you have to scroll down but they are predicting 100 percent erosion of beaches facing ocean due to storm surge
it’s a sandbar. it’s supposed to be under water most of the time.
I saw something yesterday indicating that it would be Category III when it hit land.That doesn’t sound like anything historic.
Texas is gonna be jealous.
Gulf coastlines have always been changing — FOREVER.
And our coastlines will continue to change again.
blah blah blah
the media is hyping crap.
yes it is a dangerous storm. we can say that without hyperbole.
The dark forces (CHINA/DEEP STATE/U.S. GOV’T) have gotten REALLY good and MODIFYING the severity of hurricanes.
I’m a geologist. I say baloney. But a lot of the sand will end up offshore once the return flow begins.
Maybe they will change the scary text, too:
“Bringing 155mph winds and storm surges of up to 15 feet to major cities including Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Myers....”
I will definitely eat my Trump hat if Orlando sees a storm surge of even five feet. It is not on the coast! If the rest of the report is just as accurate, maybe they are simply joking about all of it.
By the way, my wife’s grandmother, who rode out the 1920s Tampa hurricane, told me those barrier islands off St Petersburg and Clearwater, that are now heavily and expensively developed, were created by that hurricane. She said that the next hurricane that came up Tampa Bay would wipe them out. I guess she was a fancy, fear-mongering geologist?
So Florida will be an island after this?
Coastlines are forever changed each time a wave strikes... day in , day out, year after year, all around the world.
I highly doubt there will be a fifteen foot storm surge in Orlando.
Except it really won’t. What a crock.
All coastlines change. the one thing they do is change. Cape May had a very pronounced gap called the cove at the end of the west edge of what is now the modern town. The streets at that edge of town go from first street to second street to the cove. It recently filled in a bunch. They put a life guard stand there. I don’t think it will be forever but might be a nice addition to the beach for a while. meanwhile i’m taking my girlfriends salt urn down to the beach in two weeks. It will be our last trip to Cape May.
West Coast FL evacuees:
Take your metal detectors with you. There’ll be a lot of new opportunities once the sand on the beach is out of the way.
