I feel for the panhandle the most.... it will be mass devastation.

IF OUR particular area were to get hit the same way....And devastation is the ONLY word to use.
Any slight deviation in projected path can result in totally different situations.
Pepper... EVEN IF it stays offshore... the effects on our area are going to be seriously severe.
Seriously sever.
For example...'
Even on a freaky serious heavy rainy day...
homes / streets / businesses flood here.
We can get flash flooding in our lower lying areas (which are EVERYWHERE here) on a bad rain storm.
As for people ON the waters.... arggg... its almost guaranteed...
This storm...
No matter what...
IS GOING TO cause mass damage to my area.
People will be homeless to worse ... a mathematical certainty.
Correct..... we are in the red 6-10 foot range.
My particular area is 15-18 foot above sea level.... and i am over a mile inland.Correct..... we are in the red 6-10 foot range.
We start to flood at 2 in all low lying areas.
Some areas like beach and coast low areas flood at 1.
It will here in the Midwest..Stay safe! Hope the storm misses you!!
In storm prone areas all power lines should be underground.The trees can be most of the problematic things...
Wind and rain take em down.
When they go down....
Power lines go down.
This takes time to remove the trees and debris from roadways first.... then to remove downed lines...
Then to rerun the lines.
This is the biatch part.
Not to mention you CANNOT drive anywhere so you are stuck in place for some time if bad.
Stressful is an understatement for many.I haven’t seen any posts by Retired Sarge. He’s near Pensacola and suffered badly with hurricane Michael. I don’t think I could live in FL with yearly hurricane threats. Very stressful!
They have started this infrastructure in certain areas.In storm prone areas all power lines should be underground.
Buried electric cables are fully waterproof.They have started this infrastructure in certain areas.
Kinda alwways made me wonder how that works under 4 feet + of water though .. heh
I used to strip these types of cables.
Furthermore...
Our power infrastructure is VERY fragile IN OUR particular area due to the fact that we have not had a direct hit causing it to be rebuilt.
So...
A storm like this will automatically cause 100's of thousands if not close to 1 million people in our area alone to be powerless.
Never mind the rest of the state areas which will be floundered... which will for sure be dark for some time.
