In case you haven’t heard, Florida is about to be pummeled by a hurricane for the second time in recent memory. As a result, officials and weathermen alike are begging people to please get out of Florida unless they’re looking to have a very watery death.

To show just how bad that death will be, the Weather Channel created a visualizer to demonstrate how high the water is going to get — and how screwed you’ll be if you decide to stay. While they’re clearly trying to warn people, it *does* seem like they’re having an unreasonably fun time doing so.

I gotta say, though, being in front of that greenscreen does look like kinda a good time.

The 3D artists at the weather channel deserve a raise for this insane visual

Now watch this, and then realize forecasts are now predicting up to 15 ft of storm surge in certain areas on the western coast of Florida pic.twitter.com/HHrCVWNgpg
