Recently, the United States seemingly can't get a break from natural disasters. Just a short time ago, the tragic hurricane Helene hit the country, and now a new hurricane is on its way.

In 24 hours, Hurricane Milton was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane, and it is now expected to hit Florida either on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Experts online are sharing facts about how scary this natural disaster is and are urging people to evacuate as soon as possible.

    it might not though. like how in 2014 we were like 'omg WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD' and this year it looks like it'll be dropping out of the top 10 (yes the top 10 warmest years are just the past ten, I'd add links but it turns out the NOAA website responsible is in Asheville so it has a bunch of pages that are down, it also looks like 2024 is going to break 2023's record and I think we're now in month 15 of record breaking monthly temperatures...)

    Look I know they call it the pan handle, but how is it not obvious it should be d something else closer to what it actually both looks like and it's basic intellectual output. Like, I don't know, maybe the Dumb handle? That being said for those in the way of this storm, I truly hope you are out of harms way before it strikes.

    This visual is frightening. I haven’t prayed since 9/11. I think I’ll pray tonight for the people that could not evacuate. May their Guides be with them through this.

    There are many people who cannot evacuate for health reasons. Then there are the people who tried to evacuate but their vehicle broke down or there is literally no gas at gas stations.

    These are the pictures that scare me. They tell you to evacuate, and you're trying to, but then you're just trapped on a freeway.

    It does not have “little to do with climate change”. Yes natural disasters have always happened, and yes there have always been some bad ones, but never this many this fast with this intensity and this much devastation. Climate change is ABSOLUTELY a massive contributing factor.
