TBBills Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Craziest part of this is people are complaining about having to evacuate... Almost want to let those people stay just to clear out room for more intelligent humans. Quote
Just Jack Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 TB12 is in the 4-6 foot flood stage. Quote

It might get you this time I wouldn't stay I would evacuate. 6 minutes ago, Gugny said: You are just oozing with empathy, aren't you? Empathy for people who refuse to evacuate or complain about it? No of course not. Quote

No of course not. Yes, I'm sure the decision to pack up and leave everything behind that you've ever worked for is an easy one for everybody. And I'm also sure that everybody has somewhere to go and can easily afford to get there. I can see why you're not wasting your time feeling for these people. 2 1 Quote

Don't waste your breath (metaphorically speaking) with these discussions. There are so many ________s at this forum. You can fill in the blank with the noun of your choice. I'm thinking of a whole bunch of them right now. By the way, I live in the northern West Palm area. It's gray, a bit drizzly....we'll have a nasty grey day for the second day in a row, but that's about it. I'm going to try to get in my beach walk today if I can. The folks on the west coast and like in the Sarasota area seem to have gotten the worst of it, but I haven't really looked into it since I got up today. 1 Quote
muppy Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 SMH I feel physically ill after reading the storm surge water above ground predictions. Tampa 4-6" and worse further south. I told hubby DANG 4-6 feet above ground? That place is fixing to become a swamp UGHH. Just think about that alone. Take 4-6" and measure that and then think of it coming right for your house or business. He said newscasters are saying this is the worst storm to ever hit Florida. And they have had some doozies in the past Blech. 1 Quote

My inlaws have family in those towns and did not evacuate because the estimate was much lower. Prayers to all in the path. 1 2 1 Quote

RiotAct Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Man, this is surreal. Punta Gorda is like mine and my wife’s second home. When the local Waffle House closes down, you know it ain’t good. 1 1 Quote

Draconator Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I was watching a Fort Meyers TV feed, and the weatherman said there is strong evidence that this could be upgraded to a Category 5 after the fact. 1 Quote

We just got a text video from a friend in Naples showing just the roof tops of cars currently under the storm surge. We lived with this stuff for about 30 years, but THAT got my attention! .
