Here is a list of shelters in Pinellas and surrounding counties for any kiwis in the area if it looks like it might get too bad to ride out and you can make it

also a cat 1 or 2 wouldn't do shit to disney

If they’re hunkered down, sure. In some fantasy world where they try having an open park with all amenities and guests and get hit with Cat 2 winds, someone’s getting smeared by a flying turkey leg stand.

I want to believe. If you wish upon a star, it doesn't matter where you are

i meant to the facilities. you'd be an idiot to go to an amusement park during a hurricane or to accept the liability of letting them there.

Adding this to the list of things I would pay to see.

The turkey leg would be more expensive than the settlement for injuries, thats the funny part.

I see your 10k lb straps and raise you my neighborhood. This is also a neighbor (in case the images aren't enough to make you aware.)

I'm sure that tiny length of flex tape on the board is going to bear the entire load of the hurricane and the house will be just fine, bet you'll feel silly after that.

Woah, hang on buddy. That's gorilla tape, alright. That shit will hold anything. I didn't catch it in the video but he also taped a piece of foam to the unsupported corner of the wood so it didn't blow out the window.

Also, notice the middle board on the image is only taped. The upper and lower piece are wedged in behind the stucco "stone" facade. Not even a token nail.

Maybe Hurricane Nadine will come in on the eastern side of Florida and wipe out Disney World, if Milton doesn’t do it.

Billy mays would come out of his grave and pimp smack you if he heard you say this. I know thats not the guy who was selling it but he wouldn't let his as seen on t.v product get insulted by your whore mouth.

Just heard it's at 908mb right now, last I heard was 906mb, was 902 earlier iirc. Are we seeing the beginning of the weakening trend that's been predicted to happen before it approaches FL, or nah?

 

[2 Faces 2 Colours]

How the hell does anyone even live in Florida.

 

[Dharma bump]

Is there a recovery tips and tricks thread for these kind of events?

Yesterday, I made a joke post showing the hurricane going 90 degrees northbound into Tallahassee and up through the Carolinas. Well, I check the news today and

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT PURPLE LINE

NO NO NO NO NO

 

[Punished Brent]

It’s really not a very big deal. People are just going to lose power for like a month. Northerners are always really alarmed by a little rain and wind in a flat state

 

[PFM]

Has Florida ever been smashed between a hurricane coming from the Gulf and one from the Atlantic? That'd be pretty cool to see (minus the devastation ofc)

It's a single track. It may or may not pan out to be the case, but usually when you have a massive outlier like that which deviates from every other track, it's generally considered an unlikely scenario.

again, orlando is very inland especially disney which is on the west side of it

 

[George Lucas]

So the hurricane is taking longer to hit wind shear due to the more southern path which is helping it keep up intensity. So it looks like it will have more intensity than what I hoped. Still hitting as a cat 3 but I think a cat 4 is a real outlying possibility.

lmao wtf is this meme prediction
