Can never be too safe

People did die

The fact that it lost a lot of energy before it hit America does not make them wrong. They actually knew that was likely to happen.

I don't know what OP is talking about but South Florida is an absolute mess.

It could have been worse since it was projected to be a category 5 hurricane when it made landfall in the Key.

better safe then sorry

Looking how bad it destroyed the Caribbean, it's fair to say the same would happen to FL.

People were expecting the Keys to no longer exist, and Miami to end up like the Houston pictures

Exactly. Millions are expected to be without power for FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS! Holy crap!

Miami is basically un-liveable at this point. A friend I know goes to school there, and isn't expecting to return to classes until Mid-October

But science!

Who ever would have thought the media was full of shit and only interested in sensationalist fear mongering.

Weather Reporters are full of shit. news @ 11. Honestly they all should be fired. I'll learn never to trust those dumbasses.

Remember when liberals on CE were saying this was the worst hurricane on record, worse than Andrew. How this was proof of man made climate change?

As I posted in another topic,


Some people are completely ridiculous.

Just because the storm's trajectory changed and you were lucky and suffered tropical storm to category 1 winds doesn't mean a lot of people didn't get completely ****ed.

Just look up images and videos of the Florida keys and cities along with the western coast of Florida, like Naples. Not to mention the catastrophic damage dealt on its way to the US.

lmao @ people saying it was overhyped. This thing was a complete monster. I'm lucky I only had to go through tropical storm and category 1 winds and rain and that I was more inland.

They had 1 job and they failed. Fuck off with that non-sense.

The trajectory didn't change. Irma had a path and it went on that path. The problem is our metorolgist fucking suck. We didn't get lucky. There is no luck involved.

It was/IS. It's not that hard to understand. This hurricane was much larger and more powerful than Andrew. Andrew hit our area directly in 1992; Irma did not. Not to mention the building codes became much more stringent and robust after the Hurricane Andrew. Furthermore, we were much more prepared for Irma than we were for Andrew.

Even with the more robust code and week long preparations, the damage would've been incredible if it had hit us directly.

I'm not going to comment on the global warming stuff. Just saying that this hurricane was by no means hyped up, and it's an insult for people who have nothing to do with the situation, and were not affected to be spewing this nonsense.

^ backpedaling to the max

Imagine being such a shitposter you're trying to make a point that people didn't get fucked as bad as they could have.

Good fucking lord this site is an absolute shithole now.

Jesus the amount of ignorance is astounding. Yes, there is luck involved. In any given hurricane season, you can be very lucky or unlucky with a hurricane hits you. You have no control over this. And yes a hurricane's trajectory can change based on a multitude of factors.

And guess what? Even if Miami didn't get hit, the whole of Florida was warned to prepare for a possible hurricane hit. The west coast have a lot of cities that got compeltely ****ed. To say this storm was overhyped after all the damage and death it's caused is an insult.

You make no sense. But yeah continue making idiotic posts about something you know nothing about.

Fuck the media so good. Seriously. They live for hype, not accurate information. Pieces of shit should be jobless. The reporters, too.

Dude don't waste your time with these low iq posters.
You'll expend a lot of energy and get near nowhere trying to get them to understand logic.

I seen a lot of people on twitter butthurt the storm wasn't powerful enough so they could push their climate agenda, probably some posters here also think that

Not going to comment on the climate agenda debate, but how was this storm not powerful enough?

Unless you were making fun of them for thinking the storm wasn't powerful enough.

I don't doubt that, but the sad thing there are a lot of people who literally think because their area received the outskirts of the storm (Tropical storm winds), that means that's what everyone got. Imagine living in that kind of bubble.

Yeah Irma was going to be the undeniable proof of man made climate change according to end of the world morons everywhere, because science! according to them.

As the topic title states, most people are only interested or care about what happens to them and don't give a flying fuck what happens to the rest of the world, obviously.

Is its not being the worst thing ever evidence against climate change? Is that what you're implying?

I mean Harvey was still a thing. 4 powerful hurricanes back to back. Look at the records and you see hurricanes getting stronger and more frequent.

It was bad in Naples
---

The fuck? I was hit by Irma yesterday. Directly in its path. Nothing is open because everything has no power. Trees were snapped in half, ripped out of the ground, and I still have standing water in my street. Meteorologists did their job.

It was way more powerful than Harvs, but it moved much quicker

*Looks at Miami*
*Looks at Naples*
*Looks at Keys*
*Looks at Peurto Rico*
*Looks at US Virgin Islands*

(sarcasm) Yeah no damage at all to the US (/sarcasm)

Since you said the US and not US mainland territories like Peurto Rico and US Virgin Islands count
