    TD-14 (Hurricane Milton)

    Bad as Milton was, I feel like it was better than expected. If power out is your only problem, you fared great. Location means all the difference, except when a hurricane spawns tornados. I was surprised about tornadoes; I did not know that was a thing.

    Watching the live feed, people in Clearwater right west of Tampa, said their apartment complex was flooded to waist high on the second story level. So the first story went completely underwater.

    Other issue is after the storm surge, the power is likely to be out, maybe for days or couple weeks. Maybe utility water is also gone, or unsafe. Most likely any generators you had are also flooded, all sorts of knock on effects, stores wont be open. Life there is going to be hard for a while...

    Just imagine, stand outside next to home or building and mark on the wall the 15 foot line in your mind...that is where the water surge might go. And the water is being forced inland with strong winds. And debris floating is going to be slamming into things. That has tremendous force, moving...

    I don't believe in man made climate change myself. Hurricanes have been around for millennia, just that the climate is always changing.

    TD-14 (Hurricane Milton)

    They get so much drama out of these hurricanes, it is only 10 to 15 foot storm surge. From my experience being 35 feet above the water level, it all depends where you are when it hits as to what actually happens to you. During Isabel my boat rode out the storm in the water and yes it rose up a...

    If your house goes underwater, maybe you can survive in the boat. I know a family did that during Hurricane Isabel in Poquoson Virginia. They said it was terrifying.
