Signing off here Arc. Praying for you and all.Just in our area we have OVER 3.2 million people... most fleeing at once.
Good morning
I have a query: You are looking for a place to hunker down in-but why east?Sorry to "vent" here so much on this.
But hey... gotta do it somewhere.
:P
Being safe(r)r is the key here obviously....
but the stress of potentially loosing your home and belongings is a VERY high stress level situation on the back of that.
Beings 50% are not insured ..... this thought alone of a life changing event to a degree of this...
that will scare the living shit out of anyone.
Insurance is VERY expensive and VERY hard to get worth a damn.... and flood coverage is like a white whale.
Especially if you live anywhere close to water or zones A-B-C.
I have to have a look at the discussion board of what they're telling folks on AMI.I am in zone C... i am "up" a bit... thats why.
About 1 mile from the ocean.
But........
Storm surges can travel inland up to 30 miles, depending on the power of the storm and the topography of the area:
Storm surges are abnormal rises in seawater level that occur when a storm's winds push water on shore. They can:
- Hurricane Laura
The storm surge from Hurricane Laura reached 23–30 miles inland in Louisiana.- Hurricane Ike
The storm surge from Hurricane Ike reached nearly 30 miles inland in some parts of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana.- Hurricane Ian
The storm surge from Hurricane Ian reached 15 miles inland in Pinellas County, Florida, and up to 24 miles inland along rivers and waterways.
- Increase water levels by up to 20 feet
- Be 50 to 100 miles wide
- Range in height from 3 to 25+ feet, depending on the hurricane's intensity
- Cause flooding that can reach tens of miles inland
Well the Island really took a hit with Helen. 3-4ft of water in every building and 150 homes totally gone.I have to have a look at the discussion board of what they're telling folks on AMI.
The Island is the the same hight as the surge, so it's going to roll right over.
It's a barrier island I believe.
Same here....cautious and waiting for now....if she strays south at all we're doomed. The Florida bay will pile into the everglades and keys. Thinking about storm shutters now, as everything else is buckling up. Still have big decisions to make regarding about 4 million dollars in fishing yachts, and where to protect them....we ain't going north that's for sure !! Unlike ARC, we are quite hardened down here, and we feel all the storms in some way or another as they more often than not pass close to us here in the islands !! So I've seen this approach before....late storm that enters from the west and exits on the east coast. Combined with a strong October king tide, and the surge will dwarf what we just saw from helene!! In key largo we are in the heel of Florida bay....the water has no where to go except through the small gaps in the islands. Storm surge can be epic here in this scenario.Good morning everyone. Preparing for Milton. My side of the state will not have the winds that the gulf side will have. Still we will have cat 1 conditions & I'm on an island 3 blocks from the beach. We have our supplies in, now I'm just buttoning up the house and my daughters house. She's out of town. Fingers crossed 🤞 & prayers for all. All of us here in Florida appreciate the good wishes and concern of everyone. Thank you.
