium grade dinguses, i'm pretty sure these are gonna leak and i'd end up drowning and ALSO being trapped while drowning alive in there. I'd rather not trust these

If you appreciate your eyes burning while looking for hurricane news, check this autist out.

once you get to the north end of the Orlando sprawl the state starts to get surprisingly hilly
