if a category 3 or even category 4 hurricane directly hits Tampa, Florida, the insurance market will collapse overnight and it will be an unimaginable, complete catastrophe that i'm not sure the United States is capable of handling on top of ongoing Helene recovery. keep anyone who has the misfortune of living in Florida in your thoughts because this particular storm is going directly over very, very warm gulf of mexico waters and has the potential to be a monster.

#just adding the newest nhc noaa chart because it looks significantly worse #I think some people are underselling the severity of this storm #a storm forming in the west gulf and then heading east towards Tampa... has literally never happened before #at least as long as we've been tracking hurricanes #I genuinely think we're looking at a castastrophe-level event here due to the already damaged infrastructure plus the lack of #preparedness due to never Really receiving a direct hurricane hit #basically I'm just saying. mutuals. I probably won't be on for a while. things will probably not be okay here.#it's not surprising to me that people not in the path of the hurricane aren't really talking about it but like #what if you knew a tornado would destroy your neighbor's house tomorrow?#what if you knew hurricane katrina was coming and you knew the levee wouldn't hold?#the best we can hope for is weeks without power. idk how I'm going to keep my aquariums going that long #everyone should thank pinellas county for taking the first hit because it might not be there anymore next week
