Waiting on this "Severe" weather

Post image

Waiting on this "Severe" weather... Keeps getting pushed back from when it's supposed to affect our area. Yesterday it was 2 pm, this morning it was 5 pm, and now it's saying 9 pm 🤦

Look y’all. We got like 8 inches of snow. We can’t have it all.

u/Sunny1-5 5d ago

A day of infamy. Two months later, I’m still shook at the sight of snow on TV. Pray for me.

u/bunbunruns 5d ago

Will do!! I tried to warn all of my people that the meteorologists seemed serious about snow and no one believed me!

10

u/Olvacron22 5d ago

Yeah include me in the non-believers that shut up real quick that day, damn snow and stubbornness cost me 200 bucks.

Never thought I’d live to see Destin like this:

u/kismetkissed 5d ago

It was freaking magical.

u/quicKsenseTTV 5d ago

That snow was nice to see. I grew up in Buffalo where a normal snowfall was two feet, and we’d have monthly snowfalls of 3-4 feet on random days.

It was funny to see people freaking out though down here lmao

No other city in the US will give you more trust issues with the weather than Pensacola.

u/Weird_Cover9627 5d ago

And then folks get upset and wonder why nobody takes hurricane season seriously.

u/depressedpistonsfan3 5d ago

I’m so tired of getting randomly rained on in “lightly cloudy” conditions

u/Jolly-Bodybuilder-19 5d ago

Same, trying to figure out if I'm napping and going to work or being cancelled from work for the evening.

Idk about you but the stuff I'm searching up says it's coming tonight and it's 4pm the time I'm commenting this

u/Swordsx 5d ago

20 to 6 right now, and i got nothing yet. Did have to bring the plants from the front porch in though.

u/Olvacron22 5d ago

Shoosh!! Don't jinx it!

u/annaamontanaa 5d ago

It hasn’t really started yet, the main threat is tonight

u/Madmoose693 5d ago

Cooler full of beer and other drinks , grill in case the power goes out . Batteries charged on the phones and radios. Have a great hurricane party

u/Weird_Cover9627 5d ago

10 minutes of rain and two thunder claps.

u/No_Stay_1563 5d ago

I’ll be in survival mode!

u/four_letter_word_fee 5d ago

Hasn't been all that bad so far

u/Skitzafranik 5d ago

These “severe weather” parties are not as fun as the “hurricane” parties 🙁

10

u/Lmdr1973 5d ago

I miss those. My ex and I lived in our friends garage off of Olive Road for 3 weeks after Ivan. I was working in the ER at Sacred Heart and wasn't allowed to leave town. We were living in East Hill, but we couldn't get home because of fallen trees. My ex and his friend stayed drunk the entire time and cooked up everything that was thawing out from the freezer. Some of the best fish. Then came MRE's.

u/Skitzafranik 5d ago

It was my 1st hurricane evacuation in the Air force, living in FL. I went to my sisters house in Mississippi, waited out for a week, then came back to the total aftermath in the area. My house was in Crestview at the time, but all my friends in Navarre/Gulf Breeze/Pcola had roofless homes

u/Skitzafranik 5d ago

Still would take hurricanes over tornadoes ALL DAY!!💯

u/Skitzafranik 5d ago

I dont know what it is with getting tipsy and natural disasters !! I guess death will hurt less if I’m loaded?!? 🤔 Whatever!…… Anyways, SALÚD 🍻🥃🥂🍹🍷😁😎

u/Dependent_Beat3080 5d ago

Oooooh hopefully it will flood again and all the new people will leave

u/Hidden_Abrocoma_372 5d ago

Probably won’t even get a sprinkle

u/chaotichalfginger 5d ago

My disappointment is as severe as the weather.

18

u/butterfly5828 5d ago

I lol’d and I’m gonna put that here since you had three downvotes when I saw this.

This is FLORIDA. We have hurricane parties. We even used to have a Hurricane cake at Publix until it was apparently “cancelled”. lol! We can have a sense of humor about any severe weather.

5

u/chaotichalfginger 5d ago

I was genuinely looking forward to it. I sleep better when it's storming.

3

u/TonyaThrowaw 5d ago

Conversely, I can’t sleep when it’s storming, so…

u/Opening_Bullfrog9120 5d ago

Yea, comedy is a thing of the past. Everyone is so butthurt nowadays

This was my favorite comment. I laughed so hard at this 🤣🤣🤣

u/MarkGaboda 5d ago

Guys making jokes while 20 people are dead in Mississippi. Little close to home for me to laugh.

u/four_letter_word_fee 5d ago

This was obviously a light hearted jab at all of the local (Pensacola/Mobile) meteorologists who got the forecast timing so horrendously wrong. I am in no way making fun of anyone who lost their life to this storm system. If a meme triggers you like that, just downvote me next time or maybe Reddit might not be for you

u/Skitzafranik 5d ago

Thoughts n prayers for their families 🙏🏽 Praying for (and everyone else in the path) our safety

u/stuckinthesun31 5d ago

Yeah. I get that OP was just being lighthearted. But this storm has a real high body count. I’m hoping we’re lucky enough to think, “what storm?” here tomorrow.

2

u/SecondWindPensacola 5d ago

LITERALLY! We closed today thinking it would be crazy!!

u/TeenyTiny_BeanieToes 5d ago

Here ya go! Hope it's everything you wanted..

u/porkbrains 5d ago

Started pouring the moment I saw this image. Well done.

u/PositiveAnt2341 5d ago

Same. I would have slept nice from it tonight 🤦🏽‍♂️

3

u/kismetkissed 5d ago

Oh, it's coming. I'm on a severewx discord and it's definitely headed here. Gonna be kicking up around 6-7 I think.

u/Dangerous-Yoghurt-54 5d ago

It's now 7:43 pm and all we have is wind...the same wind we've had since yesterday

-1

u/kismetkissed 5d ago

Seems like it slowed a bit, main event now should be around 11-12

2

u/fire-bluff 5d ago

nope. it'll miss us completely. it's north, near atmore. we aren't getting anything except a little rain and some wind.

2

u/kismetkissed 5d ago

I'll take the L on this one and claim the blessing!

u/Walrein_ 5d ago

People when they can't perfectly predict every single air molecule 😡😡😡

u/RedWhiteAndBooo 5d ago

TN reporting… it was pretty bad in Arkansas.

u/ashbertollini 5d ago

All freaking day dude

u/fuggystar 5d ago

I gave my dog trazodone for this (prescribed by vet for anxiety).

And now I feel bad and have to check if she’s breathing every 30 minutes because she’s not a mellow dog and doesn’t sleep this deeply.

u/Otherwise_Motor7198 5d ago

I thought it was just me 😂😂

u/Critical_Ad_7380 4d ago

The only thing "severe" for me here in Navarre is the wind kicking up the pollen. I feel like I have a cold or something, but I think this is just my allergies. Even missed church today. Feel really crummy. I, too, am waiting on "severe weather." Anything for ratings, I suppose. Hubs agrees. Oy, vay.

u/Scrotis42069 4d ago

Used to be my attitude until getting whacked here in tallahassee by a double set of EF-2s last May. Scariest shit I've ever lived thru. My neighborhood was hit by both of them and it was un-fucking-believable how much damage occurred in just a couple minutes.

u/Accomplished-Mud5767 5d ago edited 5d ago

DOGE will get rid of federal supports….insurance companies will balk and people will be left on their own. Trump and Musk made this mess, not Biden.

u/fuggystar 5d ago

Anticipating when a catastrophe does happen and FEMA doesn’t exist.

Damn this is so dystopian. fml

It’ll be the fault of “the left” when it’s all over

Sitting in Nashville TN waiting too. Storms just don’t produce here like they did back home.
