Real windy and rainy where I live right now. Trees in my yard have already bent so far that some branches have touched the ground. Praying that none of the mango trees get toppled over like they did with Irma. No flooding here though and I'm hoping it stays that way. Ian is south of me too and I ain't even in the cone anymore from what I saw.
 
Since we're back just in time for Hurricane Ian to fuck everyone's shit up I'm gonna post some of the more interesting videos I've come across today. Attempting to DL and UL but the source links might be better for with the site as it is rn.

I’m in Southeast Florida. Not much going on here though you wouldn’t know it by the retards who cleaned out Publix and Walmart. Hey idiots, you know you can shop for hurricane supplies any time of the year? You aren’t required to wait until the last possible second.

I do have palm fronds all over my yard but if that is my biggest inconvenience from this than I’m grateful. Irma left me with two uprooted tress and and an old heavy metal basketball hoop/pole that fell down and just missed hitting my house. It cost me nearly $1k to get all that shit cleaned up.
 
A transformer got whacked by debris near my place and about 6 or so men went outside to watch the resulting fire and live cable whipping around. It made a few incredible arcs and explosion sounds before the power cut out completely. Would've gotten a vid but I was too concerned about the cars possibly catching fire. Didn't really expect fire would be a threat during a hurricane.

Heard from my mom one of her buddies saw the Circle K ice machine floating down the road. Down a mile or so from the coast.

Lots of FL men and women out there driving and walking about all throughout today. Everyone's clearly bored with no power.

I plan on taking a walk in the morning and seeing the damage and flooding. Power should be down for a while just like with Irma.

Stay safe FL kiwis

So is Ian a category 5 or not? NOAA doesn't even have it listed under any category when it typically would list a hurricane's category. Legit can't find any tracker or the like that says what category it is. Though given the winds NOAA's measured, from 120 to 140 knots, it's like snug in Category 4, but no one's listing it as such, they have to go "ALMOST A 5" every time.

Fuck this "soft language" of theirs.

Ian is a category 4 according to the Melbourne, FL NWS office:
Smarter people than me said:
At 500 PM, Major Hurricane Ian was located about 120 miles south-southwest of Orlando, FL. Ian's maximum sustained winds are 140 mph, making it a Dangerous Category Four Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Ian is moving north-northeast around 8 mph across southwest Florida.

Late this afternoon, Ian made landfall just south of Punta Gorda near Pirate Harbor as a high end Category Four Hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph. Ian will weaken as it progresses towards the north-northeast over the Florida peninsula through tonight and into Thursday. Ian will track across the interior counties of east central Florida through Thursday.

Central Florida here, home broadband's already out. Power's still on for now. Mobile data is still up as well, but getting slower and slower as more people cram onto it because their broadband's out.

Wish me luck, Kiwis!
 
My vague conspiratorial theory is the NOAA might've been very reluctant to let the storm's wind speeds pass the cat 5 barrier because if it passes that barrier, there may be some huge amount of insurance company payouts triggered by it. Insurance companies have already been bailing out on Florida over the last decade and it's extremely difficult to get coverage in some areas or for some properties, so a cat 5 wallop of a metro might be enough to get the industry there to collapse altogether.

They kept sustained wind speeds at 2 mph below the cat 5 threshold for about 7 hours before landfall.
 
One detail come to my mind is if the champagne socialists like Michael "Moron" Moore will do a live-aid to help Cuba in the aftermath of hurricane Ian?
 
Florida is like an open sewer, you know, it's full of filth and scum. Sometimes I can hardly take it. Whatever ever becomes the President should just - really clean it up, know what I mean? Sometimes I go out and I smell it. I get headaches, it's so bad, you know. It's like - they just never go away, you know. It's like I think that the President should clean up this whole mess here. He should flush it down the fuckin toilet. Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I'm working long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal.
 
Could have posted sooner but due to the shitty mobile service, I couldn’t.
From what I experienced it was nothing but leaves and trees strung about all over the place.
 
Made it out well, family included

Other locals reportedly have had submerged houses and cars. Went for a drive, lots of debris but not as much flooding as expected.
