Major Hurricane Milton (Category 3; 125 mph) to strike Florida tonight

[OneDeep]

at Cat 10.


I guess it depends on the part of the state someone is and the structure they have. Worse for the older homes of course. Ones by the coast are more at risk. Especially in Tampa with all that bay water and how the city has been growing a lot in recent years. Prolly gonna see a lot of flooding, kinda like the storm that hit i think last year or 2023 that flooded a bunch of the west coast.

Not to mention the impacts around the eye would just wipe everything out completely

That would wipe out an entire state or more

Maybe @RammerJammer knows about this if it even exists but there should be a website that let's you research these. Like click a drop down box and select the year and it tells you how many were tropical storms or each specific category when hitting landfall. As well as paths, not the cones.

Tampa Brehs be safe

Would Hurricane Hunters be able to fly into a storm that’s stronger that a Cat5

That would be something like they send them out there but they don’t come back

 

[mannyrs13]

Damn, two Katrina type storms (in terms of impact) in a matter of weeks


I live on the 3rd floor so I'm not in danger of drowning or anything like that, but when that power goes out I hope it's not an extended power outage as that would be so trash...

This one prolly be worse for Tampa than Helene since i think that one went more north towards like Panama City Beach area. Of course it was a much bigger size and caused impacts all over. Even down here we felt the wind and rain. That storm surge would be bad especially for all those small islands by the beach.

That's the bad thing about those places. Usually it's big expensive houses but the risk of your shyt flooding during a major storm is high.

Man I'm telling you. I don't know how this technology shyt works or gonna get into a rant about the government or our tax dollars or Ukraine and Israel funding or whatnot. And this might be a military type of thing but i don't know how these motherfukkers spend their money.

But i think we have the tech and ability to build some sort of drone, whether small or big, that can fly maybe not into but above these storms and gather data. I mean unless they already do. But sending some random motherfukkers into the storm should be a thing of the past. Not worth the risk if these shyts getting stronger.

If we get Trump in office he can start nuking storms and saving America

Spoiler

Except when the nukes feed the storms and we get category 10 super hurricanes carrying nuclear fallout

Yes and no

Yes because it will most likely undergo an eyewall replacement cycle and slightly weaken.

The downside to that is that the storm will expand and get bigger so the effects will be over a larger area at landfall.

A large 125 mph Hurricane will still be a catastrophic event, especially when you consider the storm surge.

Remember, Katrina was a 175 mph storm as well but weakened to 125 at landfall and it was still one of the worst natural disasters in modern history.

 

[jdubnyce]

Well I guess the saving grace is that no models predict a cat 5 landfall

Still very dangerous
Please get out if you can brehs/brehettes

I don't know if this part of the storm or that shyt just pushing it but there's heavy storms on the radar being pushed across the southern part of the state thru this evening. Doubt it's the outer bands tho and just storms that were lingering and being pushed by the winds of the hurricane.
