I'd be shocked if you could name the sciences and put them in order. It's the science..lol.

Dennis, Frances, Jean, Ivan, Katrina, Wilma... and I am sure there were others.

Also Andrew hit as a Cat 5... in 1992.

Storms like Milton are bad enough that the additional "unprecedented" hyperbole is unnecessary... and historically inaccurate.
I know, right?

Every damn storm I have to listen to “this” storm was worse than “that” storm. I don’t understand those conversations.

You can. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Not sure why he’s making a fuss over it.

I'm sure you technically can - but they are loud and disruptive. I'm guessing most only turn them on overnight if absolutely necessary.

So far the reports from neighbors is no surge or rain flooding. Downed power lines and trees but no obvious damage to roofs or houses. So if all that flying debris didn’t hit your house, you may be okay.

I live on an island. There are two bridges off and into the island. they had downed power lines laying across the road keeping people from getting to their homes. So a guy gets out of his car, picks up the power lines and moves them to the side of the road. Only in Florida.

Hearing from the sources on the ground it was kinda a weak ass storm

It's usually said by media types trying to hype up the latest storm for self-serving reasons.

And having personally experienced the impacts of Hurricane Andrew... that is a high precedent threshold to surpass.

If power goes out here and you walk outside I can hear at least a half dozen whole house generators going 24/7. Didn’t realize people turned them off unless they’re limited on fuel.

BleedingRed 10-10-2024 08:07 AM
Right?

The hype in the weather channel or news is disgusting... Just give it to me straight.

Also this,

In Texas we run those things all day and only turn off for like 4-6 hours in maybe middle of night.

Hopefully he was standing in at least 5 inches of salt water to improve conductivity when he conducting this heroic feat.

If you're going to make the Darwin awards do it right. :thumb:

there is a good reason "a Florida man" is a meme.

Today, a Florida man died when he was moving an electrical wire from the road.
