**** 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Tropical Storm Rafael (60 mph) | Heading to the Gulf ****

[4 Dimensional]

I have three close friends in Tampa. The bad news is, they're hard headed as fuck and have been through so many storms that they don't get scared. The good news is none of them are right on the water.

That’s the mentality that needs to go. Every hurricane is different. They all bring a different type of circumstance. People get complacent thinking that their experience can triumph against Mother Nature.

Milton has potential to reach a category 5. A direct hit to Tampa hasn’t been ruled out yet.

The latest GFS model has taken a more northerly track above Tampa Bay.

Damn that's not a good scenario for Tampa... Us being on that dirty side of the storm will fa sho cause severe flooding

Living out here I can say in general dealing with hurricanes in FL is a roll the dice scenario... Being a narrow peninsula state you have no idea where to go... The way they do mass evacuations it's organized but because there's only one way out the state (north) depending on when you leave you might end up on the road for hours looking for somewhere to stay, the likelihood of finding gas will be a challenge, and the storm can still take a late turn and head right where you are...

Even in state, hurricane projects to Miami yeah they can slide to Jacksonville, but then the hurricane heads that way... Complacency is a factor to some but as a whole it's much more than that... A bunch of unfortunate decision-making

Wow, I see.

That’s a tough situation to be in, especially with little time to prepare. I remember when yall had to deal with Irma and it went up the peninsula instead through it.

Those dice rolls seem to be getting trickier.

Lol, I feel you on that.

Thing about living in Florida is that you need to find a good shelter and just wait the storm out there. Some of the shelters are pretty comfortable and decent in certain areas.

Mayne you already know... It makes it somewhat easier with the storms coming from the Atlantic, but with these newer joints forming in the Gulf it just makes effective preparation difficult

That’s wild. 2024 hurricane season is rivaling 2004.

For those curious, the National Hurricane Center updates every three hours.

Eastern time: 2am, 5am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, and 11pm.

For other time zones, just subtract the difference.

 

[Flawless]

I want shit to get fucked up.

 

[easy_b]

Well, Milton didn’t even hit Florida yet, but Florida got another thing to worry about in a week and a half. This has been consistent over the last three rounds of the model. We’ll see what happens.

That was my first year in Florida, talk about welcome to Florida lol I was ready to go back up north by years end.

Oh, shit

Where did you come from before Florida? Have you ever experienced a hurricane before then?

 

[God-Of-War-420]

Yeah man, it was eye opening.

Born and raised in Connecticut(Danbury aka damn boring to be exact) so hell no, I had experienced blizzards which as a kid meant no school and fun in the snow, I didn't even really understand what the fuck a hurricane was but year one i got schooled lol

The clock is ticking down where we are going to see massive amounts of migration of American citizens from areas like Florida.

Folks screaming and hollering about Migrants coming across the Southern Border…..folks ain’t seen nothing yet when fellow Americans start moving inland from hurricane/coastal states.

The numbers are going to be in the millions. Folks moving in and living on top of each other like you see in dystopian Sci-Fi films.

That’s when folks will definitely show their true colors.

Yep, they are going to get the hell out of Florida, but they are not getting too far away from climate change. Yeah, you can move into the Midwest, but you have to worry about tornadoes. No, you can’t go into the mountains because you seen what hurricane Helene did to North Carolina mountains. Yeah, they have a huge decision to make.

That’s the question.

When folks start making the move in large numbers….Where are they going to go?

No state in this country has the infrastructure to accept millions of transplant looking for housing.

Exactly and most infrastructure around the country cannot handle this crazy weather so they have a huge decision to make. Although the people near the coast need to need to get the hell on because these hurricanes bringing in 15 to 20 feet of storm surge is not healthy.

Hurricane Milton is up to 90 mph now.

So glad I left Florida almost exactly two years ago. Yeah I’m in the snow belt but fuck it, said it many times before, I would take a blizzard over a hurricane every time.
