Catastrophic Destruction Leaving Hundreds Dead In Florida Hurricane Aftermath

Since this storm is still going, here's link to Ryan Hall Y'all YTer. Arguably one of the best outside of the profession doing his thing.

Because the msm said it was going to Tampa.

Cell phone reception, even for texts, is spotty.

Was supposed to have been 'hardened' after charlie, but obviously not enough.

Have family down there to. Getting sporadic texts.

They actually didn't, you've clearly never tried to evac during a hurricane clearly. The traffic is insane and only certain parts of Florida evac.

There was only 1 model in all of the spaghetti models that predicted its landfall.. Everything was predicting it hitting further north until it was already to late to get out.

judge not lest the be judged.

Because

Uh thats bs they said it would hit at a CAT4 and it did

it’s a hurricane, with a huge storm surge

that’s not something you face on your feet, this isn’t a test of faith lol

if you think it is then that’s what natural selection is all about

Me either. I was there and drove back to Pa. Because there was really no safe place.

Don't know what you were watching, but obviously the wrong crap. Even Reed Timmer lost his vehicle covering the storm surge

Equal or worse, May3 1999 Moore OK. It even pulled grass/weeds out of the ground

I remember silly questions like this after Hurricane Katrina.

What officials said at that time (and still applies to
Hurricane IAN)...with the out-wash of the waters bodies
float out to sea. Many are never recovered.

Sad...but true.

That is FORT MYERS BEACH!!!!!

Not downtown Fort Myers, which is 5 miles inland.

Press is covering it all wrong too.

Electric vehicles and the evacuation of Florida


Depending on how heavily loaded they were, even assuming everyone had a full battery charge, cars from southern Florida would start running out of juice after 100 – 250 miles. They would then have to spend hours at recharging stations, which would rapidly be clogged with other cars and trucks waiting their turn, since an electricity “fill up” can easily take an hour or more, as compared to a couple of minutes for gasoline. Cars waiting to be charged would spill onto the highways, potentially blocking traffic.

that is the main reason i left in 1982, hard to make ends
meet with those low ass wages, other than that i loved the
state and all the beaches!

Exactly.

To make matters worse, the lying bastards didn’t pay attention to the air currents which lacked the power and intensity to blow the fucking thing northward and into Tampa.

The air currents were NEVER in a position to make it get to Tampa, and anyone with a fucking brain should have been on the fucking TV to say that.

But nooooooo…..

We had to get nothing but lies and bullshit from the fucking TV “scientists” who know Jack shit about anything.

As I stated earlier, I copied the text from the tweet (to identify the content since there are a hundred plus twitter links).

…..And people had the right to be pissed then, just as they have the right to be pissed now.

The fucking air currents were NEVER in place to push the fucking storm into Tampa, and anyone who is scientifically honest knew that the whole fucking time.

But nooooooo…..

All we got was lies and bullshit about Tampa being 10 feet under water and all this shit that NEVER could have happened.

It was all lies, whether intentional or based on fucking stupidity.

The air currents were never there to propel the fucking thing straight north.

it will be in the thousands but we will never get an official report--migrants and illegals maaaan.

It seemed over hyped as far as wind speeds. Like 100mph winds or 90 even, would be impossible to stand up in like the guy holding the sign. But, I have seen nothing like Andrew barreling through there. 155mph and there'd be scarcely a roof left. But, the aftermath I saw they just showed some boats rocked out of their berths. Small trees down and flooded streets. Yeah, water damage not wind damage.
This is coming concurrent with King Tides and so water would be more of a problem in any case. We are having high water in the Atlantic 200 miles from the storm.

85 of my employees live in Ft Myers, I just hope they are all OK.

I'm just glad you got out of there in time!!!!!!

My MIL was in Port Charlotte in an assisted living facility for rehab. They moved her to Sarasota. Suppose to be moved back tomorrow but I'm not sure that will happen if the power is out. She is old with dementia and scared. Not fun dealing with from Colorado. One of her son's might even go down to move her to Texas rehab.

They only evacuated the facility the day before on the extreme side of safety because it was NOT under Evacuation Orders until it was too late.

Selvig should slither back to Israel.

You mean suicide.

That is sad. So many elderly people were caught in this.

A lot of storms get hyped & people end up spending their savings evacuating for no reason. Then when they really should leave, they've been had too many times. They end up staying & dying.

After Andrew and other storms, structures were built to withstand future hurricanes.
