I’m not far from Cocoa Beach.......
......We had a hurricane stall off our coast in ‘79
only a Cat 1
I truly wished we had evacuated when the power of this off shore Cat 1 hit.
It spawned tornadoes, high winds, broken power lines, torn roofs, etc
Even the best construction shows wear and tear from constant beating by prolonged winds, projectiles and horizontal rain. The flooding from stalled storms is devastating. The best hope for Haiti would be if Matthew picks up forward speed.
"But it is only a weak tropical storm," said by a yahoo from Kansas...
Guen! Sorry I didn’t reply ..got caught up today doing errands.
Well girl, we made it through all the others, we’ll do it again.After Charlie we had no power for 10 days. Ugh. But if they say evacuate...you go! Once you’ve stayed in a bad one it convinces you..
