J. Jackson Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 We go to Indian Rocks Beach every year and looks like it won't be next spring. Storm surge and wind will crush the western part of the greater Tampa area. My best to anyone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously, you can't compare a snow storm to a friggin storm surging ocean, 80mph+ wind and rain from a hurricane I was in West Palm Beach when a tropical storm came thru in the 70's. We were about a mile from the beach and I never experienced anything like it We lived on a little knoll about 10 ft higher than the boulevard. The road turned into a 2 ft deep river in about an hour. 16 inches of rain in 24 hrs with 60 mph winds. Mother nature on the rag. Scary but exciting.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted September 28, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted September 28, 2022 Wind is starting to pick up here in Punta Gorda, been raining nonstop since I got here, too. Tomorrow is supposed to be the shit show, hurricane force winds start around 8am-ish and build to a forecasted 120-130mph. Of course I told my father to go get water and food so he goes and gets tuna fish and chicken but no water. He thinks he's going to drink his fucking pool water. I have two water bottles and I'm filling them for me. What could go wrong, it's just a hurricane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t get flood insurance so he could end up fucked. Why? I thought the fed had to sell it to if you bought at least 90 days before the event .

Pft if you build right i.e. ICF or poured with poured roof with tuck under garage/car port you can sit in the living room and watch it destroy your cheep neighbors houses . Then collect a check for all the old shit you did not want any more that was stored in the carport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
