Guess that isn't always true It was true. A lot of things are very different going forward than we've encountered before. How long until living in Florida is uninsurable? A decade?

There will be a bunch of stuff you never see from land being pushed right across the entire state of Florida. That's fucked up. And who knows where the fuck these birds finally end up. Gotta be a death sentence for migratory birds. I lost an entire colony of Purple Martins a few years ago after decades of success. Some weather event got them. Any bird lawyers here?
October 9, 20241 yr So its movement has sped up? Hopefully the amount of time that areas spend under hurricane force winds will be greatly diminished. Eyewall already coming on shore apparently, hours ahead of schedule.
October 9, 20241 yr Just an observation... A corollary to dirty side/clean side of the storm; Tampa and the west coast of Florida faces west, Biloxi-Lake Charles-Houston faces south. If you rotate the map ~ 90 °. you get this. From this perspective, even with Milton making landfall towards Sarasota, it seems like the counter-clockwise rotation is still going to push a lot of water into Tampa Bay, especially with the way Tampa Bay makes a hook (true north, towards the left of the rotated picture). Water is smart, it will find the lowest elevation. I know, ... like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, ... Florida is gonna get smacked. Edited October 9, 20241 yr by PTINS typo. text.

October 9, 20241 yr If it is on the internet it must be true, right? I was familiar with the Waffle House Index, but today I learned that Waffle House has an actual storm center. I have no idea how this escaped me until today. I refuse to believe this is anything but 100% true.

I think the migrants are smart enough to not fly right into the storm. You can use live radar (birdcast.info) to see where they're moving and basically nothing is passing through Florida at the moment, nor are they expected to tonight. But I guess you are right in that the little guys staging to cross the Gulf that are already in Florida might be in a bit of trouble. Edited October 9, 20241 yr by hookem2010
October 9, 20241 yr Checked out the Weather Channel’s coverage. Saw a guy reporting outside of a house, with its sprinklers on, in the hurricane.

Mostly true, but I've been 130 miles out in the gulf and had woodland songbirds amass on our boat. Gave water when they would take it. They usually flew off when we got underway.
October 10, 20241 yr Eye is coming ashore around Venice. An awesome little town with a really strong HS football team. Used to have a ww2 training base there and a great surfing jetty for gulf surf.

They usually flew off when we got underway. It's incredible that these things that weigh less than an ounce cross the Gulf of Mexico without stopping, overnight, twice a year. OK, I'll stop. Back to the hurricane.

October 10, 20241 yr Follow up on dog rescued tied to the fence post (mother fuckers do this shit should be jailed.) everyone wants to adopt Spuds McKenzie there. SIAP. I don’t have time to sit and read thread yet. But this shit upsets me so fucking much. At least this dog is ok. I’m glad the troopers saw him. Nichole, you have one job to do! If there ever is a person near water/you…

October 10, 20241 yr It was true. A lot of things are very different going forward than we've encountered before. How long until living in Florida is uninsurable? A decade?Wow, I was just thinking about the insurance thing about an hour ago. It may go a similar route as flood insurance? Who knows.

October 10, 20241 yr Get back to me when there are bodies in treesYou got your wish. Already a bunch of deaths.
October 10, 20241 yr I think Brad (Punta Gorda) and Bryce (Venice) on the storm chasers site have trapped them selves inside of the storm surge. Winds actually seem less than the last one right now. Edited October 10, 20241 yr by Hook1997
