Power flickered a couple times and shit was hitting the roof all night. Otherwise no big deal here. Wind topped out at around 40mph at around midnight. I could see power transformers popping in the distance, it was pretty cool actually. Just for context I'm in the right side of the red area in the map Helena posted.
Yeah, we do this every year. Second time this year actually. When you grow up with it you kinda know when it's gonna get fucky. The air changes and it gets really, really quiet at night. That's when you know shit's about to get real. If you can hear frogs singing you're usually in good shape though.
Because we do this every year- I almost stayed. Saw the high tide that morning with a strong offshore wind and knew we were fucked. Our house is still there but everything inside is completely fucked. But the family is safe and sound. I personally know a couple people that are dead out on sunset beach. One drowned in her apartment, another (idiot) electrocuted himself by not turning off his power and stayed in the flood… But at least I don’t live up in northern Fl…
That's the local media trying to sounds important and caring when it reality they only care about a high body count and ratings. The faggot officials there did the whole "write your name on your body with a sharpie" to the evac refusers like they always do to scare people. Whatever niggers. If we die then do your jobs we pay my taxes for.
It wasn’t the wind or rain in our area. The surge was unlike anything I’ve seen- my wife’s family has been in st Pete for generations and no one has seen this. Not elana, the no name storm, Ivan…… We had 4 feet in our house, and I feel that we were lucky. The house itself is relatively ok- just nothing in it…. Could’ve been much worse…
Our house is fucked. Been here a long, long time- this storm was u like anything we’ve seen in generations. Elana, the no name, Ivan (twice), all don’t compare to the surge that happened in the Tampa area
All good here. Slept like a baby through it all. I was supposed to have an impromptu 4 day weekend, but they decided to open the office today at 1800 last night. How’s everyone else?

Weather service gaslighting proves out again.
It wasn't near a Cat3 storm.
