No disrespect...i bet you’re a great person but those of us who have lived through big storms....Camille in my case...thought this one was overblown to begin with

I also lived Andrew sorta...I was stranded overseas while my wife and kids ride it out off Old Cutler in South Miami....that was worse than being in Cammile’s eye...for me nerves wise

But I do hope you don’t suffer power and water issues that can be awful...hot like this

Overblown is in the eye of the beholder. Camille was only as bad as where you were when it hit, and it was bad. This one was no Camille but it is going up the entire eastern seaboard with the dirty side. Camille didn’t cover such a large area with storm surge. A hurricane hitting the Gulf coast west to east like this would cause enormous damage even at cat 1

I think you’re really replying to the wrong person.

I’m the one who made the comment about the “my hurricane was bigger than yours” and that was what sageb1 was commenting about.

It really doesn’t matter who are what others have been through when others are going through something different - unless you are offering information on how to make getting through one easier or help in cleaning up afterward. Taht was what my comment was referring to..

I was one of the lucky ones today, I only put up with 23 hours of wind and rain and don’t believe I have any damage, but won’t know until after daybreak, but others weren’t quite so lucky and still others are still dealing with it.

When it’s over the one upmanship is fine, but not when people are still in the middle of it.
