It's looking like this is going to land this week. Could be a big one. I hope Biden has a fresh sharpie. But seriously, stay safe @theprunetang
I have stocked up on water, candles, food, and a case of black Sharpies for last minute redirection. Also, weed vape cartridges. Haha
Looks like there is a chance it could be heading right for us. Guess we will see. Luckily we are a bit inland and not directly on the coast.
Houses in Florida should all be made like concrete and rebar igloos......thick walls...no corners....raised floors....this wooden house shit just will never work there. Hope you Floridians stay safe and sound! With enough vape pens you can withstand anything!
A lot of houses on the coast are made of cinder block, which actually works pretty well. The old brick buildings and wooden construction needs to go though.
Good luck to you brother. My Florida crew resides mostly in Orlando and Jacksonville. Hope everybody gets through it ok.
I worked Charlie & Francis, devastation was unreal. Apart of a storm team working on generator sets and such. We often would stay at the Holiday Inn in Punta Gorda and that town was hit really hard.
I'm sure most are getting tf out of Dodge at this point. Tampa is gonna probably get pounded hard and they haven't had a serious one hit them direct in 100 years or something like that. I remember once visiting my best friend's aunt in Jacksonville, she lived in the straight up hood. She was telling us how she sat in her living room, riding one out. I forget which storm it was. No power for a few days but she had her 9mm right next to her waiting for someone to walk in trying to loot. That lady was a bad ass but FUCK THAT. I wouldn't want to die for some crackhead to come in looking to steal an anolog TV.
Maybe? There is still some east/west lateral movement possible. But, we are about 30 miles from the coastline, so we at least won't get any storm surge effects (which is often times the worst part). Historically, Tallahassee ends up dealing with localized flooding (we are on an incline thankfully), and downed trees causing power outages. One of the big pluses of having old growth oak canopy roads is also one of the big negatives.
It's going to weaken but it is also going to stall. Lots of rain, news is forecasting 34 inches of rain in Tampa, on top of an excessive storm surge due to the direction of the storm.
