More positive vibes coming your way @Surfermom, stay safe, our thoughts are with you. x
And our thoughts are with all in Florida.
God Bless.
Hello, everyone!
How very kind of you all to think of us here in FL. Our family and community was hit by storm surge and have some minor damage, we are very fortunate. Several of our friends have had terrible damage to their homes, but all are safe.
We are taking some days off to help with recovery efforts. I’ll have photos soon.
Take care!
Can’t really imagine how terrifying that is…Hope your all ok now with the worst of the storm behind you.
So pleased you are all ok after such an awful storm.
Thank you for responding @Surfermom, it is a big relief to hear from you and know you are safe.
Good to hear from you, and you are all safe and well Surfer, it was quite worrying…
See…The power of prayer does work…
Thank you all so much. I feel like crying it’s so bad for our neighbors down the coast…but there is no crying in baseball or hurricane recovery. You just put your head down and get on with it.
I am back at the house to wash and swap out clothes, water plants and collect the mail before heading back out.
Have a nice week and sincerely, thank you again!
Another one.
This is what you get when you mess about with the weather…
This extreme weather only started when we started altering the composition of the atmosphere.
This one, that jump from a tropical storm to cat V in less than 24 hours, is going be a big one.
This is number 2, so on average, there will be another one, to hit Florida.
But being “unsurvivable”! That was the same thing said about the last one. Couple of hundred died from it, but millions survived. So “unsurvivable” is most likely coming from someone that’s has either never heard about Hurricanes or never experienced one
Hope everyone manages to say safe during this storm. I’ve been watching its progress with interest as I’ll be there myself in a couple of months.
How on earth people manage to get through these awful hurricanes I’ll never know . Do they have cellars to go down into, and how is it the cellars stay intact ? I cant imagine the fear .
Thinking of Florida
Florida does not (normally) have basements because the water level.
A few things have to be taken into consideration. Everyone has a good chance of losing their roof. Concrete building have a 90%+ of staying intact minus a roof of windows. Normal American built home have about a 50% chance of surviving with damage depending on the condition of the home.
Double wide, Trailers, RVs will take serious damages.
Lets hope it isn’t as bad as been forecast…
I’m sure all our thoughts are with Surfermom and anyone else in it’s path…
It must be so frightening for everyone in Florida, I hope and pray for their safety.
Where do people go for safety . Do they have solid built community halls or special places to go to .
I saw the exodus on the news thousands of cars , but where will they go .
It’s heartbreaking to hear about another hurricane approaching Florida, I just can’t imagine how terrified the population must be, but how can everyone escape? It’s a race against time Not everyone will be able to just leave and get in a car, heading North or South, the roads would be completely jammed, I’m sure there’s an evacuation plan but for so many residents, how can every single person be saved? It’s just too sad to even think about. I saw the video of the meteorologist in tears.
I hope and pray for all of Florida.
