“It has a lot to do with Christianity and I think people accept the fact that whether it’s done or not, it represents something,” said resident Ronal Baird.
also, they're tiny islands. any hurricane that comes along will do massive damage because there's very little to buffer buildings from the wind.
So I did hurricane recovery work with habitat for a year in 2008 down in the gulf, with large swaths of Mississippi still rippeddown by wind damage and much of southern Louisiana still waterlogged
You can actually bring a building up to Florida's best in the country wind damage code easily enough by strapping the framing to itself in a way that makes the building bend as a whole unit
There's less you can do about water damage, even before a cat 5 storm
Other related tidbits:
Almost all the effective rebuilding work that I saw came from small faith based volunteer orgs, churches that would send people down to work with habitat
In one case government contractors completely ruined a neighbourhood 3 years after the storm cause they never replaced the drywall when they did the original repairs, rendering about 90 homes unliveable due to mold
I feel bad about Florida, but holy shit this is probably going to flatten the Turks and Caicos Islands. 30,000 people, highest point 163 feet above sea level, directly in the patch of the hurricane, predicted storm surge of 15-20 feet.
My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)
I live in South Carolina. I am well over a hundred miles inland. That projection has the center of the storm passing quite literally over where I live.
Ha..haha... Oh boy.

If it scrapes up the coast like it's supposed to, it should lose a lot of its strength by then

oh I know about hurricane ties/straps and etc., but it'll only help so much with a ton of stuff flying around at 185 mph
Same with quakes here in California. Here's the ground. It stays still. Everything is on the ground.
Then suddenly the ground stops remaining still and now it's rolling like water, literally waves in your hardwood flooring, and everything is shaking, falling, and roaring from a force you can't even try to escape when there was no warning.
When I was a kid we had a picture book about a platypus who got caught up in Cyclone Tracy. It left me with a profound awe of cyclones/hurricanes ever afterward.
so, it looks like the irma will be much weaker than previously projected
still gonna be real bad, just not apocalypse bad
Not much, but yeah.
That coincides with it hitting landfall more directly: in earlier projections had the eye wall staying out to sea, so it didn't lose strength, but the sheer size of the storm meant it'd still heavily impact the state. Now, it's going to absolutely cream Miami as a cat-4, but lose strength at a faster rate, since the eye is inland the whole time. By the time it hits Georgia it might not even be a hurricane anymore.

i think i see the problem
through which i found this track which, if it happens will be very scary for ol crwth
nice
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

It might even still be a Cat1 by the time it hits the NE seaboard with NY/Mass.
5 o clock update from local stations have it moving west, and crawling up pretty much the middle of the state
Hey cool, I can see my house in that track! Wait, no, not cool!
GOD FUCKING DAMN.
But being born and raised in Florida and seeing all the radar displays and video every year...I find hurricanes just super fascinating
I feel the same way about twisters. They've fucking leveled towns near where I grew up but I'm still kind of in awe of them.

tito wanted to be a hurricane when he grew up
i'm a natural disaster in my own way
I bet Trump doesn't tip
There's a 'joystick' joke here, but it's too damned early for me right now.
Yes. YES.

There was an 8.1 earthquake late last night off the Pacific coast of Mexico. They felt it all the way in Mexico City.
Just need the blizzard now!
You gotta give the North at least a month on that one.

Of course not, have you seen the rate of heart attacks lately?
There's no way that Cheeto doesn't profit off this in a big way.
