YOU MOVE NORTH, AWAY FROM THE WATER WHERE THE HURRICANE WILL BE SO WEAKENED WHEN IT HITS LAND IT WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE. NORTH, NORTH, NORTH... AWAY FROM THE WATER, AWAY FROM THE WATER.

Not a difficult concept to grasp.
Too bad it's so difficult to grasp that the storm is hundreds of miles wide and
actually bigger than the state of louisiana and it fucking always move NORTH!!

I guess New York is in the south :

Looks like they got fucked up hard being in the north where the storm was weaker.

Try moving west by 500 miles to truely get clear.
And then again, the only reason the storm is near america is because it has been
on a North-West path since it started in the tropics.

That's why people always pray that the storm turns east because it aint going to
stop going north.

Size
One measure of the size of a tropical cyclone is determined by measuring the distance from its center of circulation to its outermost closed isobar, also known as its ROCI. If the radius is less than two degrees of latitude or 222 kilometres (138 mi), then the cyclone is "very small" or a "midget". Radii between 3 and 6 latitude degrees or 333 kilometres (207 mi) to 666 kilometres (414 mi) are considered "average sized". "Very large" tropical cyclones have a radius of greater than 8 degrees or 888 kilometres (552 mi).[13] Use of this measure has objectively determined that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific ocean are the largest on earth on average, with Atlantic tropical cyclones roughly half their size.[14] Other methods of determining a tropical cyclone's size include measuring the radius of gale force winds and measuring the radius at which its relative vorticity field decreases to 1×10-5 s-1 from its center.

When a tornado warning is issued, you take refuge in your basement, UNDERGROUND if you are smart enough to have a cellar or basement to take shelter in.

I'm looking at your underground shelter. How's the air down there?
