Utopia Talk / Politics / Florida: Hurricane Ian

murder Member	Tue Sep 27 10:11:27 We never really liked Port Charlotte anyway. http://www...0939.shtml?inundation#contents
Habebe Member	Tue Sep 27 10:18:48 I have a Great Aunt in Largo, she is evacuating today to a local church that doubles as a regular storm shelter. Getting Andrew vibes.
murder Member	Tue Sep 27 10:24:14 On the current track she seems to have lucked out. Largo will be on the weak side of the storm. And if landfall dips any further south, Largo may not even get hurricane force winds. Of course the track can always shift north again.
murder Member	Tue Sep 27 10:30:06 "Getting Andrew vibes." Getting Charley vibes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Charley
Sam Adams Member	Tue Sep 27 10:30:38 Ya charley is correct historical precedent.
Rugian Member	Tue Sep 27 10:33:51 Apparently Tampa doesn't normally get hurricanes but this one is headed straight toward them, so they're especially potentially buttfucked. Here's hoping for a last minute miss.
Habebe Member	Tue Sep 27 10:40:10 Sounds good. Not familiar with the storms that much.
murder Member	Tue Sep 27 10:43:57 The potential for a clusterfuck is high. The track originally had landfall far to the north. It started out in the panhandle and has worked its way all the way down to ~ Venice. So you know people in the Port Charlotte area weren't really preparing. Now they've got < 48 hours before the storm surge submerges half the area.
murder Member	Tue Sep 27 10:46:05 "Apparently Tampa doesn't normally get hurricanes but this one is headed straight toward them, so they're especially potentially buttfucked." The current forecast track has landfall south of Tampa, so unless that changes they won't get hit that bad.
Sam Adams Member	Tue Sep 27 13:42:01 This storm looks very pissed on satellite. Eyewall full of lightning. Pressure plunging. Should be cat 4 or 5 soon. Far enough from landfall where she might peak too soon.
murder Member	Tue Sep 27 23:15:49 Jason Disharoon @Jason_Disharoon Model timing shows the center of #Ian coming onshore at the worst possible time for the folks around Ft Myers and Port Charlotte: High tide This would make the storm surge threat end up on the higher end of estimates which are 8-12 ft according to @NHC_Atlantic @weatherchannel http://twi...oon/status/1574940229940940800
Sam Adams Member	Wed Sep 28 09:38:05 Surge should be higher than 12 feet in a few places.
williamthebastard Member	Wed Sep 28 14:28:25 How far from the eye of the storm to Mar-a-Lago?
Sam Adams Member	Wed Sep 28 14:35:30 Far.
williamthebastard Member	Wed Sep 28 14:43:37 More proof God doesnt exist
murder Member	Wed Sep 28 15:03:20 "How far from the eye of the storm to Mar-a-Lago?" Mar-a-Lago is ~ 130 miles away and a bit to the south ... but it's on the east coast of Florida.
murder Member	Wed Sep 28 18:07:54 ABC News @ABC Work is underway to restore power to Cuba, after Hurricane Ian knocked out electricity to the entire island. http://twitter.com/ABC/status/1575245516232970240 The entire fucking island nation.
habebe Member	Wed Sep 28 21:00:07 Yeah, this is a bad storm. I read 160 MPH (260 KMH) winds. 26 states sent preemptive aid to FLA, 47k lineman, Blackhawk helicopters. And people wonder why the power goes out. http://twi...?t=Uk63vWijENwLYj0-jJhd1g&s=19
habebe Member	Wed Sep 28 21:01:07 The above video I posted is crazy. That was a 1st floor.
habebe Member	Wed Sep 28 21:07:47 Its crazy how similiar the climate change cultists and religious people sound. You would think this is the first hurricane that FLA ever had. Murder, Did you have to evacuate? My aunt ended up going further inland to a school. She said von drink she vould ve vasted. Lol
murder Member	Wed Sep 28 23:31:23 I'm on the opposite coast. Apparently Ian is going up your way as soon as it's done fucking shit up down here.
habebe Member	Wed Sep 28 23:51:24 Yeah, we get alot of sloppy seconds from FLA. Mostly heavy rains, but Mathew dropped a tree in my parents house.
murder Member	Fri Sep 30 10:43:04 Stephen Jones @Tornado_Steejo Significant storm surge beginning in Pawleys Island, SC! No way off the island now! #HurricaneIan #Scwx #ian http://twitter.com/Tornado_Steejo/status/1575865651524038658

Dukhat Member	Fri Sep 30 11:04:15 We should just abandon florida.
murder Member	Fri Sep 30 11:16:01 Ian already abandoned Florida.
Habebe Member	Fri Sep 30 13:31:13 Yup, he is here. First time Ive had internet in a few hours. All.of a sudden Ingot 17 million notifications.
Habebe Member	Fri Sep 30 13:33:53 I happen to be looking oit the window while on the phone with my sister and watched a tree fall out front. Not really much to damage. Id suspected that tree would fall for 2 years now, so Im not surprised. Easy fire wood, its been half dead for a while.

murder Member	Fri Sep 30 17:07:44 Flooding is likely to be the significant issue. I think earlier like half the state and a good chunk of North Carolina were under some sort of flash flood warning.
Hrothgar Member	Fri Sep 30 17:22:01 Sam Adams hasn't posted in this thread since the 28th - did he survive?! He's in Florida somewhere correct?
murder Member	Fri Sep 30 17:54:56 I don't think he is. There's nothing to climb in Florida unless he wants to start scaling buildings.
murder Member	Fri Sep 30 17:57:24 And Sam posted yesterday in this thread ... http://www...hread=90680&time=1664572573841
Sam Adams Member	Fri Sep 30 19:19:24 "He's in Florida somewhere correct? " That was a LONG time ago.
murder Member	Mon Oct 03 04:37:34 The death toll is up to ~ 87, so the collective IQ of the state is creeping up.
Habebe Member	Mon Oct 03 07:06:30 "so the collective IQ of the state is creeping up." Explains the shift from a purple state into solid red.
