Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

I suggest checking out @marni1971 as he's not a vlogger in the annoying sense! He makes great videos about Disney and never gets in anybody's face

I think there’s a difference between people that research and put out a “polished” product

And buffoons that show themselves in parks and beg for likes

I'm pretty sure that shark video is fake, or at least not from this storm.

This is how I first saw the video framed. Has there been actual debunking?

MCO is gonna get busted up. To bad about that shiny new terminal.

You'd hope they built it with hurricanes in mind. Thats silly LCD wall they've got in the middle looks expensive.

 

[Disorbust]

What about the LCD artwork st the new Disney store?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Or the professor in ‘Real Genius’.

Great guilty pleasure flick…with one of the best songs ever

The Boma First Come First Served Line. It's almost like being back in a park!

Maybe I'm different but when a hurricane is coming I'm not that hungry especially to eat in an all u can eat.

Please note i am not downplaying the hurricane.

Watching hurricane coverage over the years to me is odd. People getting supplies and deciding if they should stay etc. then you have the people that say “thank you for rescuing me from my roof, i should have left”

i live in tornado alley and at most you might have an hour to prepare, sometimes minutes not weeks or days. The difference i see is most people that have tornadoes always have survival supplies, water, food some have generators. And we either have storm shelters, or know someone that does. If we didnt and knew an f5 was even possible we would be gone.

I don't think it's been officially debunked -- I just haven't been able to find any confirmation that it's real either. That tweet is the first time I've seen it from a potentially reputable source, though, so maybe it is real!

Timelapse of the storm surge coming in at Ground Zero...

Man that's crazy

Haha I wasn’t expecting to keep it but thought it was good. Just ventured out and impressed with amount of food service and entertainment that is being provided even Toledo’s terrace is back open with a buffet menu

Coronado treated us very well during both Irma and Dorian. What I wouldn’t give to be there right now. Instead we’re 98 miles away in our new RV.

Yes, we’re in a much safer area, but did I mention the part about being in an RV?

(We have an ADR at Toledo for 10/2. Given that I’m pretty sure our Fort Wilderness reservation is going to be cancelled, I doubt we’ll be eating there. Or anywhere in WDW. )

This shark is not a hoax.

People are really “bad at hurricanes”

Consider Florida as a special case in that group as well…it’s a “thing”

I'm just glad you're safe and can't wait to hear about the in person coffee table encounter with guilty faces

 

[natatomic]

That’s pretty cool. But someone @ me when there’s a video posted of an alligator and a shark duking it out in the parking lot of a Publix.

Boma cost during Hurricane: $20. Let's not kid ourselves. Menu is scaled down and price doesn't include alcohol, as usual.

Edit: I wouldn't know the difference about a "scaled down" menu at Boma.

Couple of things:

Basements/storm shelters aren’t really a thing in the South, for various reasons.

Those people may have supplies, generators, etc. They may also be in an area where flooding/storm surge was not an issue in previous storms, so they thought they could ride it out.

There are also those who have stayed before for previous storms and think they will be fine again.

And finally, some people simply do not have the money to evacuate and feel they have no choice to stay. You would hope they would go to a shelter in that case.

I agree with you that hurricanes can give someone plenty of time to prepare and plan, but the devil is as always in the details.

I tip my hat to those who live in tornado alley, I don’t know how you do it when a threat can just materialize out of nowhere.

He hasn’t given people enough reasons to hate him already?

He has no conscience...literally thinks everyone else are the jerks.

That might have already happened in a Syfy network movie
