Me: reporting from central Florida.
posted 1 year ago by KewMan 1 year ago by KewMan +23 / -1

Milt passed 2 miles south of me... Peak gust was just 42mph.

Electricity went out 2 hours after it passed

Satellite dish never lost connection even though the rest of the year heavy rain takes it out.

Feels like I'm in The Truman Show...

Every storm in my lifetime has been overhyped.

They used imagery that showed massive cloud cover on tv to scare people but i researched it and that is normal for storms.

Also the governor saying "stay and you will die" is huge hyperbole as if people haven't been weathering hurricanes for thousands of years.

Also, the way they build these shitty pine box houses these days, they aren't even built to last a fucking storm. The quality of lumber is vastly inferior to 100 years ago. Lumber was much more dense and strong. Modern pine is not dense, very soft, snaps like toothpicks. The plywood they use today for roof sheathing and side sheathing is glued saw dust. It crumbles if it is exposed to humidity let alone water and termites can chew through this soft wood and glued sawdust like its cardboard. Wind gets behind the cheap vinyl siding they use today and rips that off like a band-aid in 40mph+ winds.

Over-hyping storms allows insurance industry to jack up prices, media to hype climate change, state governments to get federal emergency funding, local bureaucrats get huge overtime and extra "hazard pay" which results in $3000-$5000 paychecks for easy government jobs. Everyone gets in on the grift. Overhyping crises is big money.

I've got family in Sarasota. Said the lights flickered a few times. They didn't have any problems texting updates.

I've got family in Denmark, they say they're ok. They made coffee a little while ago, medium/light roasted arabica.

A tropical system that doesn't hit land.

See? We effectively used HAARP to make things better, how does that work for the paranoids now?
