Hurricane Milton

4am, family members lost power. They are still in one piece thankfully, but can't update too much.

 

[CHARizard]

Don't forget Lt. Dan! I hope dude is ok and his boat is still in one piece.

This update on him is making the rounds.
This was fake and gay apparently

We need an update on this guy. If there is negligible damage to his roof, that man needs to start a small business and start selling this “system.” He’ll be a millionaire by tomorrow.

Now we know why he stayed in his rotten little shitty boat instead of heading to a shelter. In the immortal words of Pat Cooper, “Fuck him, and fuck him again.”

When I googled this the charges Lt Dan has for that mugshot are for punching a cop and threatening to light a woman on fire. The text about pedo charges is taken from charges for a different Joseph Milanowski in a different state.

NIGGER ARE YOU DUMB. Say you have a heart attack during the hurricane due to the stress caused by the hurricane. You go to the hospital and they save you. That heart attack puts you at greater risk of dying. Your death would be considered an excess TC death. THAT is what the article is talking about.

Stress can do irreversible damage to your body and predispose you to an earlier death. THAT is what excess TC death is. I don't know how stupid you can be that you don't understand that.

Yeah a gunshot wound to my heart may not kill me immediately on the day it happened but the result of it can end up killing me earlier than if I'd never had my heart damaged by a gunshot wound, even if I still live a few years post-wound, for another comparison. The gunshot wound triggered an early death. The hurricane triggered an early death.

You have no idea what you're talking about. This is one of the lowest IQ statements I've ever read on the farms, just shut the fuck up you dumb cunt.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

So tell me how evacuating from your inland McMansion will save you from any of this. Although hey, for all I know hurricanes turned you retarded

Hey retard, I noticed you didn't address any of my survivorship bias arguments. You know I'm right. Improvements in communication, civil defense planning, and orderly evacuation plans have drastically reduced deaths. While we had some reports of gasoline shortages and panics, overall, the state government of Florida, working with its citizens, managed to evacuate over a million citizens within 48 hours without serious incident. That is astounding, and other states and the federal government need to seriously examine the evacuation event and figure out just how it went so well, so they can replicate the process for other emergencies in the future.

Here's some information about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, the deadliest natural disaster in United States history. It isn't even in the top ten strongest Atlantic hurricanes, by the way.

How many of those people do you think would've died from that hurricane if they uh, just weren't fucking there.

 

[thhrang]

Woke up and briefly looked outside to assess damage, there's a huge fuckoff hole in my backyard fence but I think that's the extent of the damage to my shit. Could've gone worse tbh, and I'm grateful it wasn't. Does feel nice outside right now.

 

[VientreGordo3000]

Im a st peter and I haven’t yet seen the aftermath in my area, im hoping im gud bc i live relatively close to the bay

From what i have seen of the destruction in nearby areas so far on tv, it seems like the damage isn’t catastrophic but still pretty gnarly. I can only imagine how Sarasotas doing

I found this one for similar or the same charges

If his name is really Joseph Malinowski (lol)
I can't find him in the FL sex offender registry either.

It seems it started with this on xitter

then it was echoed by tiktok retard zooms like https://www.tiktok.com/@44vatox/video/7424034013091859755

Could be the same fag with 44 in the name, somewhere along the line the 10yo rape got mixed up it seems.

 

[Mourning_Cloak]

The "nothing ever happens" niggers and "I knew it was hype all along" faggots deserve to have horrific physical violence inflicted on them.

"Nothing ever happens" except when we get things like Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Irma.

The April 27, 2011 tornado super outbreak was so devastating in part because shit got so bad so quickly and people weren't prepared for it. Oh, nothing's gonna happen, it won't be that bad, until oh shit it is and we have maybe an hour to hide. Schools realized too late that they either should've cancelled schools entirely or dismissed at like 9 AM. Like how Florida gets hurricanes so much they get numb to them, Tornado Alley dwellers also get numb. But 2011 is why schools and even workplaces are more trigger happy as far as calling the day off entirely or dismissing early for weather threats.

The hurricane triggered an early death.

I'm not sure what deaths have been calculated into the death total since, but the Katrina deaths are probably a lot higher because of the amount of people who developed severe health issues because of exposure to a witch's brew of toxic shit during cleanup. Many of these people were previously young and healthy and they died young. Sure, they didn't drown or get impaled on a tree or anything but their deaths directly stemmed from the hurricane's devastation.

Yes, this was one of the biggest factors that I was thinking of when talking about it. minor exposure to sewage water can have longlasting impacts on your health that you just don't see until you're on death's bed. Those shit particles from the sewage water linger in the air for weeks/months. You're inhaling them.
Just being in the area after the hurricane struck, even if you weren't there to witness it, will cause health issues. The air quality will be worse for YEARS after a hurricane.

Property loss from a natural disaster is shown to elevate mortality risks (significantly with people over 50).
It causes increase of PTSD, lower community attachment, lower trust in community, increased sleepiness, less socialization, more depression, more hopelessness, more chronic condition, higher BMI, etc. https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.1289/EHP10903 It really does do its part in killing you. All of these things are a factor but none of it would have occurred in this way if the natural disaster hadn't struck. That's why the natural disaster is considered a cause of excess death. It increases mortality rates long after it's occurred. Not all factors to the cause of death need be direct.

 

[God's drunkest driver]

It's over. Doesn't seem to have been too bad inland other than the tornados. A friend of mine has 6" of water in his house in central FL, and some people I know in south FL had a tornado come within a couple hundred feet of their home and do a lot of damage to their neighborhood, flipping cars, destroying roofs and scattering trees.

He's likely just used augers for "hurricane straps" for modular homes and off-the-shelf straps. Smart application but not something Florida Man would pay a premium for when he can do it himself. The ones on modular homes are a metal band and run internally through the rafters. They've been mandated in Florida as long as I've been alive.

Some time after 04/05 and all that carnage they've also started mandating "hurricane ties" on traditional construction:

Every truss/rafter has a metal strap tying it directly into the block/framing of the house. Paired with some through-ventilation it virtually eliminates the previously common "lift-off" roof failures. It's also fairly straightforward to retrofit and the hardware is cheap. The only real advantage those external straps have is the shingles/decking they are in direct contact with. However you're trading off protection from catastrophic damage for slow/minor damage from loading and friction. Neither method are going to do anything for tornadoes or some huge oak falling down.

Whilst I can bemoan that Disney didn't get destroyed,

Don't worry. Disney is dying a slow death and will destroy itself eventually.

Some of you bloodthirsty fuckers who wanted bodies flying by in the wind need to dial back the shitposting. Same with the "nothingburger" crowd and the doomsday predictors.

People in mandatory evacuation zones should always leave for safer ground if they can, and most did. Otherwise? Let them ride it out if they want or need to.

It’s the same question you can ask to people who’d settle in the far north where blizzards, polar vortexes, and snow storms are common.

The only perfect climate you’ll find is Mediterranean. A nice blend of hot and cold, aside from earthquakes which are usually brief.

I wouldn't call places that burst into flames and have crushing heat waves during the summer now perfect.

You grow accustomed to your local weather norms, including extreme ones. One person's death bringer storm is another's above average but not unexpected seasonal event. I have fam who work in health care and the military. It doesn't matter if Mother Nature is unleashing fury, some jobs have to carry on as usual. My mom once went in to relieve folks who had been working 48hr non-stop at a hospital by riding with three others in the bucket of a snowplow. Leaf(wo)man is all sorts of crazy too, ya know.

Depending on where you are in Canada, snow can get wild. I remember once being barricaded inside for days as a kid when enough snow was dumped in a short time frame that it reached above the door frames. Another year the power went down for two weeks when ice took out most of the transformers. Generators are popular around here because the ice takes over the land and seizes our power at least once every winter.

Folks mocked me because I couldn't handle this summer's heat waves and didn't have a/c. We didn't need a/c in this part of Canada until now. We're snow creatures who thrive in freezing temps and see ice storms as an opportunity for street skating. We buy snowmobiles, not air conditioners. Or we did ... I miss the snow. Hate the heat.

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.


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

Cali fires are different because if you live in a decent sized city it's a non-issue, the fires just won't reach you. It might rain ash and the sky looks like the Book of Revalations is happening but you don't have to evacuate and potentially come home to nothing if you live in any major population center. Hurricanes will shred a major city with the same zeal they'll shred a mountain town with a population of 1,200 with. Our worst fire in recent memory was a horrible tragedy and the death toll was like 90 people.

>Wind goes really, really fast
>Giant concrete buildings just aren't there anymore

Whatever, sheeple.

Hurricane force winds can't melt steel beams.

Where would they evac them to? Where would they get the man power to move them all in such a short time?
Besides, its a prison. It's likely a reinforced concrete structure.

So is a swimming pool and they do a pretty good job of retaining water. Plus it's a county jail half those guys are in for simple posession and DUI they could release half the inmates on their own recognizance with no consequence.

IIRC they weren't in North America until the 1500s when Cortez came over to fuck around in Mexico. The natives that did take to horses picked up pretty quick, considering the Europeans, Eurasians and Asians had horses for tens of thousands of years in some cases.

Ralph's so fat he's just gonna float in the brackish waters, and he's so gross no diseases are going to outperform his superAIDS. He's golden. Five star hurricane survival phenotype.

Yeah that's what blows my mind. It doesn't surprise me they figured them out super fast but like growing up Indians and horses were like always pictured together so natives not having horses for like 24,000 years just doesn't match my perception of reality maybe that just makes me stupid.

Do the homes in hurricane-prone areas have a special internal room where you can go and hide? like a glorified cupboard under the stairs, so even if the roof is ripped off, or windows blow in, the internal room will be relatively safe? I was wondering about a basement room/cellar, but then a surprise flood might drown everyone..and an upper floor room might lose it's ceiling if the roof peels off....so maybe ground floor, fully internal, no windows..?

No, those things aren't very common in Florida, because if your primary concern is wind blowing away your home, it's probably a Cat 4 or 5 and you're probably going to evacuate, and if you don't evacuate and you instead hide in one of these things and your home does blow away, you'll likely drown. If you've decided to ride it out, you're probably not going to concern yourself with your house blowing away, and instead you're going to want to be able to escape flood waters if they become a problem, and sealing yourself in a box is counterproductive. Homes (built by reputable contractors) in hurricane prone areas generally do have special considerations taken into account though, but there's no hardened central safe room specifically for hurricanes.

What you're describing though does exist, and they're fairly common in the Midwest. They're generally just referred to as "tornado safe rooms" or "above ground storm shelters."

Here's one in the aftermath of the 2013 Moore, OK tornado. It took a direct hit from an absolutely monster EF-5. Altogether, 16 above ground storm shelters were hit by the tornado, and all of the occupants in all 16 shelters survived the tornado. Only 1 had a failure, which, researchers discovered, was due to shoddy construction, specifically improper mesh reinforcement and poor cement consolidation. The failure specifically was a square piece of steel tubing flying at an estimated 200 miles an hour piercing the wall.
This is not a picture of that shelter.

As you can see, the area around the safe room is what experts would refer to as, "completely fucking flattened."

Wtf does any of this have to do with your original point that evacuating was necessary to 'cause less deaths due to stress'. Fuck yeah stress can cause health issues that lead to death but they're not going to be attributed to this one in particular. Why not Helene?

And wouldn't evacuating when unnecessary just cause extra stress? You're bringing a whole bunch of valid facts together to make a retarded point, because you're dumb.
