The last good one we had hit here two years ago took down a tree, the power lines, and had us blocked in for a full night and day. The temp was so sweltering, even at 11 at night, I sat in my car with the A/C running, listened to SiriusXM, and drank beer until I was good and sauced, so I could sleep through the heat. I figured, if I can't get out, the cops can't get in, so they can't write me up for sitting in a running vehicle with an open container in my own driveway. LOL
The one furthest east - median heading for the AL/FL border - is the hurricane.
That's right where we're headed! Plans are to exit the area Tuesday morning.

LOL!
I was staying on base at Tyndall when hurricane Irin (IIRC) came ashore. The damage was nothing like Michael in '17 but had enough force to collapse several beachside buildings, including the Salty Dog, which was my favorite hangout.
We had an F3 or F4 (depending who your reference) miss our home some months ago by only 300 yards—no way out for several days due to transmission lines over our only road made us glad we were preppers. The utility company had to bring in cranes to lift the lines so we could drive underneath to get in and out. We were without power for a week.
