Hurricane Helene

[Danderman123]

This topic is in the Political section because the governor of Florida has eliminated mention of Climate Change in the government. Now, this monster hurricane, fueled by excessively warm ocean water, is bearing down on Tallahassee, the state capitol.

 

20 foot waves are predicted at landfall.

 

Unless there is a miracle, the area between the ocean and Tallahassee is going to be flooded, maybe Tallahassee too.

 

This one is going to kill a lot of the people who hunker down in their homes. Now is the time to get out of town.

Good advice for anyone planning to ride out the hurricane.

Helene is now Category 4, and barreling towards Tallahassee. This will not be fun.

 

There could be mass casualties along the coast, due to people staying in their homes rather than going to high ground. There may be 50 foot waves hitting houses near the ocean.

 

There are reservoirs north of Tallahassee that may overflow, which will add to the flooding.

When I lived in central Florida, people would ask: Why live in Florida and not near the Gulf or Atlantic coast? I would reply: You never see one of these signs pointing toward the water.

Unless the governor has also banned mention of the hurricane or its size, climate change is irrelevant, whatever causes it.

You are trying to use a hurricane to score cheap political points IMO.

These hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more powerful because of warming ocean waters. Do you disagree?
