That's obvious BS.

Look how many there were in the late 20s, early 30s, for example.

Same with Cat 4

There are too many cars to move them all out of an area on relatively
short notice. Even if the roads could support the amount of traffic
there are more cars than able-bodied adults available at any given time
to drive them all out.

I don't think it's a matter of desire nobody wants their car to be
flooded out I don't suppose. but it's a resource/logistical problem that
can't be solved either by government or citizens operating in
coordination, on short notice, effectively.


Government emergency services aren't going to help at all with that
process either if even one person dies in a storm and the citizens and
media go to the government and are like "Hey what were you doing?" "Oh
we were also organizing an effort to move all the Toyota Corollas to
safety" it's not going to look good.

Oh please. All you have to do is drive your freaking car to high ground.
How do you get to an organized effort to move Toyotas? Does it take a
village now to move your freaking car?

They're going to say all non-essential vehicles that are not emergency
vehicles or directly engaged in the evacuation of people need to stay
off the road.

Only if you're stupid and wait until the last minute.
Right now the hurricane is forecasted to come ashore in SC on Thurs.
If I had a car in an area where it's known to flood, I'd be planning
right now, ie where can I move it to, when will I move it, etc.
Plenty of videos of the smart, reasonable people preparing as
hurricanes approach, everything from boarding up windows, to taking
in furniture. It's the dopes that wind up with cars under water.
And in many videos of the aftermath, you only had to move cars ten
blocks! Imbeciles left them right at the beach block.

Before we had ships with radio transmitters, and cars and paved
highways, there was no way for people to know that a hurricane was
coming in, and no way to get out of its path. The great Galveston
storm of 1900 was a surprise, with no way to escape, about the last
big one to arrive unexpected.

Unfortunately, even tracking a storm by satellite and radar is still
not highly predictive of its strength or path.

That's not true, certainly not in terms of giving lots of notice to save
lives. The accuracy from about 2 days out has been very good. And
for sure even before that, they have the likely places it could hit
identified. The problem today isn't the forecasting, it's people
choosing to disregard them or less frequently stupid officials not having
proper plans, not issuing the right directives as the hurricane approaches.

It's interesting in so many of these hurricanes or other heavy rains

It's fun to watch the computer track projections. They are all new

(I'll regrain from commenting on computer climate projections.)

When I was a teenager, Betsy was scooting West towards Texas, and a
famous pompous NOLA weatherman assured us it would miss us. Then it
did a 90 degree turn to the north, and the eye passed over us late in
the night.

It's not going to make landfall there. But it is threatening a huge swath of coastline from north Florida all the way to North Carolina. The coastal wetlands there are really low elevation and serve as habitat for millions of birds and other wildlife, with more than a few species already critically endangered. So it's looking like it will be another environmental disaster.

ROFL

Hurricanes are part of the environment.

Typical ignoramus response...hurricane damage would be less of a disaster if wildlife populations were sustainably large. But many are not. Maybe there's something about endangered you don't understand. The dangerous population declines are almost all due to man made interference, things like habitat destruction, no end of toxins in the environment, massive coastal algae blooms due to agricultural runoff, and introduced species like this thing:

Could it be the front of the seat ? When I was sick certain cars bothered my lags. Seems to me the front of the seat was too high. Had the same problem when I was riding in the truck with the Hillbilly, I cannot have my legs dangling or anywhere near it. That is because they do not tolerate the pressure well in the back. Fifty nine and on the decline.

The seat is adjustable in height and position.

Almost a guarantee it will happen, and in the following order:
doctor's appointment made, 100+ mile radius total power out, total
shutdown of roads, doctor's appointment, door found closed and bolted.

You don't make appointments with the VA. They tell you when they have an open appointment. All the VA facilities south of mine were closed yesterday. I have never seen a total power outage that large, in Florida. Irma snapped off a lot of older poles, and the utilities have been upgrading a lot of areas with heavier and taller poles along with heavier cables. This gets them above a lot of trees, which do most of the damage. the !@#$%^&* environmentalists have managed to make it expensive and difficulty to remove trees, so the old Water Oaks fall over into poles because of a very shallow root system. The state declared the main road past my subdivision a scenic route. That meant that it was illegal to trim the trees, and large dead branches would fall on cars. They had to undesignate the road, because it quickly became unsafe to use it. When I first moved here 20 years ago the trees were so thick that you needed your headlights at noon, since no light penetrated the canopy. Each hurricane has killed more and more of the 100+ year old trees.

IDK what projections you're looking at, but the many hurricane forecasts
that I've followed, they get tweaked, but they are definitely not all
new every day. And they always provide plenty of notice to people
that get affected by them. It is the weather, you know.

Not the weather, the simulations of weather.

Tweaked in this case is about 90 degrees.

Really? And you can imagine no difference between eastern coastal North America of today and the vast wilderness that existed 1000 years ago?

The bird populations of almost every species in NA are at 50% of 1970s numbers. There are some species, especially in the Everglades, that are down to just a handful of mating pairs. Handful means less than a dozen. Storms like Dorian could be an extinction event for them.

You probably think the alley behind your house overgrown with weedy invasives is a wilderness...

I don't think it's a matter of desire nobody wants their car to be
flooded out I don't suppose. but it's a resource/logistical problem that
can't be solved either by government or citizens operating in
coordination, on short notice, effectively.

It's mostly a problem of being really stupid.

275 million registered passenger vehicles in the US and only 225 million
registered drivers. Not all those registered drivers are actually able
or available to drive a vehicle at any given time.

I'd ballpark in a densely-populated storm-threatened coastal area of a
couple hundred miles there are optimistically 2.8 drivers available for
every four registered vehicles sitting in parking lots and driveways.
Optimistcally 20-25% are going to get left behind. 20-25% is plenty of
cars in area that size to make a lot of dramatic pictures of parking
lots filled with flooded-out cars.

Waiting for the county to decide if we have to evacuate, or if we are to shelter in place.

It figures that I will have a doctor's appointment during the upcoming mess.


It might not make land in Florida.

It's fun to watch the computer track projections. They are all new
every day.

IDK what projections you're looking at, but the many hurricane forecasts
that I've followed, they get tweaked, but they are definitely not all
new every day. And they always provide plenty of notice to people
that get affected by them. It is the weather, you know.


Not the weather, the simulations of weather.

Tweaked in this case is about 90 degrees.

This hurricane did have a change in forecast that's bigger and that
happened very quickly, with it now going up the coast instead of
inland over FL. But the forecast still gave people ample time
to prepare, which is the most important thing.
