Fox was just saying they're telling people to get to the third floor of a building. That may get them thru the storm, but what about the aftermath?

What with storm surge, surely third floor wouldn't be nearly high enough, would it? And much higher than that...I'd thing you'd risk being in a building that gets knocked down.

And being trapped somewhere after a hurricane, with no water or power or food...that sounds like one of the worst nightmares imaginable.

Seems like the flooding is what's really going to be horrible. How exactly will water recede from a place like that? It doesn't!

Fox is talking about that now. Telling people if they are in the higher buildings to stay away from the windows.

Reporter interviewed a couple of the street. They're from Cincinatti. Delta cancelled their flight and they can't get a rental car. They're stuck.
