The Nasty Weather Thread

It worked. Good news yesterday evening. Broken foot, two smashed fingers, couple broken hearts and their first showers in 4 days but very thankful. Now we just sort 10001 pages of red tape and plot the comeback.

Injuries....

Speaks to the massiveness and viciousness of the storm. Very happy to hear your news though. Sad when you keep reading the news and the death count continuously piles up as rescuers dig more and more into the destruction.

Glad your news were good.

Getting power back will be great..... but getting water back is too precious for words.

Yeh bud made our day. The spread of damage is unfortunately very impressive. Cannot see an untouched structure anywhere and anyone needing firewood has lifetime supply, bring a chainsaw. Shocked at least PC beach area already has a couple stores coming back. The roll out on energy crews is good so far.

NC most certainly didn't get the full brunt of it. My parents are without power until Tuesday. Luckily for them they're on vacation so it's my problem. I had the chainsaw working hard yesterday.

I feel for Florida and all in the path, but it's the price of living on/near the beach.

Yeah, you had a lot of land mass between you and Michael. I imagine Georgia got hit pretty good too, since the Florida panhandle is relatively narrow and Michael just smashed right through there.

Chainsaws and generators. Those are the sounds that fill the air after a major hurricane hits.

Or the price of living 200-300 miles inland from any coast U.S.A I spose as Michael made Ga. as a cat 2. Glad you're safe Lyle.

I about had a tree fall on me, but yeah didn't cut off any fingers or toes working with the chainsaw so that's good.


Crazy thing here in NC is the folks who have beachfront property whine about the insurance they have to pay and they want the landlocked portion of the state to flip the bill for their extravagant lot locations and sometimes the big baller ass houses they have.....so yeah I feel for the folks who lose their belongings and stuff, but not enough to want to fucking pay for it because I'm not brazen enough to build a home on the Outer Banks which (for those of you who don't know) are basically "Sand dune islands" which take the brunt of the blow for the hurricanes which make landfall in NC....which isn't so much applicable for Michael but it is for Florence. Even inland the storm surge can be extremely bad as PCB and Mexico Beach found out.

Waiting on this fumble footed A hole 'Danny' to decide where he wants to touch down. Glorified rain storm likely but that Mississippi river is looking fierce. Record high. The levees should hold, bigger threat are runaway barges acting as torpedoes etc. And running out of rum.
