Hurricane Milton

There was something on the news this week saying it’s not so much that they’re going to become more frequent as they haven’t noticed an upwards trend with frequency, but it’s that they’re going to become more intense.

The warmer the sea water, the faster and then bigger than storms become.

That is what I was referring to with “major hurricanes” becoming more frequent, referring to the heavier rain, stronger winds, and higher storm surge becoming more the norm, as opposed to the hurricanes mostly being of minor severity.

It’s the higher severity that is becoming more frequent, rather than necessarily the number of named storms each year.

Though, there are some projections that believe that may occur if the season lengthens, which is also possible based on current climate forecasts for the Atlantic.

Bit of shit show, wind blown rain under doors and windows soaking living room, bedroom. Trying to dry out.
We're alive....but getting desperately low on beer and liquor, which is extremely worrying

Sorry to hear about the damp-creep and the low rations, but glad you are ok otherwise!

Why the fuck do they build houses out of wood in America? I know they’re a bit simple over there but have they not figured out how to make bricks yet?

I’ve lived here for 9 years and it’s the 4th hurricane in the area and the only one to cause damage, the other 3 were ‘weakening’ by the time the came near the area. That’s 8 days out of 3,200 odd days.

My brother lived in Boca Raton on the east coast for 20 years, and experienced many hurricanes in his time there, he never had any damage whatsoever in that time, the only issues he had was finding Alligators in his pool after a storm..
 
A little bit of trouble brewing at my gaff.
My daughter went there today to tidy up a bit and a neighbour pointed out that a tree next to my house is leaning further by the day…..
A bit of a stand off with the park management. I told them about it and they said i am responsible for the trees. I replied that I own the house but not the land and the tree is on the land. She insisted I’m responsible for the trees…..
3,600 to have it taken down. If it falls it would most likely take the corner of the shed with my washing machine and dryer in there and take the fence and the house the other side of the fence too.
My daughter is panicking thing it’s going to come down……

Can’t quite work out how Helena isn’t getting more news time, horrendous damage and loss of life. I guess just not enough of a holiday destination ?
