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

      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

    6. pissflapgrease on

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

      Ginger kid in the headphones looks like he’s got his doubts mind.

    8. Soggy_Effective6726 on

      You know what, I was waiting exactly for a post like this to come up with the Hurricane going on.

    9. takesthebiscuit on

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

    10. lodge28 on

      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

    14. Cantabulous_ on

      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 …

    15. whitecaribbean on

      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.

    16. shadereckless on

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

    17. TynesidePanda on

      Bookmark this thread so that when the inevitable Gofundme appeal comes along we can prove to the gullible public that they’re the pi ss

    18. DontPokeMe91 on

      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.

    19. Ok_Commission_8436 on

      That looks like the kind of face you’d expect that level of stupidity from.

    20. Spare-Reception-4738 on

      Well there is no curing stupid, any travel insurance will be invalidated

    22. afungalmirror on

      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.

    23. weirdhoney216 on

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

    24. RaymondBumcheese on

      If you asked 100 people to draw a ‘British Holiday Maker Who Ignores Hurricane Warnings’, they would all draw that guy

    25. ViewHallooo on

      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.

    26. SingerFirm1090 on

      Of course the publicity means the kid’s school now know they are not a granny’s funeral.

    27. Georgeisbored1978 on

      Goes to Florida during a hurricane , immediately has breakfast in a British pub. Figures.

    29. AlienPandaren on

      Guy looks like the sort of idiot that takes Al Murray’s pub landlord character at face value  

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

    30. Drunken_Dwarf12 on

      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?

    31. Proper_Dimension_341 on

      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

    32. Remarkable-Ad155 on

      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. 

    34. Alklazaris on

      It’s fun and games till your 2 weeks in without power and pooping in your cats litter box.

    35. CryptographerMore944 on

      It’s amazing how they look exactly as I imagined they would after reading the headline.

    36. meringueisnotacake on

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more British-looking group of folk in my life.
