Friday Night Last Call - Hurricane Ian Debriefing with Aged Boomer & Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou

On September 23, 2022, tropical storm Ian formed southeast of Jamaica, rapidly intensifying into a high-end Category 3 hurricane. It became a high end Category 4 hurricane early on September 28, 2022, while progressing towards the west coast of Florida, and made landfall just below peak intensity in southwest Florida on Cayo Costa Island. Meanwhile, on the mainland of Florida, one fearless YouTuber prepared to do battle with the elements to protect the people of his community. Aged Boomer, in his secret identity as a mild mannered civil servant, left his home and, rather than fleeing to safety, marshaled local civilians into a public shelter and stood watch. After the storm had cleared, it was days before the massive floodwaters withdrew to reveal the chaos they had wrought. It was days more before Boomer could reach his home again and assess the damage. Now, many weeks later, he is still not able to stay in his home, tough repairs are ongoing. This is his story...

Joining us tonight is friend of the community, Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou (the public identity of @So Many Random Fandoms on YouTube), to provide some professional wisdom and insight on Hurricane Ian and severe weather in general.

DISCLAIMER: Katie Nickolaou is an Emmy Ward Winning meteorologist with a very busy schedule, and it's entirely possible that this stream won't happen on the 9th*, so this is a TENTATIVE scheduling. If it doesn't happen on the 9th, we'll just postpone (and watch for another link for tonight, possibly on very short notice!)

Either way, the Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM CDT.

*The original date was the 2nd, so it's already rescheduled once.
