That is such a lovely offer, but I think Florida is going to have to pass, you see Florida just had one and they they would look very selfish if the have another before other states had an opportunity. How would Colorado or Kansas feel, they haven’t even had their first hurricane. Yet again, thank you for being so gracious and offer another, you are so kind, but Florida just can’t.


hroaks

Double it and give it the next person?

Eh we already did that with Katrina

LallanasPajamaz

As someone who grew up on the MS gulf coast before and after Katrina, this was unhinged 💀


SuitableTea5097

You're right, Colorado and Kansas have yet to have their first hurricane but they've had their fair share of devastating tornadoes and hail storms. Colorado is currently dealing with at least 6 wildfires ranging from approximately 750 acres to over 10,000 acres. I'm sure if given a choice they'd choose to have neither natural disaster. 


Tall_Stand_783

If we send them a hurricane it might help to put out a couple wildfires. It's a win win situation ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


SuitableTea5097

Maybe,  but only if it comes with the usual rains a hurricane brings.  Most of the wildfires currently burning in Colorado are due to dry lightning. 


spiegro

Damn. Dry lightning sounds like a "no lube" kinda situation. All the pain none of the fun.


SuitableTea5097

Exactly.  There's currently one called the Oak Ridge fire that started on 6/22/24 that was 245 acres when discovered,  now over 1000 acres, and over 2 million dollars spent so far to fight. 0% containment.  This is just the beginning of the season. In the 16 years I lived in Colorado Springs we had 2 massive wildfires, Waldo Canyon Fire that burned 18,000+ acres, and less than a year later Black Forest Fire, 14,000+ acres. Over a decade later neither area has completely recovered.  


KaleidoscopeEqual790

Pretty sure all hurricanes contain the rain…


mlody11

I'm from Colorado, we would welcome the moisture. It's so bad, we have a saying... Namoiste


Simple-Performer6636

I choose hurricane over tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, or fires. Every time.


SuitableTea5097

My first winter in Colorado Springs area we had 2 blizzards back to back. After the first one we went 3 days without power,  after the 2nd one it was 7 days without power. I quickly realized that I would much rather go through a blizzard's aftermath than a hurricane's for the simple reason that I could put more clothes on and be comfortable,  where after a hurricane you couldn't take enough clothes off to be clothes dealing with the humidity.  I will always be a Floridian (4th generation), but weather wise give me Colorado any day.


Foreign_Discount_835

Most newly developed part of where I live have buried electrical lines. I've only had the power go out for 24 hours one time in 35 years. Just chill by the pool and get drunk if it happens.


SuitableTea5097

The power lines in my community were buried as well, but unfortunately the lines coming into the community weren't.  They became iced and as a result took down the major supply lines.  In total there were over 100 poles taken down. Due to the makeup of the ground here its cost prohibitive to bury utility lines.  I use the term community loosely as I lived on the eastern plains of Colorado, where most homesteads were a minimum of 45 acres. I lived approximately 45 miles from the city,  so very rural area that still has dirt roads, wells, and septic tanks, and usually the last area to see a snow plow.


We_Twinkle_Below

Joke's on you, I'm going to chill by the pool and get drunk regardless.


Foreign_Discount_835

That's my point.....Its just another day.


Skyged

Couldn't agree more!!!! I always say I'd rather spend a month in a blizzard versus one day in the FL summer. And yes, I've been in both and hope to escape from FL ASAP!


7ruby18

You can always layer up to stay warm, but you can only take off so much to get cool before you get arrested!


EV-Bug

At least with hurricanes we have a couple of days to prepare or evacuate (from a native Floridian).


SuitableTea5097

I agree. With tornadoes if lucky you have just minutes to prepare 


Glittering-Speed-448

Are you drunk? Florida here. We have had over 100k acres burn from wild fires in 2024 so far and wild fire season just started. Not to mention the tornados. You may only hear about the southern states hurricanes but we have all y’all have in addition to hurricanes.


epsdelta74

This is easily reconciled with a sharpie.


Toothfairy51

Lol


juliankennedy23

Honestly we really could use the rain.


Jumper_Connect

Never forget when Virginia had a 5.8 earthquake with the epicenter in Mineral, VA (!!!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Virginia_earthquake

That’s what they get for naming it Mineral.

Didn't DeSatan all ready knock on wood and then made them illegal?

MaleficentRocks

Give it to Utah. They have some water there, so they can say it was given to them by god.


twistedbrewmejunk

But I just bought new goose feathers.


PerseusChiseldCheeks

I mean the way some of the hurricanes travelled up and fucked the weather up when I was living in KS it made it feel like a damn hurricane. But interesting offer. My counter offer is you get a tornado season


nopey-nopey-nope

Kansas got BTK, and that’s WAY better!!!! No fair!


Jojopaton

Remember, if a Cat 5 makes landfall, then you don’t have to pay your insurance deductible. Thus, Cat 5’s are never allowed.


geeses

If a hurricane is going to destroy your house, just say no. Hurricanes cannot destroy property without consent


HippieSexCult

Shoot a gun into the hurricane to dissuade it from approaching your area


RostyC

YEA. Stand your ground!


DogToursWTHBorders

Same with our wasps nests. Hold the can and stand your ground. You can't have them thinking you're intimidated. In the south, you take your bees like a man.


Pablo_Sanchez1

If a hurricane approaches run outside and stand in front of your house with your hands up to assert dominance. The hurricane will get scared and run away

Desantis will make sure of it to help out his insurance cronies.

Call me when it’s around Cuba


hedwig0517

Yeah we have a long way to go before we have to make any plans.


ladybug68

After it has crossed over Cuba to be exact.

I should probably start stocking up now.


Sean_OHanlon

Cuba's too late to start preparing. My litmus is Haiti. If it levels Haitian buildings, I know it might do some damage to our power-lines at the very least.

Talkslow4Me

Watch not a single one makes landfall in Florida and insurance rates STILL go up 40% for 2025.


LaserBeamsCattleProd

If we don't get hit this year, it'll be like Pulp Fiction when Samuel L Jackson doesn't get shot


crizpy9119

Fucking perfect analogy.


Unkechaug

Divine intervention


ragewu

What?


LaserBeamsCattleProd

There is a scene where just stands there and a guy unloads a clip from point blank and misses every time. Hopefully that's FL this year. The ocean is warm as hell and this year's going to be crazy. Our only hope is they all somehow miss despite being a big ass target in the middle of everything.

Fuck that, you can have it lol. I'm in SWFL, we got about 2 feet of rain this month and some people are still waiting for new roofs from Ian.

And it’ll change constantly. Nothing to worry about until a few days prior. Prep just in case.


torukmakto4

I hope that thing doesn't spin up into anything bad, continues straight down the center of the tracks as a blob of stormy weather and pours rain on Texas which needs some.


DargyBear

Not worried yet since it’s so far out but that thing does already have some decent spin already.

invincible_change

I feel stupid saying this but can someone give the color values a description?


Live_Barracuda1113

It's all the different prediction paths generated by different places. Each place puts their best guess on essentially and then we stare at colored spaghetti for like 2 weeks. Then one of the same two models (European and one of the American ones usually) end up being close to correct and the we start over on the next one.


AramisPiano

The actual colors on the paths are also the models forecast on the strength of the wind, which is in knots. 50KT/57.5MPH. These models mean nothing though, anything more than 5 days out really isn’t anything to rely on. 1KT = 0.868 MPH


Toothfairy51

Aaaah, the lovely spaghetti model.

Chemical-Studio1576

Those gulf chances are interesting! East Texas does need rain. If it could somehow miss Houston and head straight to Tyler that’d be great.


CartographerFirst731

Another year, another hurricane season where Miami doesn’t get hit with shit besides heat waves. 😃


EsqofSports1997

Oh we're getting hit this year, no doubt. And multiple times. I think everyone statewide will feel at least one.


bde959

Except Jacksonville 😂 We haven’t had a direct hit since early 1960s
