Hurricane Milton

[ye's Official KF Burner]

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

Don't forget to add the people suffering from Helene after effects across Appalachia, which is literally an ongoing situation from the remnants of a storm.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

alive and well, never even lost internet
no boil water or anything
driving around a bit lots of branches and odds and ends around, one big tree down on a side street, one fence down, but really not much to gawk at or show off

wind was loud AF overnight around 3~4 when we were getting our max winds

They're generally just referred to as "tornado safe rooms" or "above ground storm shelters."

I was thinking about installing one in my backyard next year. Do you know if above ground or below ground are better? I'm guessing in hurricane prone areas, above ground would be safer due to flood risk? I mean there has to be a way for oxygen to get in underground ones right? So if air gets in so does water.

original point that evacuating was necessary to 'cause less deaths due to stress

That wasn't my point. Reread my post. Evacuation causes less immediate death. It doesn't prevent the stress that occurs when your home is destroyed. It doesn't stop the stress. The stress allows for health issues to build. That contributes to mortality rate. If the natural disaster didn't destroy the house, those health issues might never have occurred. It's statistically significant enough that it is an issue.

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?

Yes, health issues are increased due to multiple things I listed, as an effect of the natural disaster destroying your home. Yes, the same thing is going to happen to victims of Helene and any other fuckin natural disaster that destroys homes. I don't know why you thought it would apply to just this one (that would be retarded).

And wouldn't evacuating when unnecessary just cause extra stress?

What the fuck are you talking about????? If the government says evacuate, you EVACUATE.

Personally I evacuate if there's a hurricane coming because I have the resources to and it's LESS stress for me to do so than dealing with the shit that occurs during a hurricane. I've been through a tornado and a hurricane. Never again do I want to experience that. I'd rather sit cozy in my car a state away.

I personally have a below ground one in the back yard. I did a whole bunch of research when I got it put in a few years ago. If you're interested please feel free to DM me so I don't slide the thread any further. I'd love to help.

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.

You haven't read much posts here if you thing that's one of the dumbest.

Control the weather, control the land Agenda 2023​

Cartoon published 10/09/2024

“Never let a crisis go to waste”

There have been rumors of weather modification lately—and our government has been involved in it for over a 100 years. We have seen a long list of weather modification patents spanning over that time, so it’s not conspiracy theory. There are entities out there messing with the weather.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force seeded clouds to extend the monsoon season to deter North Vietnam along the Ho Chi Minh Trail by causing floods and landslides. It was a highly classified program called “Operation Popeye,” and it was backed by Henry Kissinger and the CIA without the knowledge of the Department of Defense. This harkens to the warnings from Eisenhower and Kennedy about secret societies gaining power over the government.

Such groups have since grown powerful enough to come out in the open. People such as Soros and Bill Gates heavily influence policy through their foundations and NGOs. One used to be called a conspiracy theory for even mentioning the Bilderberg Group. Now everyone knows it’s real and those former secret players now attend globalist meetings in Davos, sponsored by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. They want to control everyone in the world. Bill Gates wants control by means of vaccines.



We don’t know if Hurricane Milton was man-made or not. It seems outrageous to say, but storms can and have been influenced by means of cloud seeding and high tech methods. Chemtrails are part of it. Nobody asked the public for permission and who knows for sure what concoctions they’re using. Lasers, liquid nitrogen to cool water, turbines, microwaves, and other devices can help steer the hurricanes. The latest hurricane began off the Texas coast and headed east toward Florida. It seems strange. We don’t recall seeing it before. Hurricane Helene was unusually strong as well and flooded areas in the southern states that rarely see floods.

The globalists love to take advantage of disasters. They probably see the latest hurricanes as opportunities to advance their plans, which they have spelled out. They say the Devil will tell people his plans and if they don’t resist, they are complicit and it’s no longer the Devil’s fault.


Part of their agenda includes driving people out of rural areas and crowding them into what they call ‘smart cities,’ where residents will own nothing and be happy. Such smart city dwellers will have no possessions or privacy. They will live in pods and eat insects. They will be easier to control. They will obey their globalist masters. Will smart cities spring up around Appalachia as well, or do the globalists simply want to wipe out small towns so they can claim the lithium deposits there? It remains to be seen.


This ‘wiping out’ process probably included the mysterious obliteration of Paradise, California as well as the unusually powerful fire that destroyed Lahaina, Maui. It might have been caused by a space laser. The mega-billionaires want prime land for themselves. There has already been talk about constructing a smart city on Maui. And now, lo and behold, Bill Gates has invested in plans to transform Tampa Bay into a smart city. The globalists realize making an omelette requires breaking some eggs. They call it the ‘Great Reset.’ They want old cities and traditional ways of thinking broken, and a Cat 5 storm can be used to do the breaking.

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.

I remember some Canadian friends of mine came down here to the southeast long ago and mocked how we'd freak out over an inch of snow. For the record, snow down here is messy with a layer of slippery ice underneath, and not the dry fluff you'd have up there. I always wonder how they're coping with all that karma.

When it is about the life of your family, listen to evacuation orders.
If you are some lonely fucker, stay for all I care and drown.

Just don't tell other people to not prioritize their family's well being.

St Pete got wrecked. Kenwood has trees down everywhere. Whole sections of neighborhoods cut off. 1st Ave N looks like a bomb went off....for miles.

Minus the power being out at my house the only damage I had was my rickety fence collapsed. I am very fortunate compared to others. Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers guys!

Made it ok it looks. Seeing some saying this was a scam for gofundme though, dunno yet what's going on.

 

[Lookie-lou]

One would hope many would preemptively prepare after another hurricane had recently grazed through and killed a lot of people in an unexpected way in the mountains.

Not a yank, not an expert, just sincerely hope people did mostly take cautions and nope out in their way. I would have just left and let insurance take the wheel.

 

[Londo]

Reading the replies about this being a nothing.

Last night I didn't lose power; didn't even experience any significant rain or wind. It was actually a pretty normal night. My electricity is running and the store are open. Life is normal. The roads are fucked though - potholes everywhere and constant stream of shit on the roads. Black people are looking for any excuse to loot and form gangs so that's concerning. Fair enough I'm in Scotland with no hurricane but my experience surely must be representative of the entire world!

 

[Abbadon's Gate]

Pensacola Kiwi here, I'm assuming my southern Kiwis had the same experience of "The Dooms Day Storm" hit land and immediately weakened with very few deaths and some property damage?

This is where I get my news, so I'm genuinely asking.

The media made out like this was a world ending, climate change affirming, Florida drowning event. It wasn't. They got it wrong, again.

I feel like I have to explain this to people I know every single hurricane season.

Yes bad hurricanes can happen, at the beach I go to near my house the overflow parking lot is literally foundations of where houses used to be when Ivan hit. But that's the thing, Ivan hit 20 years ago.

I've been living in Pensacola since 2015, I'm not kidding when I said this is the third time that I can recall that we've had "A storm so strong its going to become a Category 6. We're gonna have to make a new Category for how powerful it is. It's at the upper limits of what's possible for the Gulf to produce!" Then it gets into shallow water, drops three categories, causes some damage and some dumb people die, but otherwise nothing's happening.

That doesn't mean Ivans can't happen, but that its not super often. Even Hurricane Katrina wasn't that bad of a storm and the reason it got as bad as it did was entirely due to political corruption rather than anything the storm did (at least in Lousiana, Mississppi got fucked up).

 

[Pina Colada]

I made it too! I didn't even lose power, though for those that did they're probably going to periodically shut it off while they work on the lines. Will pretty much be windy and rainy in my area for the day; we dodged the tornadoes and our "damage" was a couple of torn palm branches in the yard. All that matters is we're lucky to be here.

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.

I've worked both disaster zones and wildfires are worse IMO. At least with hurricanes you have a couple days notice to get your shit together and papers in order. For wildfires there's no notice. One minute the fire is a half-mile away going in the opposite direction and the next minute your house is on fire and you're running for your life with nothing but the clothes on your back. At hurricane shelters you see people lined up to check in with luggage, at wildfire disaster centers you see people standing there in their underwear and pajamas and that's it. Everything else is gone. Not just clothes but wallet, driver's license, ID, deed to the house, insurance paperwork - all ashes.

Good morning FL Kiwis and congrats on getting through it. Just waiting on an update from @Got Milk! now…

 

[Gef Mongoose]

Reminder that if you don’t evacuate in a mandatory evacuation zone, and you do happen to be injured during the hurricane, paramedics can’t roll up on you that quickly. You could be pinned underneath a tree for 14 hours or so.
Police and firefighters responded to an apartment on fire during hurricane Francine. They most likely wouldn’t have been able to do that if the apartment was in a mandatory evacuation zone. Usually mayors and police chiefs/fire chiefs express that factor for mandatory evacuations as well.
You can take that risky chance if you want to, but I’m personally not going to do so if I can help it.

The media is never going to downplay a hurricane, for liability reasons. Anyone living in a hurricane active area for long enough knows that. It’s up to your gut instinct, if your area is in a mandatory evacuation zone or not, and your comfort level. I’m personally evacuating for anything Cat 3 and up. I’ll ride out the rest.

Most of us in here watched how Milton operated before a short time before he hit landfall in Florida. No one should have been trying to evacuate right up until Milton downgraded. They were working off of what Milton was doing for the past few days.

Some of you in here need to be looking more retrospectively for why people evacuated the way they did, and why the media covered it the way they did. Evacuating for Milton if you were on the coast in the storm path was not unwise for anyone.
