By Jazzy Jambalaya Go To Postahh, i gotcha now.Like the one that sat on Houston.
i guess i just grew up desensitized to them for whatever reason. they only get on my radar once it becomes evident that they will impact near my area. honestly, the ones that scare me the most, even if it doesn't make sense, are the ones that just sit in the gulf and get bigger and bigger because you have no idea what size they will be, when they will start moving again, or in which direction they will end up going. fuck those indecisive bastards.
By Jazzy Jambalaya Go To Postduring hurricane season, there are always a handful of active storms at any given time. it's more rare for there to be only a single hurricane active in the area.They don't typically congregate in the same area one after another -- especially at Katrina strength
they just generally aren't publicized much if they are far away or haven't yet achieved hurricane status. used to track them all the time using the storm tracker kits they gave out at mcdonalds as part of kids happy meals.
Well, now your aunts can build anti-flood walls with all extra-absorbent toilet paper they've been hoarding...
One roll of toilet paper from that street light to the other one, Becky. Trish, you bring another roll my way, come on.
By reilo Go To PostThey don't typically congregate in the same area one after another – especially at Katrina strengthThere have been some occasions where it looked like it might have been, but the storms weakened significantly before getting close to landfall. It’s really annoying how a tropical storm can morph into a cat 3 within a couple days and vice versa.
They're expecting gusts up to 150mph when Milton makes landfall...
This video is terrifying.

As Hurricane Milton roars toward Florida, forecasters say it’s likely to hit as Cat 4

This thing is doing to be stronger than Katrina
By Kabro Go To Posthttps://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article293623624.htmlKatrina was a cat 3 when it hit land but most of the damage it caused was with floods, not wind. There have been several hurricanes stronger than Katrina that have caused far less damage and loss of life. A graphic from 2022:

Milton is 100 miles away and Naples is already at a 3' storm surge. Apparently the surge will be bolstered by a high tide tonight too.
I was told I could push waves up to reasonable levels between 9 and 11 if Sandra is also pushing water while collating
