I always think at some point someone said .... Hey I've got an idea, let's fly an airplane straight into it. Who wants to go first?
Probably just going in to change the direction of the path. New voter registration data came in *******************************************
Hey @615dawg... When you read through a thread like this and see how stupid some Mississippi State fans (and presumably graduates) are, it kinda feels like we may be overrated in the USNWR academics ratings, no? Anything better than 450 is probably too high with some of these morons dragging us down.
God speed Florida folks... Unless of course your an idiot that thinks the gubment made these hurricanes. In your case, go rest high on that mountain....
I'd think turbulence and downdrafts would be the biggie. The cruising speed of an airliner is maybe 550 mph (in much thinner atmosphere) but landing speed is pretty close to the wind speed of Milton. You get bounced around a lot more flying into a hurricane, but the relative wind speed, if that was the only factor, shouldn't be a huge deal. That said, I'm not going to fly into a hurricane.
Disney is closing everything in phases starting tomorrow, I think at noon. I believe the forecast is for 100 mph winds in Orlando.
My guess is any negativity toward "climate change" in general would be the second thing. Plus, a certain faith in humanity to adapt. As has been said in this debate a few times, humans' inventions (like say, medicine, air conditioning, insulation, etc.) have saved way more lives than they have caused deaths.

Why and how did we get to a place where we think Tampa would not get hit with a major hurricane at some point in time? These storms have always happened and we continue to build bigger, more concentrated and more expensive every time they hit. Insanity anyone?
Yes they have and science and technology will likely help mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Ignore the unformed on the extremes and let scientists and engineers figure out solutions that are reasonable. I'm not giving up air conditioning, air travel, modern medicine etc.
"Ignore the uninformed on the extremes" is a really good and necessary life philosophy these days. It's harder than it should be sometimes, I'll admit.
Earth is 4.3 Billion years old. The climate of Earth has been changing for 4.3 Billion years. The climate of Earth will continue to change for the remainder of the existence of Earth. Humankind is a gnat's fart in relation to the climate history of Earth. Earth's climate has been MUCH more extreme. Long before humans occupied it. "Climate change" is short for income redistribution. That's why it's always tied to a tax of some sort

Last I heard today was going to be its peak and then start coming back down for good. It went through an eyewall replacement cycle last night which weakened it, but it's coming back now and a 5 again.
Do you really think climate scientists are this selfish and so ignorant that they are unaware that earth's climate has changed over time? Is this something we should tell them? Do you really think scientists are gonna read this and say "oh shite, I didn't know that. All those years of education wasted." Climate changes from natural disasters have devastated some societies and the little Ice Age was unpleasant for lots of people. Try not to confuse science with public policy and conspiracies about taxes and redistribution pushed by some far lefties.
"Climate scientists " receive their income from government contracts. They're not independent
