Hurricane Milton

And how many people died from Helene in Florida? Oh yeah, only 19 people. Most people died because of 18 inches of rain dumped in the mountains, not a bunch of wind and rain.

Fact is that hurricanes just aren't very dangerous to your health if you don't live on the beach or are a third world peasant living in a shack. Go on, look at the stats. Hurricanes just don't kill many people. Every time lots of people die from hurricanes in the US, it's because of either insane flooding in the NC mountains or New Orleans or because lots of retards were driving around and drowned. Last time hurricanes were actually dangerous in the US (decades ago) was when the average American in the South lived in third world-tier shacks. Houses are built better and people can take precautions like boarding up their windows and not hanging around the windows or exterior walls.

But hey, it's your choice to sit in traffic, waste money on price-gouged gas and hotels, and let JaQuan climb in the broken windows and look around your house.
Do you really have to be an unbearable nigger faggot in every single thread? You miserable, useless, attention-seeking, waste of space.
 
Tornadoes kill even less people than hurricanes. Just stay in an interior room of the house and you'll almost certainly be okay unless you're poor and live in a trailer.
You don't realize how large a percentage of Florida's population live in trailers, particularly those 55 and up. You have no know idea what's is like too scramble too save a nursing home that has lost all power and run out of fuel for generators. You have never gone into the aftermath of a hurricane.
You have no fucking clue to what you are talking about.
 
I'm all right, didn't even lose power. Looks like Helene had already knocked down most of the loose/dead baranches, so there won't even be much cleanup. I'm thankful, it could have been so much worse.
 
Hurricanes just don't kill many people.
Survivorship bias. Maybe people stopped dying by the hundreds and the thousands due to hurricanes along the Gulf because of improvements in forecasting and civil defense?

I'm sure right now there are dozens or hundreds of homes and buildings leveled or below water. What if none of them had evacuated? Same with tornadoes.

Here is a picture of one of the several neighborhoods leveled by the 2013 Moore, OK tornado, which killed 24 people.

What if every one of those homes was filled with a family of 4 that didn't evacuate or take cover in a storm cellar?

You know what else doesn't kill and cripple people in the US anymore? Polio.

You freaks praying for utter destruction should just wait until the San Andreas Fault decides to open wide one day and swallow me and the rest of California whole. I'll send a status report from Hell when they give me the WiFi password
Yeah but they deserve it for being californian
 
I'm just glad that there doesn't appear to have been a massive number of fatalities from this storm. All of the weirdoes in this thread who are seriously disappointed about a lack of death and destruction need to touch grass.
The sun hasn't risen yet. Just wait. I'm glad there's less death but just wait. I'm expecting most of the missing/death to be from tornadoes since big ones crossed very populated areas and knocked out power for over 500,000 people so we likely haven't gotten reports yet of the death toll/missing people.

You can always go back to Reddit if you don't like it here.

Hurricane Michael was one of the strongest hurricanes ever and hit an area with hundreds of thousands of people. Not even 100 died. Hurricane Ian was also pretty big and hit an even more populated area. Only 161 people died. Sounds like hurricanes aren't very efficient at killing people and as long as you don't live next to a body of water you're going to be safe even if you get some property damage.

most hurricanes don't kill more than like 24 people.

Hurricanes actually kill way more than those numbers. 15 years post hurricane study found an excess of 7-11,000 deaths from hurricanes. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07945-5

"Excess deaths" is such a nebulously defined stat that any model can show anything is causing them. Like racism, which The Science says has supposedly killed 1.63 million people in the US in the 21st century. And read your own article, it claims the excess deaths are caused by property damage and shit which guess what, evacuating won't do much there.
