Why do you say that?

Re: Single hurricane thread
My uncle's sister and her idiot MAGA husband live on the water up Ft. Meyers bay about 10 miles from the coast.
He wouldn't evacuate because he's afraid of looters.
He must have a hell of a flat screen.
Their house isn't on stilts. Wonder if we will hear from them again.

He's very worried about his pontoon boat also.

Re: Single hurricane thread
MSNBC is reporting live from Naples - under 5 feet of water, on its way to 8 feet at "8 or 9 pm".
Cat 4, just 2 mph short of Cat 5.
High tide arrives shortly, eye landfall right now 3:13 pm EDT - looks like Bokeelia or thereabouts. Other than the track that affects the most people , this could not be worse.

I didn't even think about the broader implications of what I posted.

Re: Single hurricane thread
Make that 11 Atlantic hurricanes that start with 'I' that have been retired since 2001 . They're saying that Ian is at least the 5th strongest to ever strike the US. I'm not sure what the starting year is on that.Vrede too wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 12:30 amYep, Tropical Storm Ian rather than Hermine. Up to a Cat 4 , but in theory just a Cat 1 when it strikes in billy.pilgrim's hood. That's the American model. The European model says Tampa gets smacked by a Cat 3.

Ut-oh.
... Meanwhile, Super Typhoon Noru stomped the Philippines last night, passing just north of Manila. Millions in the path, next up Vietnam.
Noru was downgraded to a Cat 2 before stomping Da Nang head on, marginally better.
Tropical Storm Roke is meandering off Japan, probably not a threat.

Re: Single hurricane thread
Same EXACT spot that "strong Category 4" Hurricane Charley made landfall in 2004 . DerSantis is on TV saying that Charley and Ian had the same landfall strength, but that Ian's impact is more widespread and is "much much worse" . 500 mile wide Ian is moving at only 8 mph overnight at an oblique NE angle across a 200 mile wide state.
wunderground.com still says TS, but weather dude just said it MIGHT strengthen to a hurricane for landfall #2. Right now Beaufort, SC, between Savannah and Charleston, is in the crosshairs.

Re: Single hurricane thread
The video of water being pushed OUT of Tampa and Sarasota Bays is amazing, 9 feet or more. Look it up on YT or on the websites of the news and weather stations.

He may never find the boat.
They're sheltering in the second floor of a neighbors house.
Water is up to their roof.
