Ian starts doing donuts over Florida, constantly getting boosted every time it goes back over water to be the first forever-ican thanks to climate change

It makes me sad for the future when I go to the Americanwx forums and see educated meteorologists denying climate change and holding up a handful of hurricanes from 1900-1970 as their evidence against it, ignoring the fact that we are having hurricanes of that level on a yearly/biyearly basis now. Of course, the worst offenders are over 60 and earned their degrees back when meteorology was basically sticking your thumb in your mouth and holding it in the air, but even so. America is so loving full of brain worms.

SirPablo posted:Oh yeah those are the takes (comments bunch of Mets and others). Message wasn't received because the public was Florida Man. NHC had very clear messaging that impact was likely from Tampa to Ft. Myers. It was known 36 hrs out that Ian was going to make landfall as at least a category 2. Governor Desantis told people not to evacuate and the local municipalities didn't appropriately press the issue. It's as simple as that.

It was either this thread or the SAL thread where I specifically mentioned the amazing detail local meteorologists were providing about the path and uncertainty of Ian. Anyone who watched that coverage and still blames the weather people is the living embodiment of that “kid puts stick into bike wheel” meme.

if you live in florida for any appreciable amount of time and evacuate every time you're in some probability cone for a cat 3, you're gonna be doing a lot of evacuating and it'll usually be for no reason and half the time you'll just end up stuck in a traffic jam. if you want to avoid hurricane risks don't live in flood zones/crappy post 1950s beach towns and live in a sturdy house not made of lovely plywood and stucco

Besides, what's a little wind ever done to anyone? I really do wonder what percentage of Floridians who don't evacuate were born in Florida https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/florida-has-the-second-fewest-native-residents-of-any-state-6548292 quote:Just 36 percent of Florida's residents were born in Florida as of 2012. Only Nevada has a smaller native population, with only 25 percent of residents born in the state, but Nevada isn't so much a state as it is a collection of brothels and casinos in the desert anyway. don't get me wrong I get that Floridians are perfectly capable of being idiots, and that everyone in this godforsaken country has a death drive that will keep them from evacuating in these situations on top of all of the financial reasons not to. I just want to know if being non-native means that you are less likely to evacuate

Ian doing it's best "van driving into a crowd" impression, except it's barrier islands and populated cities instead of pedestrians. Hurricane Ian defies all meteorological norms and crosses the entire continental US before emerging into the Pacific and reorganizing as a typhoon. Promptly recurves SE, crosses the Isthmus of Panama, and smashes into Florida again right before Halloween. SchrodingersCat has issued a correction as of 17:55 on Sep 29, 2022 |

If it somehow crosses zones (I guess over Central America to the pacific would be the most likely scenario for this to happen) does it get renamed to the other basin pattern or keep its original name?

TeenageArchipelago posted:I just want to know if being non-native means that you are less likely to evacuate I was born here but I've never evacuated for anything. the highest category I've "ridden out" was a cat 4 with some giga surge I can't remember the size of. I've never lived in a flood zone but I lived a few blocks from one for the cat 4 and saw a few cars floating by when I checked it out (after the cat 4, the area is subject to a city buyback to be converted back to wetlands now  ). I've never lived on the "beaches" which are usually a barrier island made entirely of sand that basically exists because a zillion years of storms deposited it there (that developers LOVE because no one in their right mind built anything there a century ago).If I ever lived in a place that wasn't made of 1 ft thick brick walls or steel reinforced cinderblock then I'd probably feel a BIT more nervous but those big rear end beach town wipeouts like people are posting videos of really just happen right on the coasts (where no one should've been living in lovely wooden houses in the first place but  ). as bad as florida development can be, we can still look down on texas. those guys are real fuckups. constant hurricanes at least cull the dumbest ideas florida has while texas doesn't get em enough to learn Tough Lessons

the trick to living in florida is just to not live directly on the beach in a house 6 inches above sea level and then the worst that happens is your power goes out for a few days, though in mid september florida post-hurricane weather that can be kind of miserable. if you're extremely unlucky a tree limb will crush your house or car or something but you'd have to deal with that if you evacuated or not. just if you have to live on the loving beach maybe have a bugout location a few miles inland so you don't get swept out to sea like a rube

I checked the forecast archives and this was the first advisory that extended the hurricane warning south of englewood to place cape coral and fort meyers in a hurricane warning:  I think this one actually needs some important postmortem analysis here, regardless of what dumb conversations go on in Twitter.
