Thoughts and prayers. I am heading out to buy a diesel truck for my 1 mile commute.
Make sure you get the rolling coal package
I thought that came standard in Florida
Keep in mind that purchasing a gasoline truck is better for maximum climate change acceleration. Diesel sadly produces less CO2 than gasoline, especially for heavy vehicles. Its advantage is mainly poisoning people's lungs a bit more, especially if you remember to remove all filters.
The hurricanes will continue until emissions improve.
Humanity:
That's not even a storm. That's the concept of a storm. Call me when it exits in reality and not just a computer.
Why you're getting downvoted: Hurricane/Typhoon predictions over a 5 day period have been well over 70% accurate in this decade. It's not just a guess anymore.

I don't care if I'm beng downvoted. The fact is that only one model is predicting a storm. Until all models agree (that's where your70% come from BTW] there is no reason to sensationalize. Even then, there is no indication on bearing of movement. It could go right into the Yucatan. While I'm aware that the Fox viewers in the Yucatan may be concerned, I'm also aware there are no Fox viewers in the Yucatan. But, hey, hype it all you want.
Fair assessment actually.
