Although we're not out of the woods yet, it's looking like our county dodged a bullet. Keeping everyone near the eye in our prayers. Our local FB group is starting to put together donations and looking for people to deliver supplies to those who'll need help after the storm passes [Reply]

But I’m stocked up on weed, alcohol, and gummies! Wish us all luck down here in the cone!
Bless up from Tampa Bay!

If it’s not too late to leave, I’d get the hell out of there. Best of luck to you good sir. Hope you and your loved ones stay well. [Reply]

It's too late. They want everyone to hunker down wherever you are now [Reply]

Good times.
Hugo happened when I was at Great Lakes. My roommate and I were friends with a young married couple who were set to transfer to a command in Charleston the day it hit. Their assigned housing got wiped out, so they were told to stay put, but they had already moved out of their home and had nowhere to go. The Navy was amazingly unhelpful to them and basically did nothing. They ended up staying in our living room for two weeks until alternate housing was found for them.
I visited Charleston a couple of years later. There was still a ton of damage that hadn't yet been repaired. That one was definitely not overhyped. [Reply]
That phenomenon has always fascinated me. What I want to know, because I’ve never heard anyone talk about this aspect of it, is when the water comes back is it a nice easy flow or does it come rushing back in? [Reply]
According to NFL exec Jeff Miller, there is no change to the #Bucs-#Chiefs game on Sunday as of now. They are discussing all matters with local authorities. Should Hurricane Ian force a change, the game would be played in Minnesota at US Bank Stadium.

It never comes back. There will be a golf course in that former bay within two years. [Reply]
