Hoping it goes south as it would mean it would go over very unpopulated land in the middle of the state


Don’t you put that on me!

We’re here in Sebring down Hwy 27 from you. Hope it doesn’t hit any of us hard.

If the current trajectory, through TB, holds, is the state’s run home insurance collective screwed / massively underfunded?

The west coast of Florida has been extremely fortunate in the last 70 years. Lots of irresponsible building from Tampa metro south. There is literally no levee system , but 100 plus BILLION in development on barrier islands, reclaimed land and coastal flood zone areas. It’s really sad bc it’s by far the most beautiful stretch of beaches in the US. A major coming in west to east near Tampa will triple the damage of Ian and Irma.

Same here. Concrete block house on a slab. During Ian, we felt like we were inside a fortress

MY GOD I just saw an update for Milton and the meteorologist said not only is it a Major Hurricane, but it’s possible to be a Cat 4 when it hits closest to Tampa Bay. NOT GOOD

After going through Helene in the Upstate of SC, I’ve got zero clue why/how people in FL sign up for this

It’s not continuous. It was just mentioned how long it’s been since Tampa took a direct hit. From 2006 to 2016 there were only about 3 hurricanes to hit the US mainland.

You’ve been manipulated by your tv to think this happens all the time.

How many have hit from 2016 to now? It has to be around 20

For real this is TOO much. Id rather myself take a direct hit in Louisiana than this system going anywhere near FL. This is so wrong and not fair for them.

Feels really weird to see a major storm going west to east, no?

“The Great New England Hurricane of 1938 holds the record for the fastest forward speed of a hurricane, traveling at over 60 miles per hour (96 km/h). The hurricane moved at a similar speed to a train, which is why it was nicknamed "The Long Island Express".

Hurricanes typically move at an average speed of 15–20 miles per hour, but some can accelerate to over 60 miles per hour. Other hurricanes may stall, which can lead to heavy rain.”

Anything else you need googled for you?
