I look forward to seeing them on r/compoface in the coming weeks.

The guy frankly sounds more clued in on the situation and how to handle any issues than me tbh, not sure I’m in a position to judge his decision.

Jesus wept. Just read an article describing this beast of a storm. 180-200mph winds and only a tiny eye at 3.5 miles across.
These people are fecking idiots.

As horrible as this hurricane is, Disney World will probably be back open by the weekend. Their infrastructure is built to withstand powerful hurricanes.
The issue is getting there right before such a storm, which seems stupid. But I guess they don’t want to lose all the money they spent on flights.
I think if it were me I would fly there, grab the hire car and then get the hell out of Florida before the storm arrives, visit somewhere else and return if safe to do so when Disney reopens – rather than write off the entire trip.

East side of Florida will be safe. There will be a storm surge as it passes back into the oceans but the dry land will majorly reduce the ferocity of the wind and thus strength of the storm surge.
BUT if anything happens, and it can, he will be a burden on first responders who could be better utilised elsewhere.
It looks like Tampa will be spared the worst possible outcome, but it will still be drowned. A large part of the state will be without power and every spare pair of hands that can help rescue will be needed. Tourists with nothing to tour are not helping.

Genuinely wondering what happens at Kennedy Soace Centre during a hurricane with their enormous 1:1 scale rocket models just standing there

Are they walking? I assumed flights would have been cancelled for the next few days.

Despite some questionable farming practices the USA has some extraordinarily varied and good eating. Then there is this walking penis… “Best o’ British?”

My next door neighbour is there right now! 😕 hope they are ok!

I nominate them for the Darwin Awards ‘Best of British’ category. Hope they’ve got a banging thank you speech when they win.

Probably thinks worst case Nigel will personally call his “mates” in the SAS to come and rescue him so he can go full compo face in the local rag about how he expected it to be windy but not that windy. Nothing like a Brit who genuinely believes we get extreme weather in this country.

Parks will probably be open by Friday. I wouldn’t be headed for a beach on the gulf coast but there’s a bit of hysteria among people who think the whole state is going to be washed into the sea.

Wow, as a native Floridian living in England, this guy is a complete dumbass. He won’t be feeling so high and mighty about how much better Brits are at “handling adversity” when he realises he’s never been in a real storm before

Florida is full of natural beauty, and their group photo is taken in a stripmall in front of the “Best of British Pub”
Say no more …

Fair play, they look like the kind of family that would still fly out to Florida in the middle of the hurricane of the century. At least they’re living up their looks.

This is where living in a place with as benign a weather as we have will come and slap you in the face

I’d fine people like this for gross negligence. It’s totally irresponsible and you just know they’ll be seeking government help should something awful happen to them. Idiots.

I wonder if there’s any relationship between people flying thousands of miles to Florida despite the hurricanes and the ever increasing strength of the hurricanes themselves.

Florida does not need tourists at this time. I hate Disney obsessed people

Tampa is on the west coast of Florida. Floridians are moving themselves to Orlando to be safe. Bloke just got himself extra money to spend on Disney Dollars once the park is open again.

Anyway have fun sitting in the hotel all day, there’ll be no rides and no sun that’s for sure

Are they out of their minds?
For going to Disney World at all, I mean. You guys have so much awesome history and beautiful scenery in the UK, and they want to come over here for fakey overpriced American crap?

I can tell by looking at them that they dont share enough brainpower between them to understand the magnitude of the hurricane heading that way

Tbf, provided they can actually land safely, Orlando and Disney World in particular should he relatively unscathed. The resort has its own power grid, pretty much all the buildings in Orlando are built to withstand the winds, very far inland so no storm surge. I don’t think it’s in an evacuation zone, even though Milton looks set to pass right through.

“The local residents are panicking” he said, but “the Brits and Americans are total different beasts when it comes to preparing themselves to adversity.”
Yep, exactly what I would expect to come out of this guys mouth. He and his family will be pissing and shitting into a bucket in a refugee centre within the week and starting a go fund me for some spurious reasons.
