Intense rain in parts of Florida has submerged neighborhoods, turned roads into rivers, closed schools and left more than 108,000 customers without power.
Heavy rain fell over central and southern Florida from Wednesday into early Thursday because of a slow-moving storm system over the Gulf of Mexico.
As many as 7 million people were under flood watches Wednesday. Meanwhile, strong onshore winds created gusts that reached 74 mph at an elevated weather station near Miami and 63 mph at Dania Pier near Fort Lauderdale.
Must be god punishing them for California again.
No no no, this is God punishing them because of Disney World. DeSantis failed his people and needs to take further action against them
Now just one second. I have it on very good authority that God works in mysterious ways. Your outline above has a clear narrative, and is therefore invalid.
Checkmate, mumblegrumble!
Is it not divine punishment when bad weather hits Florida?
It seems really unusual for so much tropical activity to be happening this late in the year. There’s even a potential hurricane brewing south of Cuba. WTF it’s mid November!?
Climate change is only going to get worse from here
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, this is not a recent change.
I’m not talking about what’s on paper. I’m talking about observed climate activity happening in the real world. I’ve spent nearly 40 years in FL. Shit has changed.
I just moved to Miami last month, from the NYC area and it rained hard for nearly 20 hours. It was raining so hard that I could hear the rain just pelting down on the courtyard 40 feet below me through my glass sliding door and over my TV. We got not one, but two emergency warnings that pretty much said “don’t go outside unless you absolutely have to , you might die”.
I haven’t seen it rain that hard and steadily since Hurricane Sandy hit NJ and NYC.
Lol I remember you… Former city boy as well, still don’t get why tf you’d pick MIA.
Good luck, buddy.
Because it’s an awesome city. I’ve had a lot more fun here in the past month here than I did in years in NYC.
Ooof. Timeoutnyc.com etc… I don’t know you, but it sounds more like a lack of friends or network, which is basically impossible in NYC? I’ve been in mia several times, lots more appearance than meaning to a lot of people I met. There were a few cool cats too, but few and far between. Good luck.
I looked on there multiple times. NYC is so spread out that even people I became friends with it was difficult to see due to the shitty transit outside of Manhattan. I had a bunch of friends up in Astoria, but since I was down by Park Slope (Windsor Terrace) it could easily take me an hour or more just to get up there. Some even lived further out in Queens. It took me about an hour to get over to my friend in Jersey City, and if I hung out with him past midnight it could easily take me 1.5-2 hours to get home. I did the track multiple times.
Yeah, I feel ya. I wound up just using my bicycle most of the time. Tell me how I’m faster riding from 125th to 59th on my bicycle than the A??
Lived in east new York for a while, now that was annoying, transit-wise.
I live near LA now. NYC’s spread-out is comical, comparitively. Sigh, I really miss the NYC nightlife. At least Miami has that going for it, plus the cool art deco buildings. Not that LA doesn’t have it, but you can’t really walk.
What stage of capitalism do we start referring to citizens as customers during a disaster?
Didn’t most of the insurance companies left FL earlier this year? So wouldn’t it be future customers for the construction companies?
Consumption guarantees citizenship! o7
I genuinely feel bad for the normal people trapped in that shit-hole with all those conservatives.
The no name spinner gets some press.
