Hurricane Milton Is Going CAT 5...

[@FeralGrammy321]

70 year old native Floridian here. I had been listening to assorted hurricane info sources all my adult life, and they were always all over the map preaching death and destruction regardless of what the storm was doing. Then, when you first started your channel, I happened across it, and you have been my go-to source ever since and i depend on you. Your info is spot on correct, realistic, and extremely well presented. You never go all drama queen hysterical. You just give the facts and great advice. Thank you so much for all you do.

I have a house there that we rent out. We are planning to leave TX and drive with supplies to get there after the storm and help with clean up. We did this in Ian too. It’s just devastating. Our house ALMOST flooded in Helene, many of our neighbors flooded. We got lucky. Storm surge is supposed to be worse so we are expecting we will flood. It will be the first time our house built in 1974 has ever flooded. My neighbors who have never evacuated for any hurricane (lived in their houses on my street for 30+ years) are evacuating for this one. They said Helene was too close, too scary and they can’t risk staying for Milton.

The storm surge probes were also very helpful in safely monitoring the Helene surge’s timing, speed and depth at the locations where they were placed.

[@aperison1988]

God never promises nothing bad will ever happen to us . He totally allows things to happen to people. It's not that he doesn't love us. He created the good and the bad . That is scripture. He wants us as people to care for each other in the hard times and take care of each other. If we love others we are doing his will . Time and chance happen to all . Also in scripture. We need to all be servants to eachother. Can you imagine a world where we all took care of each other instead of being out for ourselves . But we have free will , God will never force us to follow him . And if we choose to, we should walk like we talk , not just talk. There's so much going on right now, I believe things will get worse and worse like scripture says until the end of all things which I think is sooner than we realize. Regardless of what you believe or if you have a relationship with jesus or not ,what kind of people should we be ?

[@carlbrown8830]

A 10 to 12 foot storm surge doesn't sound terrible, but keep in mind, salt water is heavier than fresh water so if you live next to a river (especially one that is swollen from rain), the storm surge will act as a dam, forcing the river level to rise as it tries to overcome the surge. This will increase the water level above the surge and could possibly double the water level.
