These "tornadoes" are called "WATER SPOUTS", because they occurred over water.

Floridians should know this.

Fucking idiots.

  • I was supposed to fly to Tampa today for the week but decided to say fuck that and went to our Vegas office. Got a bitch ass email from my director in Denver who is a trumper telling me I didn’t get a

This was last night, down on Ft Lauderdale beach.  Restaurants and bars were packed.  I assume half of Tampa is in town.   Hot (88F at sunset) but clear and breezy.

But he didn't say "muy malo,"  he said "back to the stone age."  In the stone age, humans were using stones to sharpen other stones for tools. That's what the stone age was.  Such an event would be bad --- perhaps very bad ---- but I'm pretty sure that at least the knowledge required for metalworking would survive.

Now you have me pondering how long it would take us to get from stone age or Bronze Age back to now, if there was this big reset and say 20% of the human population survived.  

That's going to depend on where the remaning 20 is, know what I mean? For  example, if it were America...are we being rebuilt by Massachussets, New york, and Minnesota? Or are we being rebuilt by Mississipi, Alabama, and Louisianna?

I mean, we'd be asking SEC country to catch us UP to the stone age, so.....not great.

It was comforting to know that running was useless and that there wouldn’t be any post-event dystopian survival to deal with. 

 

I think everyone loves watching a post-event dystopia - Mad Max, A Boy and his Dog... Whether it be zombies or Hunger Games or a purge, it seems we all have some sort of a fettish to shoot shit up.

Ehh, it's no different than the Dallas Cowboys vs the Washington Redskins and we all know how that turned out.

Debris along Commonwealth Drive clogs the roadway after Hurricane Milton made landfall nearby Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024 in Siesta Key.

that's a neighborhood road in Tampa, which got off relatively light on flooding and (in this neighborhood at least) was about half as high as Helene

That looks a lot like a Shoal Creek homeless camp.

Except that when you’re spotlighting a Shoal Creek homeless camp at night, you normally see eyes staring at you from the edges of the light, wondering if you are there hunting them down.

This is the content I come to surly for.  Unbelievably bad taste yet hilarious.

They could make a 30 for 30 of that thread.

My friend in Palmetto came out unscathed other than losing his fence. His wife’s business in Bradenton “bone dry”. Even a trailer he owns that he rents to his nanny was apparently one of the only ones in the area that survived. 

Not too bad after it looked like a cat 5 was on a path to track right up his driveway on Tuesday  

In his words “used up all 9 lives on this one”

A bit of gallows humor here, but initially I read it as "he came out unscathed other than losing his fiance".  My initial reaction was, "maybe not a loss, depending?"

 

Glad your friend and his family are ok.

Water in Tampa Bay was returning back to normal levels Thursday morning following the passage of Hurricane Milton, which briefly caused "reverse storm surge" in the bay.

National Weather Service meteorologist Tyler Fleming confirmed to USA TODAY that Tampa Bay apparently was spared the massive storm surge that had been feared, instead experiencing a reverse surge that drove water away from the shoreline.

 

Quote

As Hurricane Milton slammed into Florida’s Gulf Coast, a fishing boat captain found himself trapped in the middle of the storm. After battling 25-foot waves and 90 mph winds for hours, he was rescued Thursday afternoon when the U.S. Coast Guard spotted him — adrift in the water and clinging to a cooler.

“This man survived in a nightmare scenario for even the most experienced mariner,” Lt. Cmdr. Dana Grady, the Coast Guard’s command center chief in St. Petersburg, said in a news release.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and say that I don’t think I ever want to be in 25 foot seas with 90 miles an hour wind gusts while holding on to  a cooler. 

He does need to immediately contact the manufacturer of the cooler and make some coin for one of the most bad ass cooler advertisements ever made.

I'd rather be lucky than good anytime.  Take it how you can get it, don't ask questions, be thankful.  Glad for 'em.

Made it through... lost every non-palm tree in our yard. That was a bitch to begin to cleanup. Was only able to tackle the front yard since the back still has about 3" of standing water everywhere. Protip... downed trees sitting in water are seemingly exponentially heavier to move to the curb than ones NOT sitting in water...

Initial reports are... quite good, considering the expectations. Surge on the barrier islands not AS bad as expected, and Sanibel survived with just a scratch compared to Ian. Still no power at our house, but I'd say 10% of the business are open this morning. Stopped to get a coffee and it has never tasted as good as it has this morning.

I guess Lt. Dan turned out to be a piece of shit.  All our heroes are gone.

He told everyone he was before it got big. He said he had a shitty past and that’s why he was where he was.

Perfect timing as florida is target #1, window company scheduler just called to book our install for next wee. Stoked, about hurricane windows and efficiency and what not compared to our current old junk.
