Yeah, she’s only been down there for like 10 years, so i’m sure she’s heard every year about a “big storm” coming and she was fine, but this one seems different, and it still looks to be headed directly at Tampa.

I understand some people don’t have the means to leave, but people who chose to stay are fukkin crazy to me:smh:
what zone is she in?

I feel like TikTok is showing its worth right now. Of al the coverage so far, it's the most up front and on the ground coverage I've seen from people living through this. Some of are evacuatees, and some decided to stay. It's really terrifying and a lot of it isn't been shown on the news.
Post links please.

I honestly don’t know. My mother is freaking out. She went to visit her last year and says she lives “right near the water”

She says she lives on a hill so she will be fine.

I don’t even know what to think at this point. :smh:
Coastal erosion risks though

I talked about that in another thread. Even in South Carolina we've had those threats of the massive storm that was going to fukk shyt up and it was never as bad as predicted so people become numb to it. I'm with you though in that this one seems different and people need to find a way out. Too late now to be convincing people.

Man my cousin just said hes in Tampa right this minute. Dude didnt mention he was in Tampa this whole time, now hes saying its too late to leave and hes stuck.

I aint talked to him in years but he’s actually the 1 who shaped my whole life into what it is now ( convinced me to join the marine corps).

I feel for him but at the same time this nikka knew to get out. He said he think its supposed to go more south than originally projected but every thing I see says hes about to take a direct hit
Two of my neighbors decided to ride it out. I begged them to leave

Yeah Hurricanes suck. The only thing you usually have to worry about in the South is crazy humidity; tornadoes in the spring and fall and ice storms in the winter. Those events are usually isolated to certain sections of the South at a time. People are usually completely oblivious to how dangerous Hurricanes are in the South, especially once they get into the Gulf of Mexico. People forget that when you live in the South you are not far from the Gulf of Mexico. Even if you are hundreds of miles inland a Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico is still a potential danger to inland people because Hurricanes are hundreds of miles wide and once in the Gulf in those warm waters you have a big ass destructive freight train coming right at you: because once in warm Gulf waters every Hurricane speeds up to a Category 3, 4 or 5.
:huhldup:

the south is going to be looking like south east asia ones the sahara stops becoming a barrier for the currents coming from africa. Parts of the Sahara are already turning green again. no sand moist in the atlantic air is bad for the south(mostly florida)

I swear Trump/MAGA/Covid has fueled way too many extreme conspiracy theorists. No way I should be seeing this many people believe Government using weather machine to create Hurricanes.

Our friends evacuated to our place and they are on that wave. “The government wanted to destroy Asheville to get the lithium” and “they are controlling the weather because it’s election time” …

I always had a feeling they were secretly on the Trump Train, but now I’m 100% convinced.
