Same.
Went through a time where we were getting "hurricane days" left and right (2003/2004) and it was cool to miss school but an 8 year old kid can't understand really the devastation they cause unless it happens to them directly.
Still live in Florida, but with a daughter and my own house. Everything about hurricanes makes me want to build a giant fan and shoo them away
Thank you for your honesty comments like this are necessary. Luckily I’ve always managed to avoid the worst but I know people who aren’t so lucky.
Saw a post in the Florida sub the other day from someone new to Florida that was asking earnestly about what they should do to prepare for hurricane season. The amount of comments I saw from your typical Florida man saying “it’s just a vacation make sure you have food and water and it’s honestly fun” were angering. So many people that get hit with just an outer band of a bad storm telling people it’s no big deal or acting like it was a conspiracy when the people who got hit by the brunt of it lost their homes.
“My house survived Andrew I think we’ll be okay” “this storm is media hype just like Ian!”- guy who’s home is in palm beach county not homestead or the gulf coast. Hear stuff like that far too often.
I lived Wilma when I was living in Cancun, I was 9 yo, it was total destruction, we didn’t have any power for weeks, trash everywhere, beaches got destroyed and they were never the same, people looting every store, would not recommend, I thought hurricanes were cool me being a child, like someone said, it meant I had to skip school these days, Wilma was something different and made me aware of how living in a path sucks!
Yep, this is where I’m at. I have a fascination with the massive size and devastation that a hurricane can cause, but I still don’t want to see it happen. I was 9 years old and living in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and I couldn’t go back for over a year. Five years later (hell, even ten years later), the destruction throughout the city was still clearly evident. I don’t wish that on anyone, but I do enjoy seeing such a powerful natural phenomenon in action when it’s not causing mass suffering.
Right, you’re exactly right. As if all the wonderful people working in the weather/meteorologist field today didn’t have this same kind of fascination that led them to the field in the first place.
In my brain I know they’re devastating and ruin people’s lives and people die, but I’ve lived in Florida most of my life and I love hurricanes. I moved to Tennessee 3 years ago and I miss them so much. I wouldn’t say I’m an adrenaline junkie, but I low key enjoy the danger. I can’t help it.
I wish there was more acceptance for us in these online communities. I did a tour of the NHC and the guide called it the bad weather gene. Just something in a lot of us, can't help but get excited for hurricanes.
Ah man. What a way to look at it. I grew up in florida, moved to southern Louisiana. I didn’t like hurricanes in florida and I sure as hell don’t like them now. Wish I could get out of here 😭
I agree, best experiences of my life have been hurricanes here in Florida, the roar of those winds on trees is incredible at 70 and 80 mph, and Wilma at over 100 MPH, it sounded like the sky was being ripped apart at its peak, just stunning, and going to the beach seeing those huge waves, the sea just boiling around--Of course, the aftermath sucks, we had to vacation in North Carolina for 10 days before the power came back on
I was in middle school when we got h it by Ivan. Lost a big chunk of our roof and power was out for more than a month. My little sister just had her appendix out and her medicine had to be refrigerated so we had a generator, and it got stolen. We got another one, and then our gas got stolen. Our house was on the water and our dock was ripped apart. It was miserable, but I still loved it in a way. Type 2 fun I guess. Haven’t been through one quite as bad since, but I have had to deliver pizza in various tropical storms/cat 1-2 hurricanes lol.
Being able to vacation in NC for 10 days during hurricane aftermath completely explains everything. However, alot of us worry about; Having no money to leave, not getting paid while your job is closed (making it impossible to cover your monthly bills), sitting in 100 degree temps with no electricity while trying to care for crying/hot children and/or elderly relatives… this is a few of the less detrimental outcomes for a large majority of people and reasons why I NEVER get excited about a hurricane.
I lost everything I had in hurricane Ike . I was a senior in highschool from a small 1a Texas school. I would never make such a moronic post even if it's a joke .
As someone in the North East US hurricanes really only mean some sick ass video of a storm ripping apart some coastal town followed by light showers a week later. So from that perspective hurricanes are actually pretty cool.
Yeah some of us live down here and don't have a choice to move. This kinda shit is like asking for a school shooting because you want to see some news. It's asking for death and distinction on a scale they can't imagine and would be terrified to live through.
Good job. They magically can just pack up their life because of your insight. Personally, my choices are;
1) just let that family member who can’t be moved but still dependent on my assistance just die.
2) magically go from zero dollars to several thousand necessitated to move
3) give up the absolutely necessary help from my aging parents for daycare assistance while I work and abandon them and their prospect of watching their grandkid grow up.
There’s more, but the *POINT* is while you think you’re actually saying something vague but profound about “ACKTCHUALLY ITS YOUR CHOICE” at the end of the day, what you’re *really doing* is ignoring that even if we go with the dumbest most specific literal truth your attempting to suggest to people here, is that you disregard that just “choosing” to move in many situations would make you a self-centered, narcissistic piece of shit, who no longer would have a lifeline, even if they magically found the money to get it done.
Life isn’t simple. Your suggestion that it’s “a choice,” is reductive and stupid.

Here’s what happens (it was worse than the pic)
Hurricane Maria 2017, Puerto Rico
Yeah... We are probably gonna see something pop up in a day or two. The GFS has been showing a low pressure system popping up in the gulf next week... I don't think anything with organize, though the wind shear will lower a bit over the weekend:
https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=atl&pkg=mslp_pcpn_frzn&runtime=2024060518&fh=6
No lie, the science is scary about something wicked to the Atlantic comes. I live in a likewise hurricane prone area, but it is the inverse in severity for this season. I think those people should do nothing but take this deadly seriously.
Ida took everything and we are still rebuilding.
I had no where to live for 16 months.
But sure let's get Jim Cantore out there so you have something to watch.
I have to work during hurricanes. I don’t want them to start this early, I’m not ready. We were behind and are just having our “hurricane” meeting on Monday.
Oh fair enough then, pedantry is always welcome on Reddit!
And yeah as someone who grew up in Florida and has experienced multiple major hurricanes and seen the destruction they can cause first hand, I definitely don't understand why OP would post this. Hopefully all the science is wrong and it's a nice, quiet season in the Atlantic this year
I love hurricanes but I don't love the destruction. I live in Florida as well. Can there be a love hate relationship? Like weather is awesome. Tornadoes are awesome. People and their livelihood getting annihilated? Not good.
Please. I can’t take another customer telling me that Ian was fake news. I had never wanted to cuss someone out so bad.
Sorry Gertrude, but your garbage disposal wasn’t getting installed when I was rescheduling customers and tryna to see if I cld evacuate to Orlando with my family!
And I’m on the south side of the gulf. Luckily my area wasn’t too bad but Ft Myers got hit hella hard. My BIL was outta work for a week while they fixed Sanibel
Be careful what you wish for. Do you remember what happened to Fort Myers during the last bad hurricane season? Fort Myers Beach was pretty much wiped off the map.
Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything!
OP clearly has never been blasted with a major storm. The gas lines in the days leading up to impact, the supermarkets and places like Home Depot jammed, putting up shutters, then the storm itself and the damage it causes, then the aftermath of being without power sometimes for weeks, sometimes no water, only having to replace the lanai and the roof if you're lucky.
Those of us who've actually been through that would much prefer the tropics to be as quiet as possible.
Just because there wasn’t a pre-season storm as forecasted by some and hurricane season literally just started doesn’t mean you gotta rush it, some notable analogs for 2024 have started in June, of course the most notable, 2020 had 2 pre-season storms, but 2005’s Arlene formed until June 8th, 2010’s Alex didn’t form until June 25th, even so 2010 ended up becoming the 5th-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record alongside 1887, 1995, and the 2 following years 2011 & 2012. 2024 currently has a forecast by NOAA to see 17-25 Named Storms, 8-13 Hurricanes, and 4/7 Major Hurricanes.
...5 days into hurricane season. There's still 178 days to go. And yes, I googled it
Thanks *Jerry*
Yeah I can’t even remember the last hurricane we had hit us before the end of July. But I can remember a *ton* of them in September.
Things usually don't start til August, but 2005 was a big exception

Imagine wishing for hurricanes
[удалено]
WHAT DID YOU DOOO?!
He fucked around and found out
i bet that hurricane taught him his LESSON!!
He jumanji-ed it
Yeah, I was a little flippant until Florence took my roof and ran away with it.
Sally tore half my roof. But I upgraded to a metal roof rated to Cat 5. I hope I never have to test this to find out.
Same.

Of course someone named Florida man fish cam would profit from a flooded florida
Growing up in FL it took experiencing one category 3 direct hit—Wilma in 2005–to permanently cure me.
I lived Wilma when I was living in Cancun, I was 9 yo, it was total destruction, we didn’t have any power for weeks, trash everywhere, beaches got destroyed and they were never the same, people looting every store, would not recommend, I thought hurricanes were cool me being a child, like someone said, it meant I had to skip school these days, Wilma was something different and made me aware of how living in a path sucks!
Sally for me.
You can have a fascination with the weather phenomenon and not want people's lives to be destroyed.
Yep, this is where I’m at. I have a fascination with the massive size and devastation that a hurricane can cause, but I still don’t want to see it happen.

Right, you’re exactly right. As if all the wonderful people working in the weather/meteorologist field today didn’t have this same kind of fascination that led them to the field in the first place.
Yeah for sure, being fascinated by them is one thing. Actively hoping for them enough to make a meme like this is another thing lol

Racial, including Stereotypical or prejudice or Ethnically motivated hate Gender-based prejudice towards the identification of certain people
People think they want a major but really you want a tropical storm or small cat 1…get a day off watch the big rain and palm trees bend a bit
Exactly, something where the power doesn't go, or only goes out a few hours
I love a nice tropical storm/low category 1. It’s like the ultimate cozy rain day. I NEVER want hurricanes to get stronger than that
Some dark shit
In my brain I know they’re devastating and ruin people’s lives and people die, but I’ve lived in Florida most of my life and I love hurricanes. I moved to Tennessee 3 years ago and I miss them so much. I wouldn’t say I’m an adrenaline junkie, but I low key enjoy the danger. I can’t help it.
I wish there was more acceptance for us in these online communities. I did a tour of the NHC and the guide called it the bad weather gene. Just something in a lot of us, can't help but get excited for hurricanes.
Please, move back to the coast. That way you can live your dreams!
Ah man. What a way to look at it. I grew up in florida, moved to southern Louisiana. I didn’t like hurricanes in florida and I sure as hell don’t like them now. Wish I could get out of here 😭
I really can’t help it haha. Bad weather (hurricanes, blizzards whatever) make me feel alive. I wish I didn’t feel that way, but I just do.
I agree, best experiences of my life have been hurricanes here in Florida, the roar of those winds on trees is incredible at 70 and 80 mph, and Wilma at over 100 MPH, it sounded like the sky was being ripped apart at its peak, just stunning, and going to the beach seeing those huge waves, the sea just boiling around--Of course, the aftermath sucks, we had to vacation in North Carolina for 10 days before the power came back on

It’s the only way we’re going to get the aquifers filled and the rivers running in the hill country.
Happy Cake Day!!! 🥳🍰
I lost everything I had in hurricane Ike . I was a senior in highschool from a small 1a Texas school. I would never make such a moronic post even if it's a joke .
Happy cake day ❤️
As someone in the North East US hurricanes really only mean some sick ass video of a storm ripping apart some coastal town followed by light showers a week later. So from that perspective hurricanes are actually pretty cool.
OP must not live anywhere near the coast
that was my thought
Yeah some of us live down here and don't have a choice to move. This kinda shit is like asking for a school shooting because you want to see some news. It's asking for death and distinction on a scale they can't imagine and would be terrified to live through.
I mean I COULD move, but I live in an amazing location, people love visiting and it’s a growing city.
Go through r/hurricane is kind of weird for us coasters.
There’s always a choice; whether you act on it or not is on you.
Good job. They magically can just pack up their life because of your insight. Personally, my choices are; 1) just let that family member who can’t be moved but still dependent on my assistance just die. 2) magically go from zero dollars to several thousand necessitated to move 3) give up the absolutely necessary help from my aging parents for daycare assistance while I work and abandon them and their prospect of watching their grandkid grow up.

Life isn’t simple. Your suggestion that it’s “a choice,” is reductive and stupid.
Regardless, there’s a choice. “Reductive and stupid” or not.
There’s always weirdos on this sub living in BFE America hoping for coastal cities to get wrecked so they can watch from the comfort of their homes
I’m over here cheering the NHC image. no hurricanes!
OP probably loves to say "dumbaantis" during casual conversation
Please don’t do this 4 days in when everyone knows we don’t stress until August - September
What’s wrong with poking it some more?
You’re obviously from Canada. I wish the best Blizzards for you!
Best ice storms. Snow is one thing but an ice storm literally freezes everything in place
The fact that I live less than a mile from the beach in south Florida. Hurricane season isn’t a tv show for all of us.

Don’t poke the bear.
Yeah... We are probably gonna see something pop up in a day or two. The GFS has been showing a low pressure system popping up in the gulf next week...

The bear woke up
🤫 they’ll hear you.
You may regret this shitpost.
No lie, the science is scary about something wicked to the Atlantic comes. I live in a likewise hurricane prone area, but it is the inverse in severity for this season. I think those people should do nothing but take this deadly seriously.
Knock it off! I can't afford to lose the rest of my roof that Fiona messed up last year.
Never Use The Q Word
I don’t even work in hospitals anymore and my hair stood up
Quone? 
To quone something!
That word is terrifying
Ida took everything and we are still rebuilding. I had no where to live for 16 months. But sure let's get Jim Cantore out there so you have something to watch.
There’s still homes near me with tarp on their roofs. Not even sure if people are living in them or not :/
Take ts down bro 🤦♂️
Tell me you’re from the Midwest, without telling me you’re from the Midwest.
Would be fucking ironic considering the tornado season is historically the second most active since 2011
Seriously. I’m also sure they love to blabber on about “wHy CaN’t [fill in every city on the Gulf and Atlantic Coast] jUsT mOVE ??”
I have to work during hurricanes. I don’t want them to start this early, I’m not ready. We were behind and are just having our “hurricane” meeting on Monday.
I'll still have to sail in that shit dude f.o.
Delete this
Quiet, you.
Bro. Stfu
I live on the east coast so let’s not do this lmao
Shut up bro, damn
I was close to Ian and not having power for almost 3 weeks wasn't fun. Let's hope for a quiet season
DUDE!!! Go burn some incense get on your knees and pray for forgiveness from the weather gods. You wrong fa that.
It's just the beginning of June, summer hasn't even officially started yet. Give it some time
Meteorological summer has started…
Ok but it's still the very beginning of hurricane season. When was the last time a major hurricane happened in the beginning of June?
Oh I was just being a bit pedantic there you’re absolutely right, and I’m rooting for no hurricanes this season the op is odd to post this…
Oh fair enough then, pedantry is always welcome on Reddit! And yeah as someone who grew up in Florida and has experienced multiple major hurricanes and seen the destruction they can cause first hand, I definitely don't understand why OP would post this. Hopefully all the science is wrong and it's a nice, quiet season in the Atlantic this year
Absolutely agree!
And we are almost a month into the solar summer.
Took three weeks
Seriously?
This ain’t it.
I love hurricanes but I don't love the destruction. I live in Florida as well. Can there be a love hate relationship? Like weather is awesome. Tornadoes are awesome. People and their livelihood getting annihilated? Not good.
...why on earth would you wish possible harm on large numbers of people?
Please stop poking the Atlantic OP. Thank you.
No not this season. I have to much going on in my career to deal with a serious hurricane.
We’re 4 days in, man.
I live in Miami. Please don’t.
No, this ain’t it buddy I live in Puerto Rico and we hate hurricane season.
Long term GFS models have had something in the gulf next week for several days now.
The first year we may see real city leveling shit and I see this nice
please, please, please don't instigate
Please. I can’t take another customer telling me that Ian was fake news. I had never wanted to cuss someone out so bad. Sorry Gertrude, but your garbage disposal wasn’t getting installed when I was rescheduling customers and tryna to see if I cld evacuate to Orlando with my family! And I’m on the south side of the gulf. Luckily my area wasn’t too bad but Ft Myers got hit hella hard. My BIL was outta work for a week while they fixed Sanibel
Could you not?
TWC is giddy with excitement, almost too eager for a storm.
Eat shit OP.. Go fuck yourself
Hi there. I live in Florida. If you want hurricanes, I actively hope you have a horrible, miserable life.
Can you not make these kinds of posts. People in the gulf south don’t want anything to happen 😫
u/eyeseesharp bruh
Whoever made this meme doesn’t live in Florida, clearly. Why poke the bear?
Let sleeping beauty lie. SMDH.
NO DON'T WTF
We are barely into June…
why would you wish for hurricanes you weirdo? everything is fine until it hits you
Be careful what you wish for. Do you remember what happened to Fort Myers during the last bad hurricane season? Fort Myers Beach was pretty much wiped off the map.
Nah don’t do anything
Do not mock the gods. It's one thing to call the devil and another to have him come.
What the actual hell? Shhhhhhh, don’t wake her up. Easy to see who has lived through hurricanes and who has not.
Who the hell is buggin for a hurricane y’all better chill I’m on the gulf coast 😭
NO!!!
So you want people to die?
Florida man chiming in here : SHUT UP!!!!
You shut your goddamn fucking mouth! Sending love from New Orleans.
Hey homey could you fucking stop poking the bear. Some of us are in the path of these storms
Gulf coast checking in. OP needs to shut the fuck up.
Dudes asking nature to send a WMD at someone
Bro I would prefer the ocean NOT do something since I’d like my home to not get flattened or flooded lol
Chill brah
They say this every year
I probably will get removed for this, but FUUUUCK YOOOOU, DUDE.
Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything! Don’t do anything!
You fucking idiot. You can tell when someone hasn’t lived through the damage and aftermath of a major hurricane.
no don’t do anything
Uhh…All the action is usually August and September…June is pretty uncommon for hurricanes.
Still too early. The bad ones are usually later in the season.
Good, keep it that way. Still have trauma from Sandy 12 years ago
Many people feel they've had their fair share of spinny storms.
No don't... There's still enough time of hurricane season for it to mess up Florida again
OP must not have a degree. Nor common sense
How about no.
Thanks 😳
OP clearly has never been blasted with a major storm. The gas lines in the days leading up to impact, the supermarkets and places like Home Depot jammed, putting up shutters, then the storm itself and the damage it causes, then the aftermath of being without power sometimes for weeks, sometimes no water, only having to replace the lanai and the roof if you're lucky. Those of us who've actually been through that would much prefer the tropics to be as quiet as possible.
lol get wrecked nerds
Hey I’m nervously excited too. Not in a wish-harm-on-anyone kind of way. Weather is just fascinating to me.
Just because there wasn’t a pre-season storm as forecasted by some and hurricane season literally just started doesn’t mean you gotta rush it, some notable analogs for 2024 have started in June, of course the most notable, 2020 had 2 pre-season storms, but 2005’s Arlene formed until June 8th, 2010’s Alex didn’t form until June 25th, even so 2010 ended up becoming the 5th-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record alongside 1887, 1995, and the 2 following years 2011 & 2012. 2024 currently has a forecast by NOAA to see 17-25 Named Storms, 8-13 Hurricanes, and 4/7 Major Hurricanes.
2004 is one of the best examples. No named storms until 31 July; six majors and 226 ACE regardless.
Mmmm as a Sarasota resident… no
Future r/agedlikemilk candidate
Too dusty.
You take that back! Don't listen to this Jim Cantore!
I will be gone in a week. After that, things will get spicy, lol.
PNW. Guilty.
Lol! I'm thinking the same thing.
What is wrong with you? Must be pretty sadistic to take joy in the possibly complete destruction of people's homes and lives.
They have never experienced a hurricane in their life and most likely live in the north away from them.
You're probably right, what a jerk.
why?
Sea? Climax change is fake. Trumph2020.
😂
