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!
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.
Is it not divine punishment when bad weather hits Florida?
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.
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.
