Man stays in houseboat during hurricane. See where he ended up

[@yvonnewood7757]

I live in The Bahamas 🇧🇸, and I have never heard of anyone who lives on a boat ever deciding to ride out a storm in their water home. In case people are unaware, hurricanes are extremely dangerous and are responsible for many deaths and lots of destruction. Some years back, I don't remember which hurricane it was, but that storm literally brought 2 huge metal hulled ships and deposited them both on the beach across from the station where I worked. It was amazing to see that. I never knew that it was possible, but there they were, sitting on the beach for a few weeks before they were finally relaunched. Hurricane Dorian, that hit the islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama took many lives in this country. It stayed over the island of Abaco for a long period of time just beating up that island. Do not take hurricanes lightly. They are a force to reckon with!

Nature takes its course, building houses in the beach where water/hurricane naturally comes around eight times annually. It's like building a house in receded river, you know it's going to fill up sooner or later. They love the beach view on a good day and I love it under water.

But we all know people aren't shopping for practicality. I'm with you on no residential homes within a certain distance. Turn it all into national park/wetlands. There's already a federal relocation program in place for the residents of Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana due to sea level rise. I suspect there will be more to follow. I'd love to live on the beach myself, but unless it's in the form of camping or living in a little bamboo tiki hut that costs all of 500 dollars to re-build (and we all know building codes won't allow that), I'll live elsewhere.

[@brolinofvandar]

Fort Myers Beach was NOT in the direct path of the hurricane until the last couple of days. It was initially expected to hit Tampa dead on. As it turns out, Tampa got little more than rain, based on reports from family down there. Had it continued on the original track and nailed Tampa, Fort Meyers wouldn't have had near as much damage. Probably a bit more than Tampa did get, since they'd be on the "dirty" side of the storm, but not the destruction they got. In that case, the houseboat guy probably would have been fine. He'd probably have both boats still sitting there at the pier. By the time that track changed, he wouldn't have had time to do anything with the boats but abandon them. Given that the video indicated he ran the engines trying to hold the boats in place, had he not been there the boats might have been a complete loss.

During Katrina, huge casino barges were lifted up by the water and acted as battering rams completely destroying building after building in their wake, leaving behind only sand and a few unrecognizable foundation slabs.
