Not funny, some people still haven't recovered from the 2024 Hurricane Season, some lost everything, some lost their lives.
Classy, since people are still feeling the effect of this #WorldSeries

Rant time...Dear Media & silly fearmonger accounts, the "polar vortex" is present 24/7/365. Its there EVERYDAY! Its just the Arctic Jetstream. It doesn't just come and go as it pleases. Ugh what happens is the jet get weak and creates troughs & brings cold air south. 🙄 – at Caribou, ME

Time for some country music on a Sunday night! Turnpike Troubadours in Clearwater, packed on a Sunday night. Beautiful breezy evening at the Sound. Expecting a “Tornado Warning” soon.

TNT Sports had its best ALDS audience since 2022. TBS/truTV averaged 3.5 million viewers for the Guardians-White Sox and Rays-Yankees series (8 telecasts). Was 3.8 million viewers back in 2022 (Astros-Mariners, Yankees-Guardians)

Simply remarkable! Florida’s East Coast has recorded just ONE hurricane landfall since 2005, with Hurricane Nicole in 2022 being the only one shown on this graphic and ZERO major hurricane landfalls (Cat 3+). Nearly two decades of good fortune along a highly vulnerable coastline. A quiet history, however, is no guarantee of a quiet future. Image credit @amarkowitzWX #FLwx
This October marks 22 years since Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach County last recorded sustained hurricane-force winds from a hurricane during Wilma in October 2005. A remarkable stretch for a region so vulnerable to hurricanes! 🌀 #FLwx

Another Perry-cane (if Perry was even there then)
On this date in Weather History... A strong hurricane tracked from Cuba, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The hurricane inflicted major damage along its entire path. October 13, 1846
