From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Weather Girl Laura Tobin apparently thinks there is some significance in the fact that Idalia was the first major hurricane to hit Apalachee Bay in Florida:

Idalia is now a tropical storm in South Carolina with torrential rain and dangerous storm surge, it’ll track out into the Atlantic today

Given that Florida’s coastline is 1350 miles long, and that the strongest winds in any hurricane usually don’t extend more than a few miles from the centre, most of the State’s coast can also claim to have never experienced a major hurricane.

There is therefore significance in her remarks. I pointed this out to her, but she has declined to respond!
