Hurricane Milton

[Anonitolia]

Looks like landfall is getting closer and closer. I'm betting around 4 hours from now.

Most estimates are closer to 1-3 hours. Ryan Hall still claiming 1h 49m. 4 hours is optimistic.

This shit is scary and I’m not even there.

I've got a feeling the hurricane wants to take it slow, really rub it in. Something about this whole thing just feels unnaturally malicious. Call me crazy but hey, we'll see.

Just adding on to this, birding friend telling me that people on cruises are reporting massive flocks of birds landing on boats. They can become disoriented by the lights on ships at night, but the sheer number of birds and disorganization of the flight dictates that they've been blown off course of their migration route due to the storm. This video was reportedly taken on the Carnival Glory on October 7th. Spoiler contains photo of birds that died crashing into the boat.

Is Carnival the black people cruise line?

A hurricane that's dropping tornadoes left and right at night is fucking scary. All we can hope for is that it moves quickly and doesn't stagnate.

God damn dude! Good on you for wanting to warn but stay inside please and disinfect that shit right away you don't know where it's been.

did that, and am definitely not going back out there.

Because it's beautiful and alligators are our friends.

After having lived in Florida for years let me assure you that it's so over crowded you will not be able to afford to live in the beautiful parts, and even if you could it's 100 degrees outside with 90% humidity 75% of the time so you won't want to leave your house anyway.

Even ignoring the hurricanes Fuck living in Florida.

From the Minneapolis Fox live cams. I don't know if these images have already been posted but this is horrifying. These are attached I imagine fairly sturdily and they are shaking pretty strong. (I was trying to thumbnail these but I'm unsure if I was successful, apologies if it's murder on the eyes).

Spoiler: Even worse: All you can see is just wind and rain

Remember to report back when this finally passes via that DM checklist (ought to be highlighted if I remember). I wanna see all of you alive, your guys posts are funny and I enjoy browsing the discussions. I'd like to keep seeing you all in them when I return to lurking.

Spoiler: Mom (and friend) update

As of the moment, Mom's doin ok! An old friend of mine lives in St. Pete as well and not crazy far from my mom and his house cam is looking pretty ok. Just a crap ton of rain and wind like everywhere. So if he still has a house, so does my mom. I'm praying for the people in Sarasota though.

I'm 35 miles to the north of Tampa....we may be fucked. Can't wait to find out!!!!

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

I want to believe those hits aren't birds but actually Alligators and that at least one of them will crash into those bikini stream thots pool enclosure. Then the future Gatorcane movie can say "based on true events".

North of Tampa should get more winds but less storm surge.

Not really, but I do wonder why people just don't build a total commiehouse when given the opportunity to rebuild.

Florida man knows he'll be dealing with this shit again, and his answer is to sandbag every entrance to the house as if he's going to fight off RPG and other grenade launchers rather than a fucking hurricane? That ain't gonna do shit when your fucking roof flies off. What would help is if your house was a literal 2 storey + basement box of concrete and that's it. Unsavoury for most people I know, but you might as well stop kicking the can down the road when you live in the state the Great Flood forgot, and has been getting balance patches ever since to wipe out the last of the nephilim.

Honestly the basement would just be flooded, but i don't know anyone who genuenly uses the basement of the apartment block they live in. Will add a lot of structural stability, and the sheer weight of the commieblock is probably gonna help keep it from collapsing. Also, the basement will help a lot with preventing the building from tipping over, since iv'e seen a lot of basement-less buildings in earthquakes just "tip over" because the ground below them gave in and started sliding. Which is probably what's gonna happen here, except the ground will give in due to all the water eroding it so fast

Do you not remember what happened during Hurricane Andrew and Katrina? When civil order breaks down in a diverse area it's pretty easy to guess what comes next dude.

Just remember, this will happen any time the gibs are interrupted. And they've spent the past 4 years getting as many more people on those gibs from every other country they can (as long as they're not European countries) as possible.

A long (~7 day) outage of the food stamp program's faux debit cards would cause the same thing.

Got a beep on the phone! Winds up to 50MPH!11122346bqqLGQTQ69

50? Fuck that's a brisk day where I'm at, due to oddities in the local geography. I thought you Florida guys were in danger.


e: In all seriousness, tho: live you fuckers, we still have people to spite

The hurricane has not landed. This wind is just from it being miles away and approaching.

Scaly, prehistoric claws typed this post from a swamp.

Got a problem?

Isn’t Florida full of HOAs? So you can’t even build a bunker if you wanted to.

I imagine how even after this shit HOAs will still oppose those hurricane-proof homes I posted a few pages ago.

In terms of raw devastation, a nuclear bunker or similar would have a tough time dealing with Milton on a good day.

Please, all you would need is a tall snorkel to keep pumping air during the flood, could use a brick chimney for that, sturdy enough that those tend to be the only structure still standing above ground.

All thots will be patrolled.

Milton appears that it will be a near miss for Tampa Bay by about 8-10 miles. The eye should pass at around 1645 PST (445 PST / 745 EST).

Here we are only going to get tropical storm winds. It will be storm surge and flooding shitshow.

Seems to be the case. Pinellas isn't being hit with storm surge at the moment but they're in the same boat. They're just gonna be absolutely buffeted by winds but don't seem to be in crazy danger of storm surge. Going from friend's house cams that they're streaming at time of posting, it just looks like a bunch of wind (way more than we're used to in the area) and heavy rains but that's about it so far.
