[News] Hurricane Milton, Florida

[AZ Gull]

Would you keep driving towards this / those?

It doesn't invalidate your point, but that video was taken in 2014 and posted on twitter back in February 2020 (if not before):-

Love the way that, at the end, there's a guy pulled up in what looks like a mini as if he's having a sandwich and hot drink from his flask whilst watching the tornados pass.

I'm more worried about my local forecast for BN25!

I've just seen forecast for BN1. It's the same It must be an error ?

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.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

Sadly I see the Tampa Baseball Stadium Dome Roof has been destroyed, had a great evening with the family watching the Tampa Bay Rays a few years ago

Shurely shome mishtake?

You're being a bit dramatic there Dick. Your attachment says 3754, falling to 3751 later this morning.

Nah, everything has been downgraded, however the storm surge has yet to really arrive, the news in America is really doing what they do best, making it more dramatic than it is (NBC reporter live in a t-shirt and baseball cap telling the public signs are banging due to the wind & a garage door blew open on it's own, that is how powerful the storm is.) buildings get shredded every year, this is not as big as expected yet.

Nope, after all the hype..

Not my attachment. That was the one I called lightweight.

I saw last night that the Trop was being used to house up to 10k first responders, and my immediate thought was "that roof wont see the night out if its in the direct path of the storm"...

Well, the roof has gone, but thankfully everybody was safe.

My mate and his family are also safe - staying in a hotel up around the Orlando area for a few days.

Been discussed on radio 5.

Apparently there is a 'glitch'.

Apparently the "glitch" will be receiving their P45 shortly.

You don't expect that sort of thing to happen on the BBC.

Pretty scary in Portslade

Don't you mean their QPR45000?
