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

LynahFan said:
Well, if the prediction of an above-average season comes true, October is going to SUCK!!!! Can't believe we're only on G in the middle of Sept. Katrina was famously on Labor Day weekend, for example.

And just in case any of you lay awake at night worrying about me, we moved ~7 miles inland. Real estate market in Florida remains strong and I just couldn't see it lasting much longer, so we unloaded our monstrosity of a beach property and moved to a house 20% smaller and 80% younger for 50% of the price. Will probably never have to evaculate again - feels good!

Was reading something where the eastern half of the country is set up to collect colder arctic air for the rest of 2024. Meaning nothing will be able to really develop and hit the states. Francine suffered with crazy shear that kept it a 1. Even now Gordon is starting to turn north with that fence protecting the US

Today's "7 miles inland" is just tomorrow's beach front property.

(glad you got out and let someone else hold the bag.)

Of course there is. It's Florida.

Stop, children, what's that sound? All the trees are blowing down.

Sandbag lines are being drawn...

60s music is a lot better that the crap today...
 
The forecasts for Helene have worsened sharply in the last 12 hours, with NHC now saying up to 20 foot storm surges. Katrina was 28.
 
Looks like Mom in Law in Tampa area avoids the worst of it,thankfully. She did just have a Generator put in

I just watched storm chaser feeds for half an hour and saw transformers blow out in a Winn Dixie parking lot. Young males are so stupid. I'm going to bed.

I feel bad for some of those who were so effected, but for the climate deniers who have had their insurance canceled- it's hard to find much sympathy given that the two are so related.

But I will also contend that the fastest way to get money in line with climate change is to force them to cover people and pay out. We are already seeing massive, huge increases of rates in Florida, but they also seem to avoid paying totally out. All of the stock markets HAVE to have skin in the game for climate change. Making it financial to everyone will change things quickly. Heck, it's not unreasonable to have a carbon tax that is the main source of federal bail outs. If that fund ever gets over funded, then they can dial it back. But we all know that's not going to happen.

Once Wall St is forced to pay out for their lying, the misinformation will surely end, too.

Right but the government isn't going to be able to do that. Not should they. Florida isn't just because of climate change, there's an incredible amount of insurance fraud that the government has no interest in stopping.

But yeah, climate change is screwing with our of control home prices. California is the next one to get hit hard (it already is). Rumors of insurance rates going up 30% on average in fire country.

anyways, Wall Street won't pay. Shareholders won't either. It's always the customer. If the companies are forced to cover, they'll just offer premiums that are roughly equal to the price of the house divided by the likelihood they'll get destroyed.

and further, you're going to hit people like me who have to pay for this shit because the companies will jack rates everywhere. Fuck that.

Florida is going to Florida man. They can work on fixing it, but the people who lose their insurance are just interested in complaining about it to justify an authoritarian to do nothing for them.

I also think there can be regulations that reduce the impact of corporate greed over the customers.

I don't see it changing any time soon, but someone has to pay for it. And until people figure out that we are collectively the cause of all of this, the long term pay out will be a lot more expensive if we don't do something soon.

We are all paying.

People are so effing dumb. Phoenix is unlivable without ac and using ac just amplifies our issue and yet hey people think well I’m still going to move there and I’m gonna get mine

id feel better about helping if they weren’t such assholes about it. NYC has good teams working on adaptation and are doing some amazing things. Alabama, Texas, and Florida and sc can all fucking sink because I no longer believe they can escape maga. They will flood, drown, blame dems for not getting enough aid and rev their giant truck engines while owning the libs

I wish we could figure out a way to get the same people out of those states and relocated so it’s just maga left to rot. I mean Jesus will save them
