I've been watching Ryan Hall Y'all on You Tube a little bit this afternoon and on his coverage they said that Florida has had over 55 tornado warnings this afternoon ahead of the Milton making landfall. If a hurricane isn't bad enough they get tornadoes to deal with. Ick.
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
Aloha!
Luckily the Rays are not in the playoffs this year.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
I am honestly shocked that anybody lives in Florida anymore. It sounds like insurance companies are not taking on new customers. How are you expected to buy a house in Florida if you can’t get insurance?
I was in FL when Helene hit (east/southeast of Orlando in a city called Viera) for softball. We flew in Wednesday and the pilot had to adjust his flightpath to come in from the east because the winds blowing in from the gulf were already causing havoc.
We had our first game Thursday afternoon and were playing in 40-50mph winds even before Helene made landfall and we were on the opposite side of the state. Right as we got done with our game the sirens went off in the complex to alert for lightning strikes in the vicinity and the whole park cleared out to their cars within probably 10 minutes. It rained pretty hard for 20-30 minutes and then stopped basically until sundown when the hurricane got to land.
Once the hurricane made landfall I think they said our area got about 2.5 inches of rain (all overnight) and gusts up to 60mph.
I wouldn't want to be around for one making landfall, that's for damn sure.
