The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Helene | Hurricane Milton

When does the storm surge normally hit? I ask because if it’s making landfall at 7am, isn’t that usually around high tide? And wouldn’t that make it worse?
 
Fecking hell. Is Milton worse than previous hurricanes to hit the US?

Last time a hurricane went from west to east was 1888 apparently. In addition to that it's 4th most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic.

Yeah if it's already a high tide it's gonna be much, much worse. It's a literal recipe for disaster.

Tides generally shift forwards 50mins per day so there’s no “usual” time for high tide.
 
The tornados on the west coast of Florida look terrifying.
Milton looks like it be closer to Tampa, easterly turn isnt happening yet.
 
Guy on the news I had on said he spoke to someone who believes the hurricane is being geo engineered by the political opposition or some shit...

How could anyone possibly believe that.
