Mayor of Tampa shares likely outcome of Tampa’s 'Lieutenant Dan' opting to ride out Hurricane Milton

[@pdoylemi]

This guy is nuts. I have been an avid sailor for decades and the LAST place you want to be in a storm like this is in a port like Tampa. Depending on the size of the boat, he might be able to survive it if he were miles off shore where the waves are not cresting, your boat can't be picked up and tossed into a building, and the length of the ocean waves gives you a chance to ride up and over them if you are lucky. But having been caught in storms smaller than this, I would recommend being as far inland as possible.

[@pwieland3934]

As you can see, the US has no lack of people who are proud to be ignorant of facts and science. For instance that the inner rings of trees have been analyzed to trace major upheavals in weather even hundreds of years before colonization. In places like Ireland they can look at items in bogs that date back to Middle Ages. About 25 years ago I did some web site work for a meteorologist named Pearn Niiler. He told me global warming was identified in 1968. What can you say to people who would rather believe a political party aimed a storm, or space lasers, at their enemies than accepted established scientific facts?

University of Tampa senior Terrence Concannon was walking his usual route from school in mid-September when he encountered something out of the ordinary: a man in a sailboat, caught in the wind and being dragged out to sea. But Concannon told NBC News that he did help, dragging a rope and pulling 54-year-old Tampa, Florida, resident Joseph Malinowski safely back to the dock - where he vowed to stay, rain or shine. The encounter was the beginning of what would become a viral saga and national news story, with Concannon documenting Malinowski’s determination to stay on his boat through Hurricane Helene, and now Hurricane Milton, for millions of TikTok viewers. As Hurricane Milton barrels toward Tampa, where it’s forecast to make landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday, social media followers and local officials have expressed concern for Malinowski, who has refused to leave his sailboat and get to safety as of Wednesday afternoon. Forecasters have warned of a potential life-threatening 15-foot storm surge, and local officials have warned people in evacuation areas to leave or face the reality of potentially being killed by the hurricane.
