Please don't panic in reporting news. Over emotion changes nothing

This is gonna be bad for Florida. Hurricane Beryl hit us in Houston, and we were without power for 2 weeks. And, tree was blown down and really damaged our roof. Branches hit our cars. All of our fences are down. So, it was bad for us. We had to sleep in our car for a few weeks until we got things starting to get back together. Very depressing. Don't know if I can go thru more Hurricanes. In my opinion, this Hurricane Helene is gonna be much, much worse for Florida than what we were hit in Houston -- lot STRONGER of a storm. I am so scared for them.

Tampa is sunny with a warm breeze. Very humid.

Why did you show a different hurricane in the thumbnail. Literal misinformation.

[robb]

Doesn't matter how wide the storm is. All of the strength is in the center. People outside of FL just don't get it and they cause people who don't know better to panic when they shouldn't.

Patrick Henry was definitely correct:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Patrick Henry [U.S. Founder]

Us Floridians know that anything under a cat 3 isn't too much of a big deal. Then, when the storm hits land it weakens exponentially. The only threat here is the possibility of a cat 3 developing... But since the storm is so big, I don't see that happening - I mean, maybe. Yes, the rainfall, especially in those areas not typically equipped for it, may be at risk.

They should have evacuated yesterday. You will have to ride it out stuck in traffic now.

Mark 4:39
“And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”

Wrong. Tropical Storm Warning for Tampa. Not Hurricane Warning. Get your facts straight!

[NeonSwell]

Clickbait! That thumbnail is not Helene, also the panic you are feeding only makes matters worse, get real!

[stevencorey]

Target's 100 percent off every thing sale about to kick off in the panhandle.... shoppers already lining up.🤪

[danielz]

Who's panicking? They're just stating the facts and expectations/possibilities so people can be prepared for the worst. Everyone's so soft nowadays, you cant even listen to the concerns anymore without complaining and getting your feelings hurt.
