This drove me crazy during Harvey.

Is there anything in Florida that ISN’T a low lying area? I mean, elevations here are measured in inches, not feet.

I grew up in West Virginia, where the concept of “head to higher ground” made an awful lot of sense. Higher ground to me means go to Austin......

America the Good is strong.
The friendship, camaraderie and smiles among all is heartwarming.

Yep. You have the ocean, the beach, the city, and then it’s all swamp.

“Is there anything in Florida that ISN’T a low lying area?”

LOL! I recall my niece teaching me to drive a stick shift in St. Pete. She said she was going to take me to “a hill” or “the hill” to practice. We got to there and I asked her how she could tell it was a hill. (It wasn’t.)

Wow! I never thought of that. Smart move! That’s going to suck up a lot of fuel.

All of the points you mention favor early assessment, recognition, and action.

Keeping one’s tank full is just common sense. So is keeping one’s important records easily transportable, and having window protection pre-cut and ready all the time. This is just another Ant vs Grasshopper pageant.

This nation is becoming a field of Grasshoppers.

Ok. We get it. We are all sinners in the hands of an angry God and dumb to boot.

Thanks for the reminder. You are doing good work here. If I ever die in a flood, earthquake, or fire my last thoughts will be, “That self righteous person on the internet was right.”

I feel so bad for all these folks. I read this thread last night & it literally brought tears to my eyes! I wish I could open my home to everyone who is trying to get out of danger. The one person that was looking for shelter for 4 adults & 4 cats broke my heart.
Praying for all !

If you’re ever at risk of dying in a flood, you’ll be one of those people putting first responders in harm’s way going to get someone who could have gotten his happy heinie to higher ground.

Yes I believe so. Rick Scott is the best of the best a role model for all other Governors.
