Some FReepers pooh-hooed this storm.
Big mistake.
When Mo’ Nature wraps up this much latent power in a system like this and hurls it at us, the likelihood that somewhere some of us will die, and many others will be harmed, is quite high.
pooh-hooed?
What does that mean?
The ones that stayed behind poo pooed it.
And there are probably still holier-than-thou scoffers who sneer that this was just another over hyped hurricane that was really no big deal.
Because they never have to live through it.

We are all immunized by the media.
They always blow up any little problem and make mountains out of molehills.
Then, were the real thing happens, people tend to ignore the warnings.
The same way as we tend to ignore the pages of idiotic warnings in the front of any operational manual. But, somewhere in those pages, there may be hidden something we really should read.
Helene was MORE DANGEROUS and DESTRUCTIVE AFTER it left Florida!!
The warning of a deadly storm was hundreds of miles off. The results of the media on this is that thousands believe they can survive a category four hurricane and many died because they were not warned in time.
Yep - the ignorant always discount danger.
It was expected to reach CAT2, and just 6 hours or so before landfall, it was still CAT1 - then it surged to a CAT4...
With anything in the Gulf, you don’t dare blink or you may be in mortal danger...
