BEP pretty much proved this by saying she thought they were exaggerating the potential danger of this storm.
Lets not make this political. People are in the direct path of one of the worst hurricanes ever recorded. I just hope everyone evacs or is prepared

only the 2nd time in 14 years I’ve bugged out.

Looks like it ticked a little south of us. If it stays there or goes a little more south we won’t get any threating water surge of consequence and avoid the real high winds. We’d get 50-65 mph winds. We sometimes get 30-40 mph gusts in our normal summer afternoon showers.

Looks like I've got a projected surge of +9' above ground level. This is fantastic.

Right now it says 10-15 feet surge for me. My house is 8.5 feet above sea level. Not good math. But, it’s suppose to tick south before landfall due to that wind shear pushing it south.

My wife works at TGH. The aqua fence can withstand up to 15ft storm surge.

People don't realize the energy from high wind AND rain.

We deal with some insane winds in Southwest Kansas. We hit sustained 100mph wind a few years ago. Non-tornadic, straight line wind.

That's dry air. Hurricane air is HEAVY, moisture soaked air that carries a lot more mass and energy. Scary stuff.

Good luck, people. Use a rope and attach yourself to something large that floats, like Vita Vea.

Wind full of humidity will beat you down.

Staging for Linemen and first responders at Tropicana Field. Afterwards, maybe a make shift triage.

Learned that lesson shortly after I moved down here in October of 2016....the older neighbor down the road called frantically because his wife had fallen during the worst of the winds and rain we had here...I told him I would put on a coat and walk to his house.

It may have only been 45 MPH rain but damn that stung. Felt like it was sleeting outside.
