6-10 or 10-15 foot storm surges. You cannot ride this storm out if you are on the west coast. You have to get out.

I remember Gov. DeSantis telling people to flee Helene. Listen Up People.

Would be amazing to see this level of competence and organization for the rest of the US during disasters.

[oldschoolman]

From my experience, getting the hell out of the way of a massive storm is a lot more effective than praying! 😊

You really have to appreciate the people making highly partisan comments in the comment section. How but we just chill for a moment and wish the best for the people in Fl. It's gonna be rough and partisan politics isn't helping anyone with this.
