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

And devastation is the ONLY word to use.

And devastation is the ONLY word to use.

IF OUR particular area were to get hit the same way....
The words "mass devistation" would be an undestatement.

IF...................... you want to SEE what we would be facing.... heh...... i urge you to watch this.

Project Phoenix Hurricane.

It is a simulation of a "what if" scenario.

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.
We start to flood at 2 in all low lying areas.
Some areas like beach and coast low areas flood at 1.

My particular area is 15-18 foot above sea level.... and i am over a mile inland.
Flood zone C... just in my small little area....
Problem is....
We are completely surrounded by flood zones A-B... so if they flood we are stuck... and no power can be restored anyway in that.

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.

Our area is under mandatory evacuation in Zone A and have been since yesterday.
Starts at 2 pm today.
Crazy time now.

The one good thing about this storm is going to be...
if it in fact does what it is projected to do... which is ... it is going to be moving fast.
The faster it goes by the better we will fair.
The slower the storm the worse it is for all concerned.
