See the video and pics of the Florida phenomenon below:

It doesn't really count as a "video" when it's just the one pic with a Ken Burns-style "zoom in and pan across" algorithm.

SnarfVader: AOL still exists?

Kinda makes sense... the only people that still use it have retired and moved to Florida.

/will never move *to* Florida
//because I'm already here.

The residents of shiatfaced rednecks on vacation in Panama City would have been forgiven for feeling slightly panicked when they saw this 'tsunami' coming.

Soylent Tsunami is old people!!!

This has got to be the boringest day for Fark headlines. Mods need to be less snoby

I saw the face of Jesus in one of the clouds

I used to live on Twin Peaks in SF. We'd get stuff similar to that flow over our apartment all the time. Sometimes at night the city below would be completely obscured by fog, then a gust a wind would come along and lift it like a blanket, revealing all the pretty twinkling lights and we could suddenly see all the way to Oakland. Nifty to watch from the comfort of your deck.

When I moved to Orlando in August 2008, I was greeted by my first storm that very month (Tropical Storm Fay). Everyone around me told me, "Eh, no need to panic, enjoy the rain." Everyone except the local news, who told me "WE ARE ALL GONNA DIIIIEEEEE!"

Up here in New England, where we are not retarded, we call this mysterious stuff: fog.

where did you move FROM? as an avowed east coaster, granted, well on up the east coaster in Virginia, we usually don't give much of a damn either.The last one that gave us much of any trouble was Irene. that actually shut my part of town down for a couple of weeks.. but.. overall.. the damage was nasty, but overall fine,
mostly... times like are usually just a big excuse to hang out with your neighbors, grill up the contents of your freezers, and generally stay drunk until the power comes back on, and when the power DOES come back on, you continue to party because it did!

Oh.. better time than never.. My Florida Farkers, Apparently I'm vacationing down your way between march 6th and the 17th and being dragged kicking and screaming down into the keys.

hints, suggestions, advice and recommendations are appreciated.

Nice.

There's a good explanation here (new window). Basically, the humidity has to be just shy of 100%, with a breeze of just the right intensity blowing in just the right direction. It's also interesting that the Bernoulli effect may be at least as important as lifting in creating these clouds.

We lived in Cape Coral in 2004 when Charley came to visit. Everything was fine until the wife's parents (who lived in Texas) started freaking out and telling us we had to evacuate RIGHT THE FARK NOW.

The funny thing is that they're convinced that we're going to die in a hurricane because we live in Florida, yet they've gone through
more hurricanes living in East Assfark, Texas (Rita, Ike, and Gustavo) than we have in SWFL.

My mother in Chicago is concerned for my safety whenever a hurricane hits anywhere. I live in Atlanta.

Diogenes: This will not end well.

I had an interviewee recently here in Atlanta who was worried about hurricanes if he came here. The question took me aback as I have previously lived in Houston where you actually had to worry about hurricanes as opposed to a good rain and a bit of wind from a storm that has lost energy going over so much land to get here. I swear most people think Atlanta is on the coast.
