In the news

It's made me want to watch the new Twisters movie

It's shit, watch this instead.

Because they aren't insured and if they stay it will be alright.

My brother in law lives 45 minutes from Tampa. Apparently not in an evacuation zone. They’re staying put, but have options to go to friends houses. Their house doesn’t seem super hurricane proof to me (non-hurricane-expert)

Heard some of them interviewed on the radio - 'The government ain't done nothing for us, we don't trust what the government tells us, we're not going to listen to them, we're staying where we are'. I'm sure it'll be a tragedy if some of these guys don't make it, but it's an ill wind...

To be political, the only people that have done anything to help aren't trump/republicans. The democrats are at least trying with money.

But hey you can't beat stoopid

Some seriously weird bro/geek energy going on there

There were lots of wild anti federal government conspiracies floating around in the aftermath of Helene, I didn't take any notice of any of them because crazy Muricans. Reed Timmer's Helene video showed the desperate situation in North Carolina and he said he didn't spot a single FEMA truck in the way down there. Not great prep for Milton and it looks like there are a couple more storms lining up to hit after this one.

He's an acquired taste for sure, they loosely based the Twisters 'Tornado Wrangler' character on him. IMO he's the best documenter of storms out there, he quite literally never stops chasing.

A lot of my family lives on the hurricane path. The ones near Tampa couldn’t get away because of the traffic. I hope that because they all spent most of their lives dealing with hurricanes in Puerto Rico that they’ve all bought concrete houses like they had back home…

Sending good vibes to them!

Just watched Biden’s address - he came across well. When asked why he thinks Trump is spreading misinformation his response was “I don’t know, I simply don’t know. It’s unAmerican”.

Which is a pretty sharp response.

My cousin's live in the path but in the east coast so they should be fine hopefully

Biden was very impressive yesterday.

In other news. It’s not looking great at home today either.

BBC and Met Office are looking a bit different to each other...

Terrifying! Had me shouting at those people driving their cars.

Stupid is as stupid does!

Yeah - the beeb has "hurricane force winds" right now, and the leaves of the trees aren't even moving. And it doesn't show a weather warning either. Someone's made a booboo.

Not just the BBC. 22,000km/h is going to be quite the headwind.

Might need to gear down a bit to maintain progress.

Wouldn’t matter for long, what with the Earth’s atmosphere being ripped away, entire continents torn asunder, and friction setting fire to everything else.

So have I missed the storms? Or was it a conspiracy to keep people home?
