Sake. nobody s coming back to help you until it s too late. the cautionary tale from a year ago, less than a year ago, hurricane ian, when it hit lee county most of the deaths came from storm surge. that is just not survivable if you re in the wrong place at the wrong time. yeah. and i mean we saw the damage from hurricane ian. they re still recovering from that. but on the climate aspect of this, and we re talking about how much warmer the waters are, i m fascinated, hiroshimas per second, does this make it harder for officials to track tees, to forecast where these storms are going? well, i think it s pretty good when it comes to directional modeling. but it s that rapid intensification that may catch residents off guard sooner than forecasters. just because when you hit when it goes from 80 degree water to 90 degree water and it just revs that engine it may ramp up. we may wake up in the morning and it s a category 3 that we went to bed we weren t anticipating that. so that s
Vidalia, the mawry fireses and any other extreme weather events that i may come our way. what s stunning to meteorologists i should say is how quickly hurricane idalia s intensify. the reason? the gulf of mexico is extraordinarily warm, and it s absorbing energy. water temperatures have risen to 100 degrees this summer off of florida, and many scientists say climate change has a lot to do with it. one of the scariest units of measurements i ve learned is hiroshimas per second. that is the extra amount absorbed by our motions. a few years ago it was five hiroshima sized explosions every second of every day. now it s around 10, due to the heat trapping pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels. and it s sort of if you were to heat up a bathtub of lukewarm
