    Most apps are just AI generated info from Noaa, the NWS or the National Hurricane Center. Google weather doesnt have any planes or instruments

    This whole renaming of the Gulf is just bizarre. I've been well-acquainted with the Gulf of Mexico for the last multiple decades, being a native Key Wester, and I will never call it the Gulf of America. It's not about partisan politics, it's just plain "common sense!"

    It is a bit sad how badly they need validation. They are having daddy issues by proxy now.

    Trump is certainly over-compensating for something.

    I noticed today that the Washington Post is calling it the Gulf of Mexico.

    Blasphemy. Put them out of business immediately. Lock them up.
    Did I get that right?

    https://flvoicenews.com/new-legislation-seeks-to-rename-tamiami-trail-to-gulf-of-america-trail/



    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A new piece of legislation aims to rename a section of U.S. 41, widely known as Tamiami Trail, to “Gulf of America Trail,” aligning with recent White House directives calling for the adoption of the “Gulf of America” name across the nation.

    What it does: Under the bill, a section of U.S. 41, spanning across Miami-Dade, Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, and Hillsborough County, will be officially designated as the “Gulf of America Trail.”

    The fact that Florida isn't solving actual problems like insurance or housing. But instead doing this shit. Hilarious.

    What's funny is that some Florida politicians proposed replacing what was the generally accepted name of a highway for close to 100 years to please a narcissistic politician who decided to change what was the generally accepted name of a body of water for around 400 years. By the way Nakhodka Bay a body of water in Russia on the Sea of Japan was also referred to as the Gulf of America over a hundred years before Donald Trump decided to use the name to refer to the Gulf of Mexico.
    Nakhodka Bay or Nakhodka Gulf (Russian: зали́в Нахо́дка, romanized: zalív Nakhódka), historically called the Gulf of America[1] (зали́в Аме́рика, zalív Amérika), is a bay of the Peter the Great Gulf of the Sea of Japan, on which is sited the port of Nakhodka. It is part of the Primorsky Krai of Russia. The Lisy Island protects the bay from open sea waves. The word means '(lucky) find, discovery' in Russian.[2]

    What's also funny is that presumably grown adults cheer on this silly performative theater.

    But then again ......
