Florida Hurricanes Still Happen Because We Never Listened To This Guy
Florida, as we brace ourselves for a visit from Hurricane Helene, we only have ourselves to blame. We never took this guy’s simple obvious tips on how to avoid those problematic Florida hurricanes. So just remember… when those Publix shelves are empty, the power goes out and you’re sweating the hurricane out, know it’s because you didn’t listen to “A Florida Man.”
Years ago, this genius had the solutions and we never listened. We have a navy. Why can’t we put those ships to good use and send them out to drop some ice cubes in the ocean? If the warm waters add fuel to the hurricanes, if we dropped those ice cubes in the water, that’s gotta fix that problem!
And we have an air force for crying out loud. If the winds are a problem, get those planes up in the air to turn ’em around! This phenomenal solutions guy was labeled “A Florida Man” when his interview aired on TV years ago. But I have a sneaking suspicion he’s from where I grew up with that accent.
As we prepare for some wild weather later this week, can we take a moment to pause and consider these innovative solutions so Hurricane Helene will be the last weather event we ever have to worry about? These Florida hurricanes are honestly a pain in the butt.
In all seriousness, even though the storm appears to be pushing further west according to Tuesday night’s 5pm update, we still anticipate surge issues and some strong winds and rain. Stay tuned in both on the air and online via our website as we partner with Denis Phillips and the rest of our friends at ABC Action News with Helene updates for the rest of the week. We promise they’ll have ideas and solutions that are just as good, if not better, that this guy’s advice.
