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

I saw there was one from 1900-ish and one from 1920-ish, and that's it. It's going straight across the gulf rather than taking a wide turn as is normal and I guess the models aren't really built for that behavior. We have a semi-pro meteorologist here, right?

Check out TS Nestor in 2019.
 
Brevard County (cape Canaveral and environs on the Atlantic coast) already canceled schools for Wed and Thur, and the grocery stores have been taped and pillaged. I’m pretty sure this is going to be a non-event on this side of the state - unless, of course, our power stays off for a while because all the linemen in the country are on the west coast trying to winch Tampa Bay back out of the gulf….
 
Now a cat 4

vroom vroom

2 mph away from a cat 5

Florida says climate change is fake, and it’s barreling right at them

Cat 5 now. There will be some (how much?) weakening before landfall,but the storm surge looks like it will be significant.

Yesterday, we (son & I) were driving down I-95 yesterday from Lumberton NC to JAX (I caught a flight back) and there were utility trucks already heading south. I wouldn't be surprised if they stage in Lake City which has a goodly amount of hotel space and is right on I-75.

I-4 out of Tampa is already jammed with people evacuating.
 
My 89 year-old grandfather picked a great time to fly home this past Saturday. Now he gets to figure out how to GTFO, as the storm surge forecast for Charlotte Harbor is 5-10 ft and his house is right on the Myakka.

Last year he stayed until the end of October, but this year he just had to get home during peak hurricane season. :rolleyes:

Yikes.
 
Judging from activity, Milton appears to be undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle. I would assume any further intensification would occur tomorrow morning after that completes.

Kicking people who have lost everything seems pretty petty. Just sayin'.

Yes but also...aren't a lot of them the ones that says "God punishes the wicked"?

I dont want bad things to happen, but when you ignore facts, when laugh in the face of science and judge those that are trying to help you...I mean you reap what you sow.

Like Batman said "I won't kill you, but I dont have to save you either".
 
Jesus I just saw the path for Milton...you know that scene where Bugs Bunny cuts Florida off the US? Kinda looks like that only from Tampa to just south of Daytona Beach.

Insurance in Florida is about to be non-existent completely.

Exactly my attitude. How many of these MAGA people in the Florida path were writing BS stuff on social media about Asheville?

Asheville was 2/3 Dem last election, +40k votes. I don’t know how many in the rural areas were affected but the schadenfreude you’re looking for is likely misplaced.

I know...I am not talking about Ashville. I am talking about the people who are making comments about Ashville because they have a Jewish Female Mayor.
 
Well, my neanderthal brain can't figure out how to create a good link, but found a meme for my day today:

"You know you are a real Floridian when you get annoyed that a storm has gone over category 3 and now you have to care."

Headed home to (begrudgingly) put up my shutters.....

My cousin lives in Parkland, so doesn't have to worry about this one. But a few years ago, he was bracing for a direct hit. Put up all the shutters, which is a pain. Storm changed direction at last minute, and mostly missed him. He said he's never going to put up the shutters again. :p
