Glad to see where you are that the main power poles seem to still be standing. I'm sure it will be bad, but to see those poles/ signs still upright is a blessing
I'd be finding a multi-layer parking garages and park my vehicle there if I am not in it driving away from the storm. What was really strange is all the RVs that were stuck in the flood during Ian - you literally have a small home on wheels that you can evacuate with and stay ahead of the floods and skip the shelters. Especially great if you have cats and dogs - they can stay with you.
I live here in Valdosta. It looks like he's in our downtown area. The problem with the parking garage idea is that what passes for downtown in Valdosta is pretty small and there aren't any parking garages!
Learn from Joplin, MO - always take the warnings serious every time even though it's inconvenient. You moved there knowing what to expect. Take all your cars as possible and evacuate.
When I was still married at our house, i made my husband hire tree trimmers to trim the eucalyptus trees in the back yard leaving them just tall enough that if they fell, they wouldn't touch the house. He wasn't keen because they gave us a lot of shade - that is until we had a huge windstorm where the neighbor's patio furniture ended up in our backyard and some people had tops of tall trees thrown onto their homes. Then my ex said - OMg, you were right. I'm glad you made me get those trees trimmed. Keep your trees trimmed to the height they will not cause issues if they fall.
Yeah, I'd have a small boat on hand if I lived in FL and vehicle ramps. You need to snorkel the exhaust to the top of your vehicle to drive through high waters.
Question: Why do none of your hurricane prone states build to the storm surges and flooding: higher foundations, garages on the bottom and homes on the top, stilts-raised foundations, banks up to the buildings, etc. I would have thought that all new homes from mid-1990s going forward would build according to the regular flooding your states get. Nobody will answer me on this. I mean CA has issues too with flood zones and mud slides and coastal flooding and anyone who has purchased in those areas should have done their research. My question is for every state. My county and parts of the next county north of us right on our border in CA have done a great job of redirecting flood waters, keeping flood zones as parks, golf courses, or undeveloped land/parks/trails with some exceptions. While we don't have seasonal flooding like you in Florida does but when we do get major flooding in wet years every 10 to 20 years - like 2023 and 2024 breaking the drought years. My university had a major in environmental design - where are all those graduates and why aren't they being able to build to the environment? I really wish that by now we are building to our environments - should be since at least the mid- to late 1990s when we finally have the technology.
Georgia isn't a storm surge state. Rivers flood but that's it. I live in valdosta and I'm 40. Thus is the worst one I've ever lived through and I was 9 I believe when hurricane andrew came through in the early 90s
God bless everyone and there pets.❤
