These people don't surf it sucks for them because if they did or knew someone that did they'd be filming some action. Puerto Ricos south side had 15 foot faces at some point but we will never see videos of people lucky enough to be there going left on that day. Meanwhile this guy is talking about the danger of ankle snappers.

Give it a couple of hours. I hope you don't take this lightly and get somewhere safe on higher ground in a very strong structure.

[@nathanmyles3785]

@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 Facts. I was in New Orleans the prior weekend and the radio stations were advertising hurricane parties with half off drinks and a promise to stay open until the storm was over. I know for a fact that most who went to those parties ended up stuck in the Superdome.

[@niqwalshensemble9164]

[@RaniVeluNachar-kx4lu]

You know, these big early storms are actually doing what all TS do. They pull heat out of the surface waters and lift it way up into the 30 thousand elevation of the atmosphere and that cools the heat very well. The TS action is like a giant Air Conditioner. I wonder if we have enough big early storms, if the effect will be to cool the surface ocean waters and possible decrease the severity of later in the season storms?

[@stacyjd2759]

He should be reporting from th3 South of the which will be most impacted. Parishes like St. Elizabeth, Mandeville...Kingston even. Monyego Bay is on the north coast of the island

[@muleface1066]

I'm sure it will get worse, but those waves are ankle biters. Having said that, I hope everyone will stay safe. BTW--when you're acknowledging that more people might be dead, don't say "get this." It's not a statistic we should be happy about or even amused by.

People freaking out and buying all the crap. The storm is a giant tornado. If your house goes so does everything you stocked up on. The grocery stores and food storage are better abled to deal with the storm and keep food secure with generators and solid structure. Humans are motivated by money and it cause more problems than they fix especially when it comes to disasters.
