The reports I've seen show a wind sheer likely dropping it back down to a 3 before it hits land, but that will still be pretty big and bad.

Yes there will be weakening before it hits between Clearwater and Naples due to wind shear. But still at 2/3 at landfall

Problem is the stronger it is now the worse storm surge will be.

This is sure to be another retired name just like Helene. Extreme damage coming. A difference of 50 miles will mean a lot for places like Tampa and even inland like Orlando

Yesterday I got an alert saying it got downgraded to Cat 1, now it shot up to 4. That'll be horrible.

I'm sure the nutjobs are foaming at the mouth talking about weather manipulation and such even more now.

If anything it'll just make people believe it's weather manipulation or the hurricane was seeded to become stronger.

That's the kind of stupidity we have to stop.

Nah. The deniers would rather blame gay people or claim Democrats have a weather changing machine than admit to climate change.

They wont. Theyll just double down again and say that God is sending hurricanes because Florida is too woke. Or something stupid like that.

They were. Just like it never used to get this hot, and snow used to be rarer in the south.

They used to be. But thats what we keep talking about with climate change. The seas are getting warmer, which means hurricanes get stronger more often.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if he was able to do it.

Next question is obviously if Congress will do that and how soon? AFAIK FEMA has almost used up their budget and hurricane season has just started.

There's an absolutely ridiculous amount of misinformation going around

Ranging from the government causing the hurricanes, to fema confiscating supplies and seizing property

A lot of this shit is from congressmen and Trump too

republican's will probably not want to put more funds into FEMA so they can blame biden/harris for not doing enough.

if trump was president and this happened... no problem in getting what they need.
