    It’s not climate change. There is no mention of climate change anywhere in Florida law.

      It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Meterologist on the video in that article specifically explain warming oceans from carbon are causing the increased frequency/intensity.

        It’s also the hotter atmosphere being able to hold more water and energy potential. That’s why Helene was able to drag so much water into the Appalachian Mountains.

    Originally they thought that Helene would be a cat 3, too.

    But the Democrats aim with the Hurricane machine proclaimed by MTG is getting better. Maybe the third try actually turns Mar-a-Lago into a pile of rubble.

      I’m on the team running the weather machine this time. We are very excited for this run!

      After gathering so much data from the last several storms, we finally have the power to call hurricanes and tornadoes exactly where we want them to go!

      We’ll be feasting on the fetuses Boden personally hands us after this run, fellas!

      I know this isn’t a great thing to say due to housing costs, but I think you really need to find a different place to live than a boat because hurricanes are only going to get worse.

        As I understand it, mangrove swamps are a great place to ride out storms in a boat. They naturally reduce waves, and should help cut down on some of the wind. There’s a whole demonstration of how they work in the Keys. Can’t remember where I saw it.

        Obviously it would be better to not be in the path of the storm, but if you have to be, there are much worse places than around mangroves.

    FWIW, The Weather Channel says something slightly different:

    M​ost of the new computer guidance suggests that a Category 3 hurricane will develop, though some models have a stronger storm than this. Residents should prepare as if a Category 4 or 5 hurricane is anticipated.

      And the ground is still saturated from Helene, so it’s not going to be absorbing much of the water. The flooding will be far worse than a cat 5 on dry ground.
