The part of Florida that Idalia is heading for is pretty unprepared for a direct hit and the cities are historically overconfident, no? Being on the west coast of Florida gives them a lot of protection from the winds and surges of most Atlantic hurricanes.

Being on the west coast of Florida gives them a lot of protection from the winds and surges of most Atlantic hurricanes. I wouldn't pay any attention to specific track locations right now. The system is still spinning up, hasn't even entered the Gulf yet, and hasn't really begun strong intensification yet. All of those things can and do affect track. The cone that's on NHC's web site right now shows where the 2/3 track probability resides - there's a 1/3 chance just from this forecast of the center of Idalia going outside the cone. If I were anywhere from Pensacola to Fort Myers, I'd be starting preparations as if it was hitting me directly.

If sea levels rise enough could we see hurricanes just go over the middle of Florida while pulling energy from both the Gulf and the Atlantic?

FistEnergy posted:absolutely. but I have some family in the Tampa area, and like most Floridians they assume it's overblown and they'll be fine like usual Hurricane and storm surge warnings went up this cycle for the Tampa area, so hurricane conditions are expected in that region within the next 36 hours. They might be fine! They might also not be. Preparing for something that doesn't hit them is a lot better than being unprepared when something does hit them.

On the plus side, you might actually die. The alternative is being stranded in a hot Florida summer just after a hurricane came through so there's zero electricity, everything's flooded/destroyed, and it's 100 degrees with 80% humidity. Frankly, I'd pray for death.

sauer kraut posted:Climate-proof Duluth being a small red island in a sea of purple is just You get that nice cold breeze coming off Lake Superior so it rarely gets too uncomfortable in Duluth during the summer. However, during the winter that arctic wind whipping down hard out of Canada with nothing to get in its way until it hits the city means that you risk freezing your tits off if you step outside your door in January.

Stepping into the role of the observer as I am washed away by the storm surge. My lifeless body is recovered days later and rescuers are shocked and unnerved by the expression of utter tranquility frozen into my features. They will never realize that the real tragedy is having to survive in Florida.

So I'm gonna be in Atlanta Wednesday morning through Friday evening. I see a large storm is going to rip through north Florida / south Georgia. Should I be concerned? Alternatively, should I be concerned about my dad? He's driving some family north from Tampa to Atlanta Wednesday morning. SKULL.GIF has issued a correction as of 17:58 on Aug 28, 2023 |
