Remember when we used to have storms? Not everything was “catastrophic” or worst in recorded history? Man I tell you, these people ow couldn’t handle the cold weather we had back in the 70’s. Worst weather ever cries the media idiots. Oh bs it’s just weather.

I don’t know why, but I’m having the feeling this may not be as bad as they’re playing it up to be . . . I confess . . . I’m weird.

With high tide at 3:00+am, and tides already higher than normal, Tampa could get seriously flooded when Idalia hits (presumably just north of Tampa). The counter-clockwise winds will accelerate the incoming tide, and when the tide shifts to go out, the winds will preclude the bay from emptying out. It could get real ugly because a lot of Tampa is at elevation +2 or less.

It should be brushing past me on Thursday. See that big bubble at the end of the track? That's where Windy.com has it bouncing off of Bermuda, redeveloping and circling back into the coast between the OBX and Chesapeake next week.

Round and round she goes...

And, there are two causes: global warming and DeSantis.

Oh, and Trump. Of course.

It isn’t a real hurricane until Jim Cantori is broadcasting from the beach in his Weather Channel rain suit.

So, here is the big issue.

Where is Jim Cantori? Will he even show up for this storm?

Checkout Northeast Florida inland between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. I expect you can find still reasonably priced houses and insurance, and hurricanes generally don’t affect that area.

East and Gulf Coast, not so much.

Good hunting and good luck!

He flew to Gainesville yesterday. Also heard he was thinking about heading towards Tallahassee.

Pay no attention to FEAR PORN!

Too bad that so many LIEberal voters do!

That’s also my take on Covid and masking.
