Unless they live in a flood prone area, near a lake, or near a marsh/swamp, no need to leave. Orlando will be fine probably. Only real worries are wind damage, isolated EF0-EF1 tornadoes, rain, and flooding due to rain.

Ditto for the mid-Florida East Coast where I'm at. It was like this when Irma hit 2 months after we moved down.
 
Oh, I think I get it now. The cities near the coast shut off their power grid to prevent electrical damage from the hurricane. Fires, shock, that sort of thing.
 
Yeah, might be a big break for Tampa Bay area. If you are in the vicinity of a monster hurricane, the left side relative to the hurricane's path is where you want to be. The upper right quadrant is where the wind and surge are the worst. South of Sarasota is going to get wrecked.

Fuck Cat5, all my real niggers are at Cat 7 or 6a. At least spring for Cat 5e and don't be a fucking poor.

For the faggots thinking about survivability, the problem isn't the winds, it's the water. You can't survive 10 feet of storm surge under gale-force winds.

Did power already go out in some areas? Clearwater is pitch black; that is scary as fuck. Godspeed to those that couldn't evacuate in time. Something about seeing the neon lights in that feed in an empty city is eerily calm.

The Scientologists have commandeered the power grid to keep the Super Power Building in Clearwater functioning! They have to activate the time machine inside lest the evil Lord Xenu escape his eternal prison! Trust me bro, they're saving humanity. Xenu's minions in the government probably used the weather control to send the hurricane their way.
 
New track is sort of better for Tampa. Sarasota and Venice beach on the other hand better start puckering their Anus. The storm isn't making its expected northward turn yet, which is pointing to landfall further south of Tampa Bay rather then right up it. Which is not to say Tampa isn't going to get its socks rocked. It will. Also, if you live on or anywhere near those barrier islands along that stretch of coast and don't evacuate, you are going to die. The wind shear isn't going to do enough looks like. Milton is going to stay a Cat 5 for awhile now, and will only start losing steam on appraoch, to "only" a Cat 4. There is a very good possibility that entire shoreline will get deleted.

 
I hope that this hurricane doesn't send even more subhuman browns and Spics up north from Florida. Please fuck off, the invasion is already at an apocalyptic level up here in the north. All you're gonna do is recreate your third world shitholes, you will not be able to suck off white people if you all come up here, you can only get gibs from white people if it's just some of you up here.

I fear the day that the big earthquake hits the west coast and sends all the west coast subhumans east, flooding us. When that happens, state National Guards out east should, and they won't, but should open fire on all Californians that flee east when the earthquake hits.

What would kill you first? The massive waves? Flooding? Being swept away by the currents? Drowning? Electrocution?

just an IT nerd that fucked their mainframe.

Actually, that explains it. You fucked up the weather factory's mainframe; that's why hurricane season this year has been as schizo as your posts. If you hadn't fucked it up, we would be having normal weather, but no, you had to go and push that system update despite the warning message, didn't you? Now, one by one, each state in the US will be erased from the Earth by a massive freak hurricane caused by the weather factory mainframe going haywire.

Good job fucking up everything, schizo.

I have some question for you Kiwis who are less retarded and schizo.

I'm trying to understand what kind of damage we can expect, and how it will be different from the damage Helene caused to Appalachia. In Appalachia, the ground was already soaked and loose from previous rains, and it seems most of the damage was caused by landslides and rivers flooding over their banks. All that water moving downhill eroded the ground, cut away roads, scraped buildings from their foundations, and buried things under tons of mud.

How does this compare to storm surge? Will storm surge similarly rip buildings from their foundations, or will buildings just take the usual standing water damage (e.g. shorted electrics, mold and rot in the frame and drywall, rusted fittings, soaked furniture, etc)?

How big of a danger are the winds? I understand that Florida has some extra requirements to its building codes because of the danger of hurricane-force winds, but hurricanes usually don't make landfall at full category 5 strength do they? Are buildings really going to hold up to that much wind from a direct hit?

If buildings aren't blown away or torn apart by the wind directly, there's still the danger of flying debris, right? So the hurricane could pick up trees, cars, Ralph if it picked him in Mexico, and just slam them into a house. At that point, with the building structure compromised, could the winds then start tearing the house apart in little chunks, and using those pieces-of-house to smash apart other houses?

Houses, which are usually wood-framed, being torn apart by the hurricane makes sense, but how much danger are Tampa's commercial building in? Commercial buildings are usually made of concrete, cinderblocks, or concrete and steel. The Wells Fargo Center isn't really going to care if some of its windows are smashed out by flying cars is it? The hurricane would have to at least throw Ralph into it, right?

i have relations in Orlando who are retarded and won't evac from their double-wide trailer. are they killed?

Not necessarily killed, Orlando is further inland from the west coast and its expected to go down to a 2-3 by the time it reaches them. If they aren't near anything dangerous they should live though them being in a trailer is very, very concerning.

Tell them to at least pay attention to Tornado Warnings. They will probably be fine, but Orlando is going to get the intense outerband thunderstorms during final approach and those tend to drop tornados. Which you don't want to be in a double wide if it comes knocking.
