Luck or geography? WFLA-Columbia project explores why it’s rare for major hurricanes to directly hit

Just ask the WEATHER MANIPULATORS! The ones seeding & go to Monkey Werks there is flight patterns

It's all moot, since they use weather machines now and cloud seeding & exacerbate natural weather occurrences. Jmo. False sense of security.

That's pretty brilliant

This was fascinating, I wonder what their findings found out about NYC

Its the Indian burial mounds that protects Tampa Bay.

You guys answered the question all us locals have been wondering for YEARS!
I live just north of Tampa in Chasshowiska and everyone from here to Crystal River always mention how there’s never direct hits to this area. It’s bizarre.
This study was great, thanks for doing it since it’s been the million dollar question around here for a long time.

John and Mable Ringling bought 20 acres of Sarasota water front property in 1911, but only after researching what part of Florida's coast was hit the least by hurricanes, so as to protect his future investment. Quite sure liberal Yankee climate schools didn't figure into his research.

They couldn’t even predict Lee’s landfall. They rely on statistics.

This ivy leaguer who attended an institution in NYC is tempting fate.

If it’s once per century, we are due…

So 70 years isn't enough to predict hurricanes, but 20 years is enough to say the climate has changed. Nice double standard, keep the viewers afraid

Better to be prepared than depend on research, because hurricanes don't care.

The biggest factor is the high pressure system over Bermuda tends to nudge out over Tampa Bay and steers TCs around it deflecting storms to the big bend and panhandle.

Soo many good theories in here. Im going to post mine:

CENTCOM uses Ionospheric heaters to draw them away from us. But how does that account for decades upon decades ago in the past? CENTCOM or Ionospheric heaters did not exist 70 years ago!

Well thats easy. Time Travel! Special forces teams comprised of time traveling chrononaughts routinley go back in time to fight past hurricanes off with man portable directed energy weapons.

Its super easy, barley an inconvenience 😎

Well then past temps can no longer Predict future temps.
Only climate taxes and green deals to funnell money can tell us the scarey future.

Very interesting

I wonder where we sat during the ice age. That is one heck of a climate change.

Back then they knew not to build mansions on the beach and barrier islands.

I wonder if the scientists took weather modification into consideration?

trust in the Togobaca spirits

I'm hoping you all did a Whole Lot of knocking on wood while doing this video…

Actually, it's the spirit of the pirate Gaspar that protects us.

Tampa is over due😅

Great stuff!!

Citrus County has never had a direct hit on record of a hurricane. Crystal River however gets flooded as the hurricanes go by up along the west side.
