2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

My grandfather is safe. SOB was the only person on his street who did not evacuate. Surge brought water up the street, but fortunately did not enter his house and the roof appears to be intact. Just a lot of junk and sewage in the yard and neighborhood in general. No power and lines down everywhere, so it'll be a boring few days while he picks at whatever dry and canned goods he's got. But importantly, he's alive.

This guy in NC will not accept any assistance from Fema and has lost everything. He tells his family on the phone he doesn't have any food or water. Son in law is beside himself because his father in law is so under the spell (in the cult) of Donald Trump that he will not accept any help.

Nothing in the sun in Florida for 35 years is to spec anymore

I thought FEMA never showed up?

Nobody goes there; it's too crowded.

Give the people what they want. Pull FEMA out of all red districts.

Saw a picture of a dumpster on someone’s roof. Yikes.

in the same thread, mayor was criticized for saying that the predicted storm surge would cover a house. Sad that it was exactly correct.

Being almost 35 years old probably didn't help.

It's why you (should) seal coat roads.

Tropicana Field's roof has been shredded. A fabric roof. In a state well known for hurricanes.

Can they staple on a new roof in time for Opening Day?

The GOP is dead set on killing their own people...

Reported this morning that the roof was specced for 115mph, and the winds got to about 101mph. Someone screwed up on the math.

It’s a low lying coastal area, storms typically move through so fast that much rain doesn’t normally accumulate.

Gotcha.

I thought they were using the Trop for staging power line crews?

My Mom in Law made it through it , 8 miles or so southeast of Tampa, pretty near where eye came ashore. No internet or power(she has a generator though) but phone still works. She was lucky. Doesn't know what outside looks like yet.
