Some serious tornado action in central Florida ahead of the hurricane making landfall.

Pardon my ignorance, but these hurricanes/tornadoes aren’t a 21st century thing, they’ve always happened, is it because its an apparent media frenzy so we get to see all the evacuation process and the aftermath of the extreme weather conditions?
Or is this actually worse than in previous decades and part of the effects of global warming?

its not new, there's a dozen or two hurricanes every year. most fizzle out beofre landfall or track off across the sea. the frenzy is because this one is cat 4-5, the strongest, and smashing straight into a high population area. no one cared about the cat 5 hurricane Beryl in June, which weakend before crossing Yucatan peninsula.
Cant say I am a massive fan of his, but Ron Desantis always seems impressive in these situations

DeSantis, Harris, Biden and Florida’s attorney general have all sung from the same hymn sheet on this. Nice to see party politics ditched for once. Warning of the extreme danger to life from the storm surge, to evacuate.
The outlier, no surprise, is the sh1t stirring rapist Trump.
I can't see that anyone had mentioned Trump in this thread before you!

Wasn’t that Steve Austin?

Brain dead MUG SHEEP
She's probably blaming the hurricanes on those pesky Jewish space lasers.
Meantime in the wake of Helene, Trump is still busily spreading bullshit saying that billions of emergency funds for hurricane victims are being spent on housing for illegal immigrants (they're not), disaster victims are only receiving a total of $750 each (they're not, thats only athe initial up-front emergency payment), Biden didn't speak to the governor of Georgia (he did), and there was no helicoptor rescues in North Carolina (there were 146 flight missions rescuing 548 people and 150 pets).
What a GUY

I was in Florida in 2005 for Hurricane Katrina and memory of it was two fold.
1. The sheer amount of water that fell out the sky. It was obviously windy but the rain was something else. It ended up coming out the light fitting in our room.
2. We were staying at a hotel in the Florida Keyes and were having breakfast whilst it was absolutely pissing down and the wind was causing literally everything to rattle whether it moved or not. I wandered past a couple of Americans on the way out who I'd met the previous day and said "See you by the pool"
The husband looked at me and said "Aw man, I don't think it's open today" Facking hell.
Wishing everyone all the best over there.

My son's mate in Fort Pierce, north of Miami, says tornado sirens have been going. He says there were 16 tornadoes, 2 miles from his house, down to 9 about an hour ago.
Ignorance is a good description of your blind spot as plenty of media are explaining why this particular hurricane is an issue.
You are correct in asserting that there have always been hurricanes/tornadoes. But the ‘new’ thing is power rather than frequency so much. In terms of media coverage, this isn’t quantum physics so the observer does not affect the outcome.
The sea is too warm. The warmer the sea, the more powerful the hurricane. 165mph winds and 15ft storm surges have not always happened.
I suspect the Daily Mail and Sun have come up with non-scientific reasons why the sea is too warm but the overwhelming scientific consensus is it’s down to global warming, as ‘woke’ as that probably sounds to you.
