Hurricane Milton

If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of living through one you know exactly what it's like. It's not something I'd wish anyone to go through.
Big facts. Lots of people say their worst fears are spiders, heights, needles, etc. I'm not a fan of any of those but when asked I always say my worst fear is tornadoes. They sound like oncoming trains.

I live in an area that was bodied during the 2011 super outbreak. I was just a kid. My town more or less dodged most of the bullets (we had things like flipped cars, downed trees, and roofs gone) but a lot of our neighbors weren't so lucky. Couple years ago, I talked to someone from a nearby town that was decimated. He said he was part of a recovery and cleanup crew in the days following despite only being in the sixth grade. He said he found one of his old teachers impaled on a tree.

The pictures coming out of Florida today look like the EF4s and EF5s we got in 2011 (and several times since).
Today is the day with the most tornado warnings in a single state since the 2011 super outbreak. For context, the most active day of the outbreak had over 200 tornadoes.
Well fuck.
 
sex offenders aren't allowed in hurricane shelters lol

Florida has become so fucking based in regards to chomos that if i HAD to become an Americunt, Florida would be the state I move to no matter the risk of Mother Nature roflstomping my house every fall.
 
Scary. But not the same kind of danger as when you see this from an impending Tsunami. The water has been sucked out by the winds around the eye far to the south. Of course, it will come back. But it's unlikely to come back as a wall of water 10' high.
No, the water is going to being drawn away from Tampa and then spun down to the south. The Southern part of Florida will see the actual storm surges, poor bastards.

The eagle cam lost internet :( Apparently they've weathered storms before though, so fingers crossed they'll be okay.
 
That'd the thing; the video I posted earlier in the thread is called "For the weather nerds" or something like that. Milton was supposed to be a nothing burger and then got out of nowhere got big... right around a previous solar storm hit us. This most recent video I posted is a warning that we're going to be hit by that X class and another one... while the hurricane is still over land. That's what I've been able to pick up anyway, I'm a science nerd, not a Science Nerd, sorry! (The guy posting the videos is a Geophysicyst though!)
Kikepedia says its the most active since 9000 years ago, but at the same time says we're just coming out of the modern solar maximum. So either:
1)We're fucked for about 2000 years (assuming we don't nuclear war or grey goo ourselves) if the larger trend is accurate.
2) We're slightly less fucked and have a rough period of getting assraped by crop failures from cold weather if the smaller scale trend is more accurate.
3) Schrodinger's solar cycles.
Could you people stop sperging about the fucking Jews, and focus on the fucking disaster?
How dare you try to stop the Internet's oldest tradition alongside saying nigger and pretending to be a woman.

Don't care. I only need to see 400k people get wiped out a couple times at most before I learn that suddenly receding water is sign to GTFO immediately.

I mean, there's no downside to treating it the same as a Tsunami precursor. The same way there's no downside to NOT picking up random snakes and insects in the outback. It probably won't kill you, but you're better off just turning around and walking away.

When have 400,000 people died in an event?
 
Heard about this on the news earlier. Thankfully the dog is projected to make a full recovery, but fuck the subhuman piece of trash responsible. Outta throw him to Kero and the Zoo Crew.
Our family usually provides shelter to animals that were previously left out to die even when we were on vacation. It sucks that there are so many subhumans who neglect their own pets, even in amidst of a deadly hurricane.
 
Luckly the storm weakened quite a bit before making landfall.
It's a rough storm thus far, but Florida's lucky it lost a lot of steam as it closed in on land. It was threatening to reintensify earlier but thankfully that didn't happen. If it maintained those 180mph or even 150mph winds up to landfall the entire Tampa bay area would have been fucking decimated. Storm's still right over Tampa as we speak so we'll have to wait a while to really see if they really dodged a bullet or not.
