Godspeed to all in the path of this deadly storm.

My nephew is in Jax. He said they are evacuating the beach and then closing the bridge across the intercoastal waterway so nobody can get back on. Yesterday they were not letting anybody over the bridge unless they could prove they lived at the beach. Nephew is in Orange Park far from the beach but his employer sent everybody home yesterday and they are closing for 2 days. I guess all the big box stores are sold out of essentials already.

Expectation for Jax beach is 20 ft surge with waves going over the dunes.

I looked up the radar of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and I saw it was at 175 mph threatening the Gulf coast , it hit with a 28 foot storm surge that’s a rolling tsuanmami and tidal wave 28 feet high . I thought I ‘d better drive out of southern Louisiana.I barely made it out.
Largest in width to ever hit the USA

11am advisory - 140 mph winds. Cat 4.

On the lighter side, there will not be any hanging chads.

Obama is still not declaring early emergency relief as requested. I guess Obama is showing everyone how it sucks to be a Republican governor who supports The Donald.

Obama wants mayhem and destruction. He usues it to invoke race riots where ever he can.
