Damn, just learned about the hurricane from this. Hope y'all have potable water and generators/power banks for emergencies. Nonperishables too, big storms are no joke.

Is this *another* hurricane? Oh my god....

I’m genuinely freaked out for these people. My wife’s godmother lives in Largo (near Tampa) and they still have debris on the street and in many yards…this next one is coming straight at them.

Worry about @shotgunshane and @wormcycle and anyone else who is in West FL.

we have a house in Sarasota, it survived Helene unscathed, I'm not so sure about this one.

I was born in Sarasota, there's an old legend that a Hurricaine has never hit SRQ directly due to the protection of the bay.

I am not currently in Sarasota, but my son lives there. We were very lucky with Helene, this one has unusual direction, the last one like that was reportedly 100 y ago. Good luck to everyone there.

holy crap which old gods did y'all tick off down there?

My theory (well, what I read somewhere) is that the whole developed world ticked off the gods of the warmer oceans. Hence more powerful, wetter cyclones/hurricanes.

All the best to everyone who might be affected. May you be safe.

Bit more reading: warm air too. So more pissed off gods.

And it looks horrible.
