Not looking good for the west coast.

[Lochloosa]

[Wounded Bear]

1. Those of us on the actual West Coast would appreciate if you would be more specific...

in your thread titles.

[JohnSJ]

5. Isn't that the truth. The West Coast is California, Washington, Oregon, etc.

[Lochloosa]

8. Not to a Floridian

[LiberalFighter]

34. Except the majority of us on DU are not in Florida.

[A HERETIC I AM]

35. Why wouldn't you say "Gulf Coast"?

If you're in Tallahassee, surely you've heard it referred to that way.

FWIW, that big blue line in the middle tracks right over my house.

But we'll be fine, I'm sure. It will be wet and windy here. but I'm not worried.

Sarasota and the Tampa Bay, however...

14. +1. Typical U.S. usage

[gopiscrap]

10. no kidding

I live on THE WEST COAST don't be passing Florida off as west coast

[USALiberal]

27. It took 5 seconds to undrstand it

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. West coast of FL,

not the West coast, saying West coast indicates the west coast of the US.

[Lochloosa]

3. Not in Florida it doesn't. Ya'll don't exist.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

4. Fair enough nt

[lapfog_1]

9. in that case...

Think of how much better the USA would be if Florida joined with Cuba... neither place respects freedom or the rights of people.

22. +1

[EndlessWire]

19. LOL! n/t

[Celerity]

33. The Floridians I know call the west coast of FL the Gulf Coast

[A HERETIC I AM]

36. This

[we can do it]

42. +1

[honest.abe]

39. Yes, that is how my family refers to it who have lived in Florida for decades.

[a kennedy]

11. I have a very, very good friend in Bonita Springs, FL. Monday and Tuesday, big trouble.....

🙏🏻 🤞🏻 ♥️

6. Your "West Coast" is analogous to this:

[Lochloosa]

7. ...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. There's the woods around my house, and then there's all them places beyond the woods.

Don't be too harsh; climate change will soon flood the pot and just leave the panhandle.

[alphafemale]

12. Gulf Coast

[Lochloosa]

13. Boy, did I hit a nerve.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Well, when you post that the shit is gonna hit the fan for me...

and then I find out it's 3500 miles away, it's kinda upsetting.

BTW, best wishes for you Gulf Coast Floridians. Looks like it could be a big one. Take care.

[EndlessWire]

20. I agree.

That made me awfully nervous, until I discovered it was FLORIDA! I live on the official, one-and-only WEST COAST.

Stay safe, Florida. I'll be nervous for you when the time comes.

[USALiberal]

28. It took 5 seconds to see the location!

[PCIntern]

16. If I said "racists in Philadelphia"

And left out the Mississippi suffix, it’d make a big difference…

[Lochloosa]

17. I kinda thought the map would be self explanatory.

[PCIntern]

18. People see the title and jump a little

or sometimes more than a little!

[Hekate]

25. It was, except the title made me jump when I saw it. Fires? Earthquakes? How many thousand acres?

Or, what magnitude? Was it the Big One?

We all have our triggers, don’t we?

Stay safe, Lochloosa.

[we can do it]

43. Change it. It isn't hard.

Or do you enjoy freaking people out needlessly?

[SoCalDavidS]

21. Maybe Your Governor Will Institute A Ban On Hurricanes nt

[Phoenix61]

23. From the panhandle I hate it for y'all but...

we still haven’t got everything back together from
Michael.

[Hekate]

24. Oh. ...of Florida. I was thinking, "Now what?!! WTH? " Still, sympathy to you guys 3500 miles away...

Best of luck to you all in the Gulf and the Caribbean,
from California, aka The West Coast.

[sakabatou]

26. Please edit the thread title to say "Not looking good for West Coast of Fla."

Or just "Not looking good for Florida."

[LeftInTX]

29. Sorry but that's the East Coast of the GOM!

[Niagara]

30. Stay safe, Lochlossa.

[Meowmee]

31. We had some of it here earlier

Cold temps and lots of wind

[scarletlib]

37. Oops!

Got my attention. My daughter lives in Los Angeles. I am in Florida so definitely aware of Ian but I thought “what’s happening out there”.

[Timeflyer]

38. I'm going surfing!

[Marius25]

40. That's not the West Coast.

The West Coast refers to the Western coast of the US, not Florida.

That is the Gulf Coast of Florida.

[we can do it]

41. You might want to edit it to add of Florida.

West coast to most means California, Oregon, Washington.
