We're about to remember why the weather was considered an act of the gods in ancient times.

Insurance Companies: What do you mean "ancient times"??

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Insurance companies: we won't cover your area anymore because it's not profitable. Sucks to suck... Ps your last premium payment is due on the first.

I'm right in the track of the eye. Metal shutters in place! Hope I see y'all Thursday!

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My family are in St Pete. Hope you're on high enough ground. Get out if you aren't.

[–] peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

East Tampa here. Luckily not in an evacuation zone. I hope you and your family are well and making preparations. Meet you again here on Thursday!

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm watching with bated breath from Seattle. Hope you fare well.

[–] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 9 points 1 year ago

Wishing you all the luck.

Thoughts and prayers 💀

Thinking of you as well as my best bro in Cape Coral! The Gulf Coast is getting fucking SLAMMED recently!

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found the journalist ⬆️

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lmao! I didn't even realize I did that, 😂. I'll send my resume to NYT right away.

My buddy tried to tell me that Ian was a "Once every 20 years storm" and I tried to tell him "Not if climate change isn't mitigated, it isnt."

I just never expected it to be back to back like this!

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Stay safe, friend! Hoping for the best.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

.....why? What's happening Thursday?

[–] peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The storm will have past and the survivors will log into Lemmy

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago

All of them.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'll still have internet?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Remember, don't flee into your attic, or if you do bring an axe or a way to break through.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We have some snorkels!

All is well, shutters worked great

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only thing i can think about for this one is Office Space Milton

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I live in Milton, FL, and like the last one, we're 100% dodging this one. Weird.

[–] immutable@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hurricane Milton wouldn’t attack his namesake, that’s just bad form

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the good lords way of apologizing for your close proximity to Alabama

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

LOL, I can get to Alabama faster than I can the beach.
