Catastrophic Destruction Leaving Hundreds Dead In Florida Hurricane Aftermath

I say the weather channel is largely responsible. They were the ones who hyped up storms past few years that turned out to be nothing burgers. boy who cried wolf too many times, so when the real one came many people didn't take it seriously.

plus fort meyer people were told up until 24 hours before strike that tampa, not fort meyer, would be hit. too late really by then to get out so they hunkered down (and died).

This is what happens when the earth warms 0.0014 degrees the last 1100 years people.

More about this will be coming soon.

This storm was a record breaker in size. It was one of the 4 largest to ever hit the state in the last 100 years.

Actually, most DID evacuate. Sadly, the storm was of such a magnitude that people were literally stuck in traffic on the 408 as that thing hit. I live here. I was in the orange "voluntary" evacuation zone, but that's a judgement call based on your property and shelter. Most of us DON'T all just run for the hills because there is a definite MANDATORY evacuation in the strike zone. The rest of us who are not in the red usually batten down rather than join the millions who have to leave.

Even with days in advance, did you know that jobs do NOT give you time off to prep? They don't. So we all basically have the 2 or 3 days to get out. Did you know the highways can't accomodate that many people trying to leave at once? They can't, and the WORST thing to do is to get stuck in traffic and get hit while in your car. I'm willing to bet a good many deaths are people who were in the process of evacuating, NOT people who chose to batten down and stay. Floridians are well versed in hurricane prep, but we have currently hundrends of thousands of people who came here to live due to economy/vaccine mandates, etc....who had no idea what a hurricane even really was....and that's another area where you will see fatalities. People who had no idea.

Hurricane Andrew killed 65 people.........

'Hundreds' is an extreme amount for a random storm, as an initial casualty projection.

What are we really talking? and why?

What the fuck is a "random storm"? Stupid is thick on this thread.

This will be severely over-used for Climate Change propaganda.

Were they just not expecting it to be so bad in their area ?

We had less hurricanes this year than most. Idiots.

Have no idea why people did not evacuate.

Sad.

Blaming hurricanes on climate change is like blaming a gun for democrat released criminal killing innocent people…uh

That’s sad, they had plenty of time to get out…

Right but anyone with a brain would understand that a storm this big is unpredictable and plan accordingly.

I am empathetic but also a realist. If you were anywhere on the west coast of Florida you should have made some type of movement.

Don't assume the track they predict is legit. Assume they know jack shit and do what you need to do.

even if you survive the aftermath is horrible

try living without power for 2 weeks

fuck that shit

GTFO

anything over a cat 3 I'm out
