ANOTHER FRIGGIN HURRICANE: Pics and videos at ground zero...

[Chechem]

I’ve spend a good bit of time in Mexico Beach. Breaks my heart. 

Chech, have you heard from your buddy from Cape San Blas?

Yeah.  He was in Dothan, and was driving down to CSB today.  Doubt he made it, but he was trying.

Said his neighbor called.  Lots of damage, but no specifics about whether his house survived.  His house is 8' above the ground, and the neighbor said the surge was 6' there.  So many trees across the road and driveway that his neighbor couldn't go anywhere yet or see the houses on either side.

[Chechem]

6 deaths and counting.  God knows how high the toll will be.

Yeah, I heard that you couldn’t get to Mexico Beach or past, that Hwy 98 is unnavigable.

Marianna, Fl is about 50-60 miles inland. Downtown was destroyed.

A hurricane can do a lot of damage that is why when they get a warning they should leave no matter if the weather people are right or not. JMPO. RTR!

My buddy, whose house is in San Blas (along the road to it), showed me pics of his house this morning.  They were all aerial pics, but it appears that his house is okay.  At least the roof is intact.  Hard to tell much more. 

He wasn't allowed to go see for himself, but his neighbor's house was rented and the renters said my friend's house was still standing.

I know a fella that retired to a house on the beach in Port St. Joe a little over a year ago.  We got in touch with him yesterday, and he and his wife went to Destin (probably should've gone farther).  He has no idea about the condition of his house, and of course it will be several days before they can drive back.

You can tell him that the Troopers told my buddy the road to San Blas was closed until Oct 20th.  Not sure if that's official.

I heard from my BIL in Virginia (between Richmond and Charlottesville).  They had 6" of rain LAST NIGHT.  Lots of flooding there.

POWER OUTAGES:

Alabama Power = 12,500

North Carolina = 450,000

Virginia = 490,000

Death toll up to 11 now (Weather Channel).

 

People who kept children in harms way should be slapped.

I heard from my BIL in Virginia (between Richmond and Charlottesville).  They had 6" of rain LAST NIGHT.  Lots of flooding there.

POWER OUTAGES:

Alabama Power = 12,500

North Carolina = 450,000

Virginia = 490,000

Reports say we had 6+ inches here yesterday. The I-85/I-385 interchange was under water yesterday. Lots of local flooding, but everything is pretty much back to normal today.

Glad to here your buddy's house is ok, Chech, even though it may be quite some time before they can get back to see it.

He's really worried about mildew.  He bought storm shutters for it, and his neighbor closed them for him before the storm.  But he doesn't know how much water got inside, etc.
