Max Fischer Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) If you would like to donate to hurricane relief, I highly recommend The World Central Kitchen, a well-run food relief organization that did a amazing work in Puerto Rico. https://wck.org Edited September 3, 2019 by Max Fischer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear the death toll will be ridiculous once they're able to get out and have a better look. Some of the photos I'm seeing look like the aftermath of F5 touchdowns -- on entire villages. Factor in the storm surge and it's unfathomable. Edited September 3, 2019 by Golden Goat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We look to be dodging another bullet here in the Orlando area...a few squalls of heavy rain, and if the wind went above 35 mph here, I’d be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, ar least visibly well enough when hit with 185mph sustained winds and +200mph gusts. Of course they were hurricane strapped, etc.... 2. Check out where some of those boats ended up! /smh in disbelief Like Mutha Nature took a #2 pencil and rubbed The Bahamas out with its eraser! Even worse, she grabbed the jumbo Pink Pearl and went to town. Maybe a speck here or there that she attempted to employ her erasing shield with. Just WOW! JC! Next time hope Mutha Nature uses: With this: Might as well just send it through this and start on over! What do you do? Can you bulldoze the whole island, like make a clean pass with a Zamboni®!!!

Everyone on the state side got extremely lucky. Bahamas are basically gone now b.c of it. Don't know how anyone survives days of weather like that.

That's going to be a B word to respond to. Hell, the response to Andrew took a week to start, because the infrastructure in Broward County was smashed. And they weren't an island.

I have a hard time imagining those kind of sustained wind speeds for an hour or two. To get them for over 24 hours? Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 23 hours ago, Marv's Neighbor said: Sad thing is that now that the pressure is mostly off Florida, when/if a real threat arrives, people may ignore it. The Carolina's could have some problems with coastal flooding. They don't call it the "low country" for nothing. I understand that concern. But since Matthew and then Irma, people seem to be taking a it a lot more seriously here, i think. If we go 10 years without any damage, they may slip again. Somehow I don't think we'll get that "lucky". But the think ordering a mandatory evacuation more than 48 hours before the storm might hit, is the kind of thing that can lead people to ignore authorities. Couldn't they just put the area on "notice", telling them sometime Tuesday they might get an evacuation order? I don't know. But anyone really paying attention to the storm knew there was no issue for this area on Monday. Seemed like a simple CYA move. 15 hours ago, Special K said: We look to be dodging another bullet here in the Orlando area...a few squalls of heavy rain, and if the wind went above 35 mph here, I’d be shocked. It's pretty much over here, whatever "it" was. We were very lucky, that's for sure. But as it ended up, a regular big rain storm is worse than what my area just went through. Again. Thankfully. What happened in the Bahamas was simply tragic. I really hope no more people are hurt by this storm. 9 hours ago, Just Jack said: That's awesome.

It as crazy watching that thing sit there for over a day as a cat 5 and knowing it was only about 100 miles from us down here in Jensen Beach. Tuesday night I let my dogs out in between bands and heard the hurricane hunters plane flying over. Hadn't heard air traffic for several days so I knew it was them.

Hope it takes a sharper turn NE asap so the impact won't quite be as bad. But we got tornado warnings popping up all over the place here as of right now. Supposed to get the worse of it later this afternoon into this evening. Edited September 5, 2019 by Patrick_Duffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
