A whole lot of wind & water is coming ashore tomorrow.

We are prepared and a little scared. Inside the cone of uncertainty waiting . . . waiting . . .
It’s going to be a long night.

I saw footage of Ft. Meyers yesterday afternoon just from the surge before the storm. That place can’t get a fucking break!

Yeah man, this storm has been bad
Like, “no one alive has ever seen a storm of this magnitude hit this area”-type bad
What’s crazy is Ft Myers / FM Beach weren’t even in the direct path that had it worst 
Still a lot more news to come as the flooding etc continues
Parts of TN, GA, NC, SC are in rough shape from the intense rain & wind
Stay safe out there, OGs
Places can be rebuilt, but people cannot be replaced

i recall when erin that hit pensacola almost 30 years ago. i had a buddy that made bank working after andrew ran through homestead a couple of years before and we bought a camper and went down to work. then opal followed the path almost exactly. i spent two years down there working on the beach. what i recall the most was that the wind wasn’t near as bad as the storm surge on the east side of it. i will never forget everyone just coming out when the eye passed over checking on one another.

The old saying is “Hide from the wind. Run from the sea.”
Helene made some small moves to the east Thursday afternoon. That move was away from our house but still too close. Just before landfall it zig zagged a bit farther east. Mo’ better still. We lost power around 11P Thursday. Around 1:30A the heaviest winds started. By sunrise Friday the storm was well across the GA line. Power was restored last night. No damage from big trees dropping pieces and parts. Much clutter to pick up back that will not be happening today. I’m beat.

Not to make light of it but I always try to watch the storm chasers whenever there’s a big hurricane coming so I was watching all the other night during the lead up and landfall. At one point I was watching a street that was flooding and then out of nowhere the storm chasers randomly noticed a guy just swimming around down the street. He wasn’t drowning or in trouble, just going for a little late night swim in the road by himself. When they first noticed him the one guy goes “What in the Florida?.. Guys, we’ve got Florida Man things happening right now…”

During the lead up I saw a FL traffic cam show a Cybertruck driving down a flooded street 
Those things rust in the rain, imagine what’s going to happen to it from this

Whenever Jim Cantore shows up you know it’s going to be bad. He was in Tallahassee.
