Hurricane Season 2022 - Florida Now in the Bullseye

Here we freakin' go again!!!

 

In November!! Come on.

 

It isn't supposed to be too bad for inland areas where I am.....25-35 mph winds and 5 to 7 inches of rain.

 

But even that is too much for areas that are still flooded from Ian, not to mention the fact that the entire east coast of Florida is going to be just crushed by storm surge, 15-25 foot waves, and coastal flooding.

 

There are houses in the Daytona/New Symrna beach areas that are feet away from falling into the ocean due to coastal erosion from Ian....there is no way those houses will make it through this event. Just a complete shame for the state of Florida.

The gusts will be higher though but yeah, last thing we need for sure. The track has shifted a bit north so it looks like, as of now, it is more headed your way instead of where Ian hit. Here is a great link to monitor things:  https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/weather/tropical

Those sand piles remind me how Bufalo may look after the game Sunday with the possible snow.

Maybe so but it's the real deal here, we don't need this one bit.

Then don't live there... Population can't grow every year with people living in the face of danger.   There's always been these storms, just less people living in the teeth of them. 

 

My sister near Stuart evacuated,  she lives on boat and they cut power this morning... Floating docks may help. She went to Tampa to stay with her daughter.

As someone who has lived in Florida for almost my entire life, I can attest to the fact that there is too much overpopulation and overdevelopment in Florida, especially in the last 20 years.

 

However, the frequency of Hurricanes hitting the Central Fl area has gone wild in the last six years.

 

For example, between 1984 and 2004, zero hurricanes hit the Central Fl area. Then we had three hurricanes hit the area in the same year(Charley, Francis, Jeane). Then we had another 11 year stretch with no Hurricanes in the area.

 

Now since 2016, we have had 7 Hurricanes impact the Area.

 

So 3 in 32 years, as compared to 7 in 6 years. That’s either bad luck, global warming, or a combination of the two.

My sister lives in Jax Beach about 1 block from the beach.  She estimated that about 8feet of the dunes, that were rebuilt not too long ago, were washed away.

Pretty crazy......18 years apart, and in both years the two storms were 43-44 days apart!

Have been at Disney all week and this storm was nothing.

Does this look like nothing to you?

They were a little off on their prediction for my area.....ended up with 5 inches of rain, but the winds were much stronger 50-60 mph with gusts to 70mph.
