Fuck hurricanes

[Goodheart]

[jpak]

1. Yup

[Goodheart]

2. So, I'm sitting here in Baton Rouge unsure of what to do.

I'm sure there will be power outages. How long is always a question.

3. Lounge!

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Cat 4. No. Here

[USALiberal]

9. Silly comment. If he provided some info it would've helped!

[Goodheart]

12. I provided lots of info. Fuck hurricanes.

[malaise]

15. Well here is some info

Hospitals cannot move Covid patients and have been told to stay in place.

[Goodheart]

16. I was feeling OK as long as it was going to be Cat 3. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[malaise]

17. I'm with you all the way

All bets are off with a Cat 4. That said, we're survivors and we know how to batten down and recover after these hurricanes..
I agree - Fuck hurricanes

[Native]

27. Holy shit!

5. Houston Texas has joined the chat.

Fuck em all the way to the gates of hell.

[Texaswitchy]

6. In Houston.

Wish you guys well.

I hope it is not a Hurricane Ike.

Start filling up water bottles.

I save bleach and vinegar bottles for flushing.

[Goodheart]

11. I'm not doing a whole lot of preparation

If things are really bad after it hits I'm just going to leave.

[Texaswitchy]

14. Good idea

Stay safe.

7. Fort Myers

Joining the chat as well. FUCK THEM! Last one we had was Irma ,we had no electric for 11 days

[Goodheart]

8. One of the worst aspects of hurricanes (if not the worst)

is that it makes a person wish it hits somewhere else. I'm sitting here hoping it turns toward Fort Myers or Houston. LOL

[keithsw]

19. I don't even

care anymore....LOL. When they tell us there is a hurricane coming the wife and I get in the car and head to the Mountains in North Carolina

[Marius25]

24. With all the flooding they've had there from Fred

might not be a great idea, and they're going to get heavy rain from Ida it looks like too.

[keithsw]

28. Our little town

Got a lot of rain from Fred. We never really had bad flooding though. The people in the low laying areas got some. Our house is at over 3000 ft altitude

10. Ivan destroyed my in-laws place.

As we were digging out and trying to salvage belongings, we saw a china cabinet with a couple small tea cups on top. The tea cups were filled with water but in perfect condition. The biting flies took us apart for the 4 days we had before the place was condemned. So glad we had connections at the city. It was a mess. Everything around that beach town was smashed.


And it's only going to get worse.

[Deuxcents]

13. Curse and vent all ya like

While you’re doing it, get prepared. Mother Nature doesn’t care. I can say that as we’ve dodged a couple this year.. seems the north gulf just gets it all the time. This one looks especially wicked.

[Texaswitchy]

18. Memories of Hurricane Ike.

Just had the new windows put in.

Strong windows.

Put two layers of tin on all the windows.

No plywood.

No power for two weeks.

The sound is the worse thing.

The heat.

[keithsw]

20. You're right

The sound is terrifying

[Texaswitchy]

22. All night.

We used tin because the line for plywood was long.

It easy was to put up.


Long screws.

It was a long night.

21. Get used to them. With climate change they will be the new normal. nt

[keithbvadu2]

23. Get a Trump Sharpie and draw a new path out to sea.

Get a Trump Sharpie and draw a new path out to sea.

[Marius25]

25. Time to get used to them.

Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of storms.

[trof]

26. Hurricanes, fires, blizzards, and floods are the new normal.

Here we go.

31. If you see the flooding in parts of Jamaica

Rain associated with Ida has been falling here from Wednesday - sometimes steady, sometimes heavy. You should see some of the flooding in some parts of Jamaica.
