Thanks. Yeah, Helene was moving parallel to the state and was really aimed at GA, but that means the hurricane wall hit Tampa and the Panhandle. They are still under sand/water over there. I heard someone on NPR today advising people who live there to file two separate claims for each hurricane...rather than filing one claim together since they're only like a week apart...
but yeah climate change ain't real, nooooope. Sigh.
This time the storm is moving AT Florida. Basically if you live in FL you will be impacted, if you live on the west coast of FL you need to have left the state or at least moved eastward by now. We live in Central FL so we will be in a dangerous situation, but won't have to worry about storm surge or the impact of a Cat 3-4 storm. By the time it gets inland it will destabilize and weaken to a Cat 2, 3 at the very worst.
Which is still bad and there will be a loss of power, downed trees, possible flooding, etc. But it's unlikely to be as deadly here. And depending on how the infrastructure holds up we could all be back to work by Friday. It's still hard to tell so we'll have to wait and see.
