    This is extremely offtopic i know, and it has nothing to do with TSW, but just let me explain…

    this might have some effect on the forum members, for people living in Florida, there will probably be someone here.

    Hurricane Milton will be the worst hurricane Florida has experienced in over a century, hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated, if not millions, however, for the people who are still in Tampa, and haven’t evacuated, they are in danger.

    this hurricane, in terms of pressure has nearly hit the mathematical limit of what the earths atmosphere can produce over a body of water


    I’m not even kidding right now, the mayor of Florida has said that if you don’t get out, you will die.

    This is a very very serious disaster waiting to happen, and all I can say is, that I just pray for the people of Tampa and the people of Florida, and I pray this goes by quickly

    Well, we are in the off-topic part of the forums. ;)

    It is terrible. All those poor people having to leave their homes. I've read that the entire peninsula will be affected.

    Unfortunately, disasters like this are becoming more common every day.

    After seeing what has occurred in North Carolina, this genuinely breaks my heart deeply, especially because I have a friend in Tampa!
    I genuinely just want this to be over. I have so many prayers for the people in Tampa, yet it probably won't do much for the incoming disaster.

    If that hurricane wasn’t bad enough, reports are now coming in about a tornado forming just off Tampa

    this is getting wild, and pretty scary

    I still remember watching news about Katrina, and thats like 100 years ago it seems now... as a sports fan, I remember New Orleans NBA club relocating to Oklahoma temporarily... and if this one is even worse, I can see some major Florida franchises having to play on substitute venues soon :/
