The biggest problem isn't these people staying, it's that if they make it through the emergency responders are put at risk if they need saving. Agreed. They should be told there will be no help coming if they choose to stay. 1 Quote

matter2003 Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 (edited) Massive tornado outbreak going on ahead of Hurricane Milton's arrival...17 tornado warnings in effect currently...and these aren't the typical weak F0 or F1 tropical tornadoes that happen a lot in Florida, these are intense ones. Here is a great live stream from meteorologists that will be covering everything Milton related...currently dealing with tornado warning and outbreaks and showing footage of live tornadoes on the ground.

SwampD Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 5 hours ago, Stoner said: I talked about how terrible meteorologists are back in April with their horribly botched eclipse forecast. That didn't hurt anyone. But I watched some covg of Milton yesterday. One meteorologist said the eye would pass directly over downtown Tampa. On a nightly network newscast they showed a future track of the storm as it passed over Tampa and then went across the state. The reporter was standing on a map with the radar superimposed. Cool effect but of course nonsense. Almost inarguably covg like that will cost lives and property. Because guess what the real pros at the National Hurrican Center, which puts out a cone of probability, hours later said the storm would track much further to the south. There are people on the beach in Tampa waiting for the hurricane to see the storm surge. No more accurate forecasting is going to save those lives. Quote

Looking like the eye may go into the bay right now, or into AMI/Bradenton. So it appears that one meteorologist may not be so wrong. Quote

Scottysabres Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Looks like the worst case scenario was avoided. My heart goes out to those who perished and my anger goes out to those who left pets to die. Let's hope this is the last one of this season. Quote

It really is a shame they won't tell the truth. But politicians and govt types can't risk being blamed, and the media will never miss a chance to score ratings and clicks. As Carlin said many times, the greatest product this country makes is BS. Yes 10 died and that's 10 too many. They died in the tornadoes that preceded landfall. Quote

I was watching live coverage of the largest tornado outbreak in the history of Florida when I said that. And tornados are a part of hurricanes. Who isn’t telling the truth? Do you believe that “the govt” has a hurricane machine?! And if you want to talk BS, how about all this conspiracy BS. It’s getting really old. 1 Quote

You know crying wolf means to lie over and over. These people are warning you if you are not lucky you will probably die. Looks like some people were lucky and some weren't. You probably should stay away from talking politics and weather as it seems you have no grasp of either. This guy is talking like he is an alien species, it's so weird.

I never heard a politician say that. I was watching the live radar on a weather nerd podcast and made up my own mind. Sorry if it aligned with some clickbait Turkey. 1 Quote
