Tbh while the media might overhype the fear mongering, I could only imagine how backlash would be if damages were catastrophic and people felt they weren't warned enough.

It always feels like they're exaggerating, both before and after, but you have to prepare for the worst. I've been through a lot of hurricanes and have been fortunate enough not to ever get a direct hit. I'm in the path right now, hoping for the best. Won't leave if I don't have to

I know it's easy to feel that way, I live in Leon County and we almost never catch major damage from these things, but the places that do get a direct hit are fucking annihilated. And hurricanes can and do change directions

um Hurricanes fuck shit up badly if you are unlucky to be in the direct path of them, even "minor" ones cause well into hundreds of millions of dollars of damage fairly frequently.

I'm honestly suprised at how rapidly this one's building up. When it was still a potential tropical cyclone I commented on "well, so long as it doesn't just sit there and build up it'll be nothin"

How fast they grow up.

Always evacuate. You don't wanna take that risk. People in Houston didn't evacuate after Hurricanes Rita and then Ike wrecked us and we were sitting ducks. We all sat around with no electricity for weeks. We made the same mistake with Harvey, we thought it was overhyped like all the others, but it turned out to be worse than anyone could have predicted.

exactly this. i'm in the Miami area and last year we didn't even lose power when Irma hit. I have friends on the Gulf Coast who had nothing for a week and even now there's still some damage the city hasn't gotten around to fixing

I'm in Lee and Collier County, there's still people getting their roofs fixed from Irma a year later, roofers can't even keep up with the work.

Fucking eye wall came knocking on my door. Weird thing was one side of the building was a fucking wind tunnel of death as expected, the other side was oddly calmer to the point that I sat outside in a flimsy screened-in lanai drinking through the whole storm.

Jesus I got fucking sloshed during the storm. That was probably a poor decision, if that storm surge came in I'd have been too damn drunk to do anything but be doomed :/

Friends, family, and hotels anywhere out of the storms path. We also have designated hurricane shelters you can bunker down in.

Two cucks who clearly have never lived in Florida and have no experience outside their mom's basement besides hearing doom and gloom from media. I lived through fucking Charlie, Andrew, and Irma. I'll be fucking fine. I ain't evacuating outta here, and I'm damn sure I'll have minor damages at worst
