“Imagine you must survive without running,” Ada Limón writes in one of
The Carrying’s (Milkweed) early poems, and for a while I can imagine nothing but that.

a good thing in terms of the storm because it allows it to intensify. there is nothing to weaken the storm in the short term. long term, the question where does it go from here? it s going to start to curve back towards the state of florida and in fact, just about owns the entire state of florida is in the cone of where a potential landfall point could be and perhaps making landfall as high as a category three storm. the question is why florida? because by all normal circumstances, these storms always want to veer north. always. under normal atmosphere conditions but that s not the case here. normally this storm would start to curve back tornados the carolinas and virginia but this high pressure system right here is what is effectively steering it and pushing west towards florida. the models now make a landfall somewhere over florida. the american models tend to favor more of a north florida landfall, jacksonville down to the space coast. whereas the european models favor more of a lan
out and climb that water fall. let me look after you, friend. let s say you re feeling adventurous today, right? let s say you want to take a flight from minneapolis, st. paul, all the way to miami. i don t know why you would do that. i think i know why. you think you do. the temperature difference would be 100 degrees fahrenheit. that is quite a difference, right? and when you have temperatures that cold, this is what you can do. check on out this video. we see this time and time again when temperatures get to 20, 30 below freezing fahrenheit. but you just need to mix up a bit of soap and water, blow a bubble, completely windless conditions, perfect atmosphere conditions, i shall say, and you ll watch ice crystals form right in front of your eyes just like this gentleman did. astounding photos. check this out, graphics behind me. we here at cnn, i don t know if you know this, but we cross over
