Wacka Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Sanibel and Captiva islands are cut off from the world. The causeway to the islands got totally washed out. Not a wood structure, but concrete just like the Tthruway. All that is left are the concrete pillars, the roadbed is totally gone.

Son of a K-Gun Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Saw that with the causeway...makes a dangerous situation even worse for any residents that chose not to evacuate. There have been at least two deaths reported already on Sanibel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really shouldn't be living on barrier islands. The people in flood plains get heat... Why are they developing those places! Move to some where safer, why rebuild? Not being cold here... But where's the common sense. It's better for the environment anyway. We are still better than in 1926 & 1928. If we get out of this storm with only a few deaths... Way better off, modern systems are working. 2,500! Just think of how many, many more are occupying in the middle of Mutha Nature's path today almost a 100 years later!

It is a cruel irony that some of the most beautiful places in the world present so much potential for danger to its residents. Could say the same for Southern California... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Funny how Ian and Charley took such similar paths, but here's a little piece of trivia for you: As you can see from the picture above, the Hurricane wind field of Charley could fit inside of the eye of Ian!! Thats just how massive a storm Ian was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Charley picture is zoomed out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron, OH Syracuse actually gets more total snowfall per year than Buffalo on average. It's just we have those pesky Lake Effect snowbands that can dump 7ft of snow in a day and a half. I was stranded at work for 3 days, 2 inches of snow, while my wife at home in Cheektowaga had the 7 feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCockSportif Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Regarding Miami, I was there (south beach) this past week for a work conference. Hot, humid, cloudy, followed by lots of rain and wind. It started raining Monday afternoon and by mid Tuesday it was definitely tropical storm like. It basically stopped by Wednesday night. In the end it was a LOT of rain in a short amount of time, and Miami seems to flood easily. Naturally, the weather was beautiful on Thursday, the day we were leaving, oh, and the tiny bikini crowd started making an appearance by the hotel pool. On the Uber to the airport, you could see that some damage had taken place during the storm: toppled palm trees, flooded yards, sunken or upside down boats, and so on. To my surprise, flying out wasn't that bad. We were delayed by maybe an hour, and they took a different path to get around the storm. It wasn't nearly as turbulent as I expected. In the end, we were maybe half hour late getting into Boston, which was totally fine. Overall, having a group of a couple hundred people together during a weather event like this one was a "team building" experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
