When I was a kid in Atlanta, if there was frost on the grass, school was cancelled. Then we moved to Detroit. We got a full foot of snow dumped between midnight and the time I had to go to school -- which was not cancelled that day. The difference is real.

[@lynda5542]

I'm betting Detroit is equipped with snow plows, residents have snow tires and snow shovels. Georgians do not ergo snow & worse ice can cause disaster.

[@scifydi6446]

I feel you! In New Hampshire we were outside for recess until the temperatures dropped into the negatives. In Houston a single snowflake falls and the city shuts down!

[@nn123654]

@@scifydi6446 Really has more to do with infrastructure and procedures. TxDot only has like 30 snowplows for the entire state of Texas. It almost never snows there so there's not really worth buying a ton of winter gear that will hardly ever get used.

[@np6293]

I grew up in Minnesota, where I think the 50% probability line for school cancellation was around 10 inches of snow, depending on timing. If the snow started late the night before and was still coming down without a chance to clear it yet, there was a good chance of school cancellation, but if the snow had started late the previous afternoon and ended around midnight and the lawn-services-turned-snow-removal companies had plenty of time to remove it overnight, you probably had to go to school in the morning. (i.e. "Kids, you'd better hope the superintendent doesn't have a brother-in-law with a snowplow on his pickup truck.")

Yes we are Winter ready in Detroit.

Let me tell you about a hurricane party! Being from Florida, I am very familiar with the hurricane survival kit. Living through several storms in my lifetime, as well as being a big fan of the Midwestern neighbor, this is one of my favorite things. Prayers to my Central and South Florida neighbors to stay safe during this storm.

I am from Port Charlotte and Jim Cantore checked in a nearby hotel the day before Hurricane Ian. I appreciate the National Guard, police, and lineman. I feel bad for coworkers who lost their homes.

[@llareia]

I'm a midwesterner who moved to the east coast and later Florida. This is 100% accurate to how my family acted every time there was a hurricane near me. Pretty sure my mom thought I had lost it when I told her, "Calm down it's just a category 3 with very little surge. They MIGHT cancel school for the kids on the day of the storm but we'll be right back to normal the next day." Totally true that you should worry when Florida worries. Also good job sneaking in proper hurricane prep into the video. :D

It is free entertainment and funny to watch. (As long as no one gets hurt, that is.) And, then, here we are, in 2’ of snow, trying to miss light poles while making figure 8’s and purposefully driving through snow banks. 😆I love driving in snow 😁

[@canadagirl408]

Original midwestern here, winter parties (esp. in undergrad) are the best, you can bring more drinks because you can just put them on the patio, balcony, garage and they will get cold by themselves as the night goes on, leaving more room in the fridge...so much more space in your fridge in the winter in general, really; since I also went to school in a midwest town, we also knew who wasn't from the midwest just by how they drove, dressed, and what they wore when they went "out". One year we had a huge blizzard and they actually closed for the day (which is almost unheard of) so what my friends do? Build a giant snow ramp from their porch to snowboard from for their blizzard party that night (it was a Friday anyway, so the "snow day" didn't affect most of us anyway and they already were having a party that night)

[@azureflametarot]

Living in Southeast Louisiana for 55 years, I have survived three killer storms and a handful of lesser ones. Ian is frightening because we know what comes next: years of recovery. The TV cameras will go away in a week and other stories will replace the storm victims, but it takes YEARS to get anywhere close to pre-storm life. Time is denoted as “before the storm” and”after the storm.” Stay strong, Florida-you are in our prayers.

[@alexzanderboo1]

you are so wise (as in smart). I met people that went through Katrina and they had a horrible time trying to rebuild their lives. It was heartbreaking seeing how traumatized the kids were. Lifelong Floridian and darn lucky with the hurricanes.

[@princesskateforthewin]

Greetings from the Mid-Atlantic. I vividly remember Isabel and Gaston. We lost several trees, the power went out, and the street was blocked. It was an ordeal both times!

[@lisarice4402]

Houstonians definitely understand the hurricane preparedness - I think everyone who lies on the coasts have a respect for Mother Nature’s drastic fits … always high wind speeds, flooding and hail craziness

[@NODE1975]

@@alexzanderboo1 I'm from NOLA. It was very hard to recover. Most people still don't realize how bad it was. Katrina literally spread across the gulf and hit 4 states at one time. We were all out of our element because our usual evacuation destinations were being evacuated too

Love the throwback to Penn's crazy weather reporter days! Glad you're going to be safe, and my thoughts are with the Floridians in the direct path. My friend in Puerto Rico JUST got her power and water back last Saturday after well over a week, and I'm hoping the rest of the storm season is mild!

[@MC-qb1jg]

I'm in St Augustine Florida it's pretty scary but we are ok. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's the storm surge that is really dangerous.

[@neresq]

Love this!😊Having lived in Southeast Florida for the past 40 years, we've gone through more than our fair share of hurricanes. Down here, we always say that if you see Jim Cantore in your town/neighborhood, RUN! Thinking of everyone on the "left coast" trying to survive Ian. Here on the east coast, we've had 24 hours of wind and rain with the feeder bands, and last night was chock full of tornado alerts on our devices - one touched down about 5 miles from our house and did a lot of damage to a retirement community. But we're OK.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

So glad you are ok, that must have been terrifying.

[@adedow1333]

I hope the retired were out of the community when it struck!

This is definitely on the top of my favorite videos from you! And yes, I've been explaining it to people for YEARS - Jim Cantore IS the HARBINGER OF DOOM AND DISASTER! If you see him in your town, RUN! AWAY! Living on the banks of the Wonderful Lake Erie, it's a Great Lake really, I am well versed in "preparedness" for snow. While we all like to talk about , and name, the storms (Snowmeggedon, October Surprise, Blizzard of '77, Blizzard of '83) we know the difference is, when he pick up the snow with our shovels, and throw it somewhere, it stays where we threw it. Notsomuch for hurricane waters. Stay safe friends.

I'm from South Carolina. When I was 5, Hurricane Hugo hit. The eye was something like 90 or so miles from where my Parents and I lived. We lived in a trailer... in the middle of an Old Growth Pine Forest. Biiiig Carolina White Pines, the ones that were once known as "The King's Tree" before the Revolutionary War, because they were so straight and tall they were commonly cut down and used as ship's masts. Those trees were where MANY of the larger battleships of those days came from. 100+ foot tall trees with a 3-5+ foot diameter trunk at the base. And I lived in a TRAILER in the middle of that. And we did not evacuate. My Dad was on the couch in the living room that night, because he'd gotten home from work late that night and didn't want to wake up Mom in the bedroom. I was asleep in my bed. Around 2 or 3 am, I was awakened by a my Mom and Dad whisking me out of my bed to their bedroom followed by a LOT of VERY loud howling, and My Mom praying fervently. I prayed with her. I was 5. For the next several hours we lay there, huddled in bed, the world coming apart around us, the wind like a jet engine blasting in my little ears, with naught but my hands to cover them, and it was still painfully loud, even with Mom shielding me and a pillow over my head and being inside. I somehow went to sleep, I guess after the wind died down sometime early-ish that morning. It was somewhere around a Category 2 when it got over top of us. We woke up late the next morning, we slept in, and walked outside. The loud crash that woke up my Dad and got them to get me out of my room was a tree about 4 feet in diameter and at least 90 feet tall... being held several feet above the roof of our trailer... but nothing but the suspension and cab roof of my Dad's 80's Toyota Pickup. It was hanging DIRECTLY over where he had gone to bed that night on the couch. If not for God and that VERY well made truck... he may not BE here right now, and this story might be VERY different. There were a bunch of other trees fallen around our little single-wide trailer as well. One... that had missed the corner of my Parent's bedroom by about 6 inches. I... SURVIVED... Hurricane Hugo... by ONLY the Grace of My Heavenly Father God in Heaven, hallowed by his name. Amen.

Louisiana has those hurricane parties too. I work at a gas station/convience store. And when there's even a hint at the possibility of a storm the beer and water go first. Then the hard stuff like vodka, rum whiskey. Every body else wipes out the bread canned soup and canned meats isle of Walmart

[@jukeboxwarrior5367]

As someone from WI who just endured the last hurricane in Nov, I must say it was like a Wisconsin blizzard except with 75-degree temps.

The closest I've gotten is Michael, when we first moved here. I'm fascinated by storms. I would say that NCarolinians are worse when an ice storm is expected, than Midwesterners are when a hurricane is.

Midwest neighbor has some solid advice for those of us in Florida, though!

I needed this one, great job! I'm on the west coast of Florida, west of Tampa Bay, sitting alone in my house right now waiting out the hurricane, just getting some of the outer bands of rain and wind gusts. (We dodged a direct hit as Ian changed direction & came in way south of us.) Can't believe it may visit your area in NC! Just crazy. ❤

Love the outtake in neighbors real voice- for one word

[@susanmontejo4211]

I live right outside of Tampa & you are so right about this being serious if Floridans are taking it seriously 😳

[@asamanyworlds3772]

Be safe

[@mandywille5262]

Checked in with all my fam in FL and they are all SAFE! No power and cell service is spotty. Some property damage, but everyone is SAFE and that's what matters! Love the Midwest Neighbor and all your videos.

I've been in the south for several years now. I still have complete strangers say, "You're from Michigan, aren't you?" Apparently, Michiganders have an accent too. Who knew? 🤷😂

Lol! The snow comments, very accurate! On the other hand, this midwestern person stood outside in the middle of a hurricane... that was a very long time ago. Praying for all those in the path of Ian.

Florida here! Love the shot of Penn in the middle of this. LOL!

Being someone from Florida we’ve filed crates pots and anything we can think of with water and we always go by this saying “if it’s yellow let it mellow if it’s brown flush it down

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

100% correct.

As a Puerto Rican, from the island, I hear ya Kim.

I remember once hurricane Ike reached Michigan and decided produced a rather strong tropical storm, producing a tornado or two (or at least a bunch of warnings) as well as causing severe flooding. Some places around prexisting bodies of water had up to about 3-5ft of flooding But of course being Michigan nearly everyone had a boat of some kind. People began breaking out their small/manpowered boats to traverse the flooded areas.

Being from the north and now living in Florida.......I will take a blizzard over a hurricane any day! Bless all those impacted.
