Crazy. I guess on a positive note those houses/condo's on the east side of the boulevard can now be considered beachfront properties?
FWIW, airport anemometers are not rated to measure wind speeds of major hurricanes. Airports would be shut down long before those kind of wind speeds. Some even have a top rated wind speed as low as 65 MPH. Maybe Perry was rated at 100 MPH?
sorry been running around all day trying to restock on supplies and whatnot. Got about 4 feet of water in the main level. Our jeep is fine but my work truck outside looks to be fvcked from the water. Also, fvcking asshole Pinellas Co isn’t allowing anyone reentry to the ****ing islands. Even residents! My wife is at home alone and I’ve been sitting at the cop blockade for 3 hours waiting to get in. I’m fvcking steaming right now.
Completely possible with respect to the max gust, but the wind measurement remains in proportion.
We dropped our flood policy after having for 5 years. By the time you pay flood premium ~ $5k, first $50k deductible was on you then at ~ $200k they cap you. So for us first $55k was on us with potential to have up to $150k covered. Then if you have a claim the HO policy and flood policy companies point fingers at each other if caused by water or wind and who's responsible. Then you hire a personal adjuster and it's a long drawn out process. Have been through all this with Ian. We are in flood zone AE, 9' above sea level and barely missed getting water in house. Neighbors had it.
Brother in law is supposed to fly out of Charlotte tonight and I'm supposed to pick him up. A little bit of me hopes he is delayed until tomorrow so someone else can do it
Nice thief from Reddit 😂 unless that was you.
Associated with this...those increased insurance premiums paid by EVERYONE for these disasters and Trump supporters will piss and moan and blame Dems for increased costs to insure.
lol no. I am on a 6 week vacation. 👶
We’ve got a cabin up there. It’s a gorgeous area. Catastrophic damage going on. Hearing Chimney Rock, NC may have been wiped out?
North Carolina's Lake Lure Dam holding after prompting fears of break
Authorities went house-to-house urging people below the dam of a popular lake in the western North Carolina mountains to evacuate Friday after officials warned the barrier could be nearing failure.www.foxweather.com
LAKE LURE, N.C. – People living near a popular lake in the western North Carolina mountains have been urged to flee to higher ground as officials warn a dam is close to failure.
Relentless rain from what was once Hurricane Helene has resulted in catastrophic flooding from Florida to North Carolina as the storm moves inland across the Southeast.
Rutherford County Emergency Management officials issued a dire warning in a Facebook post Friday to residents near Lake Lure.
"Residents below the Lake Lure Dam need to evacuate to higher ground immediately!!" officials wrote in the post. "Dam failure imminient!! Evacuate to higher ground immediately!!"
Earlier, officials said water from the flooded Broad River is flowing over the Lake Lure Dam. They ordered people living along more than 30 roads near the lake to immediately move to higher ground.
Tragic if true. That was a really pretty little town along the Broad River.
Wishful thinking??????
Well they built that town in the early 20th century, before we knew much about climate change. That river rose at least 30 feet.
