Base couldn't even function properly for a week waiting for people. I've been through storms before. They come and go. You run every time the Weather channel posts a doom and gloom, you won't even be able to run a business. And believe me, they hype stuff up all the time.

I remember watching tv and this storm became a monster at the last minute 40 miles from land fall 155 mph winds, by this time it was to late. It toke us 2 days to cut our way out of our neighbor hood. One of my neighbors was one of the first to die in this storm he was an older man and suffered a heart attack when a 50 ft pine tree crushed his house. It then had taken 4 days before they could remove his body from his house. It was like a bad dream for the first 2 weeks after the storm. And it’s been over 2 months since this monster destroyed our area and it still looks like a nuclear bomb had been dropped on us.

I grew up in tornado alley and now live in NC about 3 hours inland. Hugo was my first in 89, was at my grandparents. That was my first experience and it was a cat 1 when it hit Charlotte. Floyd was a nightmare in 99. Isabel was a cat 3 at landfall, but remember that one. Matthew in 2016 flooded areas an hour away in 2 directions. We lost power for 28 hours. Flash forward to 2018 and Florence. She topped Floyd. 22” almost in my area, I’m inland. 4 days of constant rain and we thought day 3 was the worst, not even close. 10” on the last day and severe weather on the backside of the storm. Same areas heavily flooded by Matthew got it again. Then Michael a month later....5” from him but the saving grace it moved quickly. I hate to think if Florence would’ve been a 4 how bad it would’ve been.

I fear that wants to MEDIA leaves, all of this attention and help will go with it. It's going to take many, many years for this town to rebuild. We are still trying to locate all our friends. We had a ton of damage but my community and my neighbors suffered the most. Please as you watch these videos, addisu your prayer. I know people are talking good and trying to keep everyone spirits up but everyone is still suffering from such a traumatic and devastating hurricane. My family and I completely underestimated the storm. The last we had even bothered to check on it was early that morning when it was like a category 2. We have lived through many hurricanes and that's why so many people stayed. It was not a dumb decision for people to stay.

I don't know why people feel safe in hotels. Especially cheap motels. But apparently they do.. Putting far too much faith in them to be honest.

Jake Smith I can understand the mobile home thing. Or just bad luck and ending up in one during a hurricane. Also, homelessness is a factor. And I'd definitely take a motel or hotel over a mobile home any day during a hurricane. But I've seen people leave structurally sound homes, that have survived multiple hurricanes, to take shelter in hotels that previously had to be closed for a while. Like homes that certainly would make it through far better. And HAVE made it through far better. Just doesn't make sense. But there seems to be a "safety" complex about it for many people. As for this motel, I'm glad it held up and everyone was alright.

I hope loss of life will be minimal but what I am seeing with Dorian , I fear fifty to a hundred thousand will perish in the Bahamas as we speak. It is landfalling now.

I know this was a bad storm, but there is no excuse for the roof to be leaking like that without a tornado touching down. Buildings should be built to withstand the worst storms with minimal damage. When Ike struck here in 2008, a bunch of my neighbors lost shingles and vents on their roofs, my house had zero damage. You just have to buy a quality roof and install it correctly. Most roofers use two nails per shingle piece, you should use four. This building probably had a metal roof so there really is no excuse. What it comes down to is cutting cost in building these new structures.
@P_RO_5 жыл бұрын
It takes a LOT more than correctly installed shingles to withstand a hurricane, and besides this wasn't a shingle roof. Or a metal one. And this wasn't Ike either, but a very strong hurricane where even the best isn't any guarantee you'll come through intact, much less undamaged. Care in construction is only a part of the picture and luck plays a bigger role than you think.

It's insane how well the trees took it! But then again, these tree species evolved to withstand such storms. Obviously, many trees get taken out, but many also remain that trees in other regions, if they were over in the Gulf, they would not. This was filmed quite well! Little bit of a scare with the roofing flying into the parking lot.

I'd like to know the truth about Hurricane Ivan's true category in N.W. Florida, because it literally roared from 10pm to 8am and Dennis 10 months later, not that it roared but the eyewall was outrageously intense, both of them. They destroyed us.

I live to the east of landfall at Alligator Point. Three days after the storm, I went with a group of friends to help clean up the old Port St. Joe Beach theater. This beautiful town and certainly the theater were devastated-the destruction in Port St. Joe was mind numbing-I didn't know what to feel, so I felt nothing and just went to work. The theater had lost its entire roof so was filled with muck and sea grass. We began with shovel and wheelbarrow to begin the clean up-as was everyone else in town. In one shovel-full of muck, I found the remains of a bluejay, bright blue feathers standing out in the grey/brown tangle of stuff. I felt that and all the devastation all at once-and had to sit down-to gather myself for a minute before I could get up and start again. It will be a long time before normalcy returns to these areas-and then "normal" will be something very different than what it was before.

@@denouemen Very touching account. Thanks for responding. My most vivid memory of such things was the sight of literally thousands of dead fish and birds on South Padre Island, TX in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Allen in August 1980. I had access at that time as a young 18 year-old photojournalist armed with a 35mm camera and a "Texas Department of Public Safety Press Pass." I still have those photos of all the dead animals, and I guess that's why I posted my initial remark above.

Shumla 7 Ranch animals can sense weather and natural occurrences like that so days before the storm hit we noticed a lot of the wildlife was gone. We even went to the beach the Saturday before and didn’t notice any birds. We had mandatory evacuation in the zone we live in and the day we came back to our house we saw the typical deer on the side of the road grazing, so we knew they found somewhere to just hunker down if they didn’t make it out before. They don’t call it “animal instincts” for nothing!!
