Arizona has much better weather than Florida.
The flip side. People living in Asheville, NC their whole lives never saw a flash flood either!

I’d be more worried about smart scientific people being able to generate/steer/intensify weather. Crazy, I know.

All river front communities eventually see flooding. Silt and debris settle in creeks and rivers over the years removing volume capacity. The French Broad River was no exception even at 2200 feet. Logs, trees etc. usually fall in the river during heavy storms.

Lady Lake
W. Hermosa Street and Gibson Street
Oct. 7: open 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.


Sumter County will have sand and sandbags available for Sumter County residents for self-service at the Lake Panasoffkee Regional Recreation Park, 1589 CR 459, Lake Panasoffkee, FL starting at 8:00 a.m. until 5 p.m. on

To obtain the sand and sandbags, residents will need to provide proof of residence within Sumter County and should bring a shovel if they have one. Residents pick up sandbags, fill them, and place them in their vehicles. There is a 10-sandbag limit per vehicle.

Default Trajectory

The storm trajectory has nudged north, winds are 155 mph sustained. Still a Cat 4 but is expected to reach 165 mph by 2 pm. Watch your neighbor, bring things in whenever possible.

The last time Ashville, NC was flooded out, drowning deaths, buildings washed away, and had to rebuild was 1919. The technological world hasn't started yet, so historical information is very spotty and limited. Kind of an example of a 100 year event. . . which few if any remember, and the third generation has lost the handed down stories from the era, so local history restarts again. .

YMMV

When The Weather Channel sends a reporter to MCO you know that our area could have some serious weather issues.

Maybe, but tornadoes are possible and can be more intense than the hurricanes.

It looks like we are going to see 100 year events .......now every 2 years. Things have changed DRAMATICALLY.

Although debating Climate Change maybe useful, that may be more appropriate for another Thread. Milton is very serious and Milton is not Helene. If I was going to hunker down in a manufactured home like many did during Helene, I would be thinking to evacuate this time to a shelter or a friends house. Helene was more than a hundred miles out in the Gulf. Milton is very different. Just saying…
