Why is Hurricane Idaia Headed Towards Uncharted Territory Getting Gays Evil Out.

Hurricane Idaia is headed towards uncharted territory. Why?

The storm, still intensifying, is expected to grow into a powerful class of hurricane, reaching Category 3 status (meaning winds over 111 mph) before making landfall Wednesday morning. It's on track to hit Florida's Big Bend region at a location no major hurricane — meaning Category 3 or higher — has ever historically landed.

"Hurricane #Idalia will likely be an unprecedented event for many locations in the Florida Big Bend," the Tallahassee National Weather Service office tweeted. "Looking back through recorded history, NO major hurricanes have ever moved through the Apalachee Bay. When you try to compare this storm to others, DON'T. No one has seen this."

"When you try to compare this storm to others, DON'T."

Forecasters emphasized that "there are NO major hurricanes in the historical dataset going back to 1851 that have tracked into Apalachee Bay. None. Don't mess around with this."

Crucially, this region is quite vulnerable to storm surge — the ocean water pushed onto shore, at times violently, by a tropical storm's strong winds.

"The Florida Forgotten Coast and Big Bend are some of the most surge-prone areas in the world. The terrain is essentially flat inland a long way from the coast," Clark Evans, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, noted online.
