NOAA is forecasting a range of 17 to 25 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 8 to 13 are forecast to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 4 to 7 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). Forecasters have a 70% confidence in these ranges.

As part of what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is calling Freedom Summer, his Transportation Department has told cities across the state that if they want to light up their bridges at night, they can only use the colors red, white and blue.

That's the criteria for a named storm? In the midwest we just call that Tuesday.

*Whew* glad he didn't use the well known name of another major event in American history to name his summer political action...

As we all know, all you need to have in order to redirect a storm is a black Sharpie marker.

DeSantis and his GOP cronies should be staked out on a FL beach in the path of an oncoming hurricane. That would be poetic justice.

Well, sadly because De Santis doesn't give a shit, it really will be a "Freedom Summer" as in residents will be free of their homes, cars, boats, and land. They are already free of Insurance.

I've been watching the developments in the Atlantic myself (amateur meteorologist), Florida to Connecticut is going to be in for a rough season this year. Don't wait, start prepping now while you can.
