About to touch down in the Bahamas but so far all my fam are ok and no phone lines and shit down yet. Houses tend to be built a sturdier down there than in the US so hopefully that helps.
P.S. Hope your beach is ok too bro!

Not yet. My brother did tell me you thought he saw Bin Laden at the Atlantis Hotel the other day but in general terrorists don't **** with the Bahamas as they like to vacation there as well. You don't shit where you eat bro!

It's been a while since I had to prep for a tropical storm. Gulf Coast of Texas has been pretty quiet lately. We are overdue a serious one in Corpus Christi area.

Sounds like something Trump should be on. And most of his supporters. Or maybe I'm confusing that with Adolphoset. Or Hitlera. Or retardocyllin.

Is this thing going to be as bad as they are saying? 1.5 million ordered to evacuate with storm surges at 10 feet? 145 mph winds. Cat 4 right now. Could end up a 5. And it is gonna roll right up the coast. This could end up making Katrina look like a thunder shower.

It already was category 5 and downgraded to category 4. How often do hurricanes downgrade then go back up to category 5?

No idea. Just stating what they said on the Weather Channel. Guess they are just scare mongering. It was also at Category 3 and went back up to 4. They said it was still gaining strength.

Depends if it stays inland or not. If trajectory takes it more towards New Orleans then it will probably continue to weaken. If it pivots more towards NC and gets back over the Atlantic it may pick up more MPH as it's only about 5-7 miles below the threshold for category 5.
Basically the more warm water it is over the more likely for it to regain strength.

So just got some photos from my brother. For reference we live on a canal and our backyard pictured here has about a 15 foot drop to sea level. The homes in the background are across the canal which is about 200 feet wide. So pretty much the canal is at street level now as you cant even see the steps that used to lead down to where the canal was.

Thanks, that wasn't sarcasm or being a smartass btw. I genuinely have no idea how often hurricanes pick up strength after losing it.

No but there are supporters for Harrambe the Gorilla.
A local West Palm Beach news station’s live weather coverage of Hurricane Matthew was interrupted by a young man who urged viewers to take out and display their genitals forHarambe, the gorilla shot and killed by zookeepers in Cincinnati

Hurricanes strengthen in hot water. The hotter the water, the stronger it will become. When Katrina hit, the Gulf of Mexico was extremely hot and just kept building up the storm.

Katrina was a 5 and became a 4/3 when it hit. Katrina was a monster that covered most of the Gulf of Mexico with a giant eye. It was an extremely well formed storm. It didnt just break up when it hit land. It covered and just sent tidal surge after tidal surge. There have been stronger storms than Katrina, but the sure mass with strength made it nasty.
