Was Hurricane Milton a nothing burger?

[Nicholas II of Russia]

I swear, the "nothing ever happens" fucktards are becoming more insufferable by the day.

 

[A Cardboard Box]

Nothing's really happened.

Here's some nothing for you, bro.
God I hate it when nothing impales my roof with roll away dumpsters. It's the worst.

As the sun rises, Milton can be seen very quickly taking on extratropical characteristics. Do you think it'll reorganize?

If anyone could predict the cat 5 hurricane would lose half of its strength on the last couple of hours before hitting land that person should go to the lottery next.

With all of the nothingburgers being flung around, just be glad that Milton didn't pull an Otis and bullshit its way back into CAT5 territory hours before landfall. They can never predict explosive cyclogenesis correctly.

I think if you've never survived a hurricane you don't get to talk about this being a nothing burger.

This was a miracle that so many survived

Aiite well as a fellow Floridian who has survived several, this was a nothing burger.

Wow the houses are still standing and structurally sound. I live in a town that nearly had a bridge collapse when a Cat 3 (a much weaker non-apocalypse storm) unlodged some construction barges and slammed them into a bridge. That was considerably worse than your picture of a structurally sound building getting hit by an empty dumpster.

Not to mention it's beyond retarded to make claims so soon after a hurricane. It'll take months to put a number on the damage caused

Can a certified weather autist shed some light on if there's another storm coming behind Milton? I've had my sister and mother tell me this, but I refuse to believe them because they probably got their news from social media.

Hurricanes draw their strength from the warm waters they travel through. Its obvious they would lose strength in the hours before hitting land because the water gets more and more shallow and thus they have less fuel

You talk as if a hurricane never made it inland as a cat 4+ in the US

Some models (particularly the GFS) suggest a tropical storm will develop in the Caribbean Sea in the next 7-10 days and meander towards the Gulf of Mexico. If it forms, it is very unlikely to be anywhere near Milton's strength. The GoM is usually a graveyard for tropical systems in October - Milton, Michael and Opal are the exceptions.

No, I've mentioned several times that Cat 4+ have, just that they're typically very rare and this storm, which again, meteorologists have been claiming for the past week was "Achieving the Upper Limits of what the Gulf is capable of producing." and "So strong we might need to make a new Category 6 to classify it as."

Then it hits, deescalates to a Cat 3 with minimal loss of life, and the expected amount of property damage, and then continues on its way.

Everyone's bitching about people saying "Nothing ever happens." but they seem really butt hurt that hundreds aren't dead and stranded without power for the next three months. Its really fucking strange.

Survivorship bias. An empty roll away dumpster weights 3,500lbs. That very easily could've killed someone, or a car full of someones.

structurally sound.

Yeah? You'd sleep in a house with a 3,500lbs hunk of steel sitting in your attic? I'm good man.

This is called projection fam, you most certainly wanted a cat 4+ butt fucker in your ass by how mad you seem that it lost strength at the end.

people fixate too much on the category when there're are multiple other factors that are far more indicating of the devastation a hurricane will cause

Was gonna make the same post.

Florida got tornados like you seen in the mid-West in the spring in just one day. Whole lotta nothin.

Ian already fucked up insurance prices, this year is just making them worse. IDK how anyone except rich boomers from Yankee states will be able to afford to own a home there in the coming decades.

Here's the NHC 7 day outlook. Nothing in the gulf.

Could have. Didn't. This isn't a discussion on what could have happened, its a discussion on what actually happened, and so far, there's not a lot that did.

Yeah? You'd sleep in a house with a 3,500lbs hunk of steel sitting in your attic? I'm good man.

Is it above my room? You can in fact, just go to other parts of the house

This is called projection fam, you most certainly wanted a cat 4+ butt fucker in your ass by how mad you seem that it lost strenght at the end.

You're unhinged and clearly upset you didn't get the news stories you wanted and are now desperately hoping the aftermath will be worse than it is so you don't have to accept the fact you got hyped for a Category 6 storm and got a Category 3 instead.

people fixate too much on the category when there're are multiple other factors that are fare more indicating of the devastation a hurricane will cause

I don't disagree. The only reason Categories get as much attention as they do is because its the easiest way to communicate potential severity to people.

The most immediately thing people should be concerned with is Storm Surge, if they're on the water. That will kill you if you don't leave.

Wind is up next for debris.

Then a lack of power in the days to come affecting critical infrastructure like hospitals.

Immediately after that access to fresh water then food.

Water, Food, and Power are now the most important factors and there could be a crisis there still potentially. However as of yet I've seen no evidence of that.

What kinda fag believes man made weather machines capable of creating artificial hurricanes and are funded by liberal shadow governments exist, but says post industrial emissions Dutch ovening the earth is whats actually unbelievable?

Yeah, don’t they know the UN banned weather control back in 1978 (“Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques”) after the US military successfully strengthened monsoons in Vietnam. It’s literally illegal for the government to strengthen hurricanes.

On an unrelated note, back in the early 2000’s a company developed an extremely efficient water-absorbing powder that would dry out a storm wall and then fall into the sea. Apparently the reaction of absorbing moisture was endothermic so the particles were super-chilled and would lower ocean surface temperatures. They thought it could make hurricanes dump their energy in a few hours.

In 2001 they dropped a few tons of the powder out on a storm off the coast of Florida, absorbing 4000 tons of water and successfully destroying the storm in minutes. NOAA cut ties with them in 2003, shutting the project down before the company could test the powder on a hurricane.

It literally is. We have been discussing hypotheticals extensively.

Yeah I'm unhinged because I'm glad the hurricane wasn't as bad as it could have been, instead of complaining about how nothing ever happens online and crying over how it didn't ground Tampa.

This is how I know you're a fucking retard who has no idea what they're talking about.

Hurricanes draw their strength from the warm waters they travel through. Its obvious they would lose strength in the hours before hitting land because the water gets more and more shallow and thus they have less fuel. Its the reason the moment they hit land they almost always immediately weaken.

That's how these storms work. Its not a matter of luck.

Oh yeah? Why didn't harvey lose it's strength then when it hit land, retard.
