I guess it's a little like Kansas and tornadoes. One was coming down my road and I am out there taking pictures. You kind of getting use to them and can very easily underestimate their power. |

Milton has been upgraded back to a cat 5. Sustained winds of 165 MPH is ****ing bananas. 165 mph is the very top of an EF3 and only 1 mph off an EF4. Thats crazy to me.

Just saw that the mayor of Tampa has declared that anybody who stays is going to die.

As mentioned though, you don't get 3 days' notice on a tornado... yet, it can be coming down your street and at any time you can jump in the basement if needed; compared to a hurricane being 900 ****ing miles wide. Insurance companies kind of tell the story though in terms of destruction.. they've been pulling out of hurricane states and wild fire states, but AFAIK haven't been as concerned about the midwest and tornadoes.

Seems like a good opportunity to loot, steal and plunder.

Once you get out of Tampa/Sarasota area and get to Naples finding gas is not an issue. It's a little more sporadic in Fort Myers, but can still be found. |

I truly will never understand why people deliberately move to places like Florida. When my previously mentioned friends first told me they were relocating there, I told them then that I thought they were both nuts. You've got the oppressive heat and humidity and dinosaurs crawling through your yard, and that's on a good day. On a bad day, you get this. And they happen regularly. You live there long enough, you're going to get hit by one, there isn't a goddamn thing you can do about it, and you can only hope that it will be a glancing blow and not some shit like Andrew or Katrina. No thanks. Yeah, the weather sucks up here; summers can be awful, winters can be brutal, but we're mostly safe, except from each other. |

wouldn't recommend that in our neighborhood, Most have 5-6 guns and know how to shoot.
