Indeed….we moan about our weather but at least it's relatively safe.
Best wishes to them. | | | |

I am lucky enough to have a managed condo outside Fort Myers - Nearly finished the rebuild after Hurricane Ian, then we had 6ft storm surge with Hurricane Helene last week and now Milton will cause a lot of damage tomorrow.
I have a mate who lives permanently in St Pete and he said last night he is staying put ! I do hope everyone is OK and keeps safe. | | | |

Just watching a news item now. On the spot reporter telling us he’s knee deep in water and having to watch out for potential flying debris as he speaks.
On closer inspection, he’s standing knee deep in a sunken drain hole and the rain is coming down in an entirely vertical direction with no discernible wind gusts suggesting flying debris isn’t an imminent issue.
Perhaps any hyperbole from our news industry could be curtailed until after the event. If memory serves, in the distant past,I think that used to be the default position. | | | |

I've been to the US three times. On two of those occasions I experienced the worst weather I've ever seen. The worst was in Chicago, I was eating in a restaurant and after a while everyone in the restaurant had to take shelter in the kitchen, there were tornado sirens going off, the city ended getting quite flooded. The other time I was in a fast food restaurant somewhere in the Mid West, it rained so hard in a very short period of time that within 5-10 minutes it was ankle deep water inside the restaurant.
The Yanks like to say "it always rains in England" as a lazy stereotype, it might be somewhat true but at least our weather doesn't try to kill us (as much).
I'm perfectly happy being in a country where it doesn't get too cold, it doesn't get too hot and it doesn't try to blow my house down. We have bland weather (for now) and that's fine with me. | | | |

Landshark, re: "The Yanks like to say "it always rains in England" as a lazy stereotype, it might be somewhat true but at least our weather doesn't try to kill us (as much)."
I've been saying this for years but more often than not when we get a big weather incident, two people die. A tree will fall on someone and some guy will get trapped in a drain. It's weird how often it's two people.
As ever the dickhead contingent in America are claiming that Kamala Harris has engineered this hurricane to wipe out Trump voters in Florida. Rather than accept that it's just weather (or indeed some sort of act of their God smiting their dumb arses). | |

Isn't usually always that part of America that gets hit with the big hurricanes? Kamala has been engineering hurricanes for a long time then.
Trump voters are the kind that would stay behind despite being told to evacuate though so there might be some truth in it. | | | |

That part of the world has a hurricane season every year that lasts for about six months from June until November with it peak being from August to about now. | |

I'll never understand why they put those poor bastid reporters out in the hurricanes just to report for us.
Get inside! Look out the window and tell us what you see! We believe you! | |

I knew it would happen, but not this quickly - it took 7 or so posts on the first page of this before it turned into Trump/Trump supporter bashing. Some kind of record surely.
I pray everyone in Florida, red or blue, stays safe. | | | |

That dickheadedness cuts both ways. Have you forgotten Dick Cheney's 'Halliburton Hurricane Machine' for Katrina in 2005?
What some(usually) immature individual spouts about weather conspiracies is not the issue, it's that an agency, purporting to be a reputable news source would even run with it. | |

Thankfully it seems the hurricane wasn't quite as bad as feared, although a terrible event nonetheless.
Warning issued to the UK, Hurricane Dozzell is due to hit the West London area on Saturday afternoon, October 19th. | | | |

My old mans widow is in Orlando visiting her cousin, first holiday since he passed earlier this year, she was due to head back to the UK today.
Most recent WhatsApp I had from her last night was she said she's never been so scared and just wants to get back home, currently hunkered down in a substantial property as her cousins place is expected to get battered.
Thoughts are with everyone out there. | | | |
