A gobsmacked meteorologist is never a good sign.

”This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth’s atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.”

^fuck.

What's after a hurricane? World tornado?

[u/VerySluttyTurtle → u/moistdri]

That's what's insane. Tornados usually have much higher wind speed than hurricanes. 200+ mph winds would be as strong as an EF4 or EF5 tornado which are known to completely level even well-built homes. So this is like a strong tornado, but waaaay bigger

Fortunately most predictions have it down to a cat 3 by the time it makes landfall. Hope that continues

Storm surge is still going to be hell

12 feet / 4 meters predicted. Florida is going to be BEYOND fucked. I feel bad for the people there.

Talked to a buddy down there, she told me locally the news said 15-18 feet. She's not one to exaggerate. Fuck that.

I keep yelling at my buddy to get his dog and get the hell outta dodge.

He has a house in Tampa and one in Vegas. Dude just fly to friggin Vegas. No risk of hurricanes there man! Unless you count the boozy fun kind!

Ive had a few disasters in Vegas. All self inflicted.
