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...)
I've reading this tread waiting for LOTR references... Where are my hobbits!
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.
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.
Hope it's not as bad as predicted. But you just know there are newspaper editirs going to send their photographers out to get before and after pictures so they can use the headline "Paradise Lost"

Two days ago they were predicting everywhere from cat 1 to cat 5. The variables are endless and it's impressive that they can even put it together. One facet I thought interesting was the water temperature in the gulf. Overall it's very warm water, but one graph showed this massive hotspot lying between where the storm was and Florida. Just this big red blur on the way. I don't even know how that variance impacts things but it just looked ominous.
The "European model" for the forecast is usually the best. But there is really no question that this is going to hit people hard.
