I wonder if the Mons made it? Scarlett’s?

The Galveston hurricane of 1900 changed the world of hurricane research and reporting. Between 6000 and 12000 people died in that one because no one knew it was coming. A wall of water swept over the island wiping it clean. After that, the US started researching hurricanes and finding way to predict them. Now days, we know everything about one at least a week in advance. What would Tampa Bay look like if Ian had come in like any other storm but nobody knew what was behind it?

If you have ever seen photos of the aftermath of any other hurricane, these look exactly like those.

Thanks!

Only had a couple days (really only one day - not enough in this instance) at most on this one. A week out, it was pointing somewhere else, forecasted to top out as a weak 3 and make landfall as a Tropical Storm. Two days out it was forecasted to land as a weak 3 over 250 miles from where it made landfall.

We can see them coming but intensity and track forecasting still sucks.

There already is! Florida has over a million boats, some very nice for sure but a whole [bleep] of very cheap to free for the taking. 20 year old big ones are the worst. They can be seen wedged up against the mangroves or sunk in shallow water just about anywhere. Costs the taxpayers to remove them and dispose of the carcass.
