Master-Debater131 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/09/25/ian-could-become-major-hurricane-targets-florida-what-we-know/8113790001/ Hurricane Ian is heading toward Florida and may be the first major hurricane to make landfall this year. Some models have this storm as potentially a Category 4 when it makes its first landfall somewhere on the West coast of Florida. A state of emergency has already been declared for the entire state of Florida and resources are being deployed in advance of the storms impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemming Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I have relatives in Florida, like many thrice land locked mud turtles. Hope they are going to be ok, or they’re able to get out if it turns greazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Debater131 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Ian is a cat 4 and isnt far away from landfall. It really strengthened overnight and is a pure monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Doppler radar from Tampa has started to see winds over 170 MPH near to, and in, the eye wall. This storm is going to flatten a rather large area of Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Somehow we’re not in the path at all. We’re on the coast of Alabama and it’s windy and choppy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I have a buddy at the gym who’s planning on moving down to Florida. He was apparently supposed to check on the property this week when this all went down. Naturally he canceled his flight. I can only imagine how many people being affected are those with nest eggs and retirement homes there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's always a concern are the silent majority of wage slaves and indigent who will be disproportionately impacted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not at all. Was stuck listening to Fox the other day on a service run, they were having some rando from some moving company down there talking about the work they'd be prepping for and everything, idk, not important. But, bust out laughing as he closed out his segment with "thank god we've got DeSantis." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 First reports are starting to come in for the damage, and its not great. It sounds like in one county the death toll is going to be in the hundreds. There are thousands still in need of rescue. This storm likely permanently altered the map of Florida. The storm surge was massive and the rainfall totals are biblical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Ian barely scraped past me, so I got lucky with tropical storm weather and some tornadoes I had to watch out for. Still very nerve wracking, especially since Ian has been steering just about everywhere on short notice. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
