Bo Lynn's Market starts taking water in the town of Saint Marks as Hurricane Michael pushes the storm surge up the Wakulla and Saint Marks Rivers.
The St. Marks River in Florida had already started to overflow into the city on Wednesday morning prior to the hurricane making landfall.
Jayden Morgan carries his dog to safety through a flooded street in St. Marks as his family evacuates at the last minute before Hurricane Michael hits the state.
Emily Hindle lies on the floor at an evacuation shelter set up at Rutherford High School near Panama City Beach on Wednesday.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock Long, told President Trump in a briefing shortly before the eye of the storm hit that it was the 'worst kind' of hurricane.
You’ve never experienced a hurricane in central MA I assure you, nevertheless a Cat 4. Your an ignorant poster. Or just fucking dumb. McD’s sign knocked down?? Seriously you have issues.
Hurricnaces dont survive over land, they lose all their power. You really don’t know this. Central MA is as likely to get a hurricane as Kansas. A Northeaster doesn’t count buddy, those are harmless.
tell that to the people who were in the hurricane of 1938. research that one dumb ass. also hurricane carol and diane in 1954 and 1955 were as bad as this one. also take a look at the worcester tornado in 1953 just for laughs and giggles. you obviously have no knowledge of central ma. i do. i've been through all of those except the 38 one. i would think 98 deaths in the worcester tornado is a tad more damaging than the 1 paltry death this one caused because a tree fell on some poor guys tiny house. i know it wasn't a hurricane but it was a weather event far worse than this windstorm that lasted about 10 minutes there yesterday. most of the damage in florida were to buildings that probably needed to be razed anyway, shacks.
by the way the 1938 hurricane was a category 5. the most powerful one ever to strike the continental u.s. just research it instead of looking at those lame pictures of a hubcap rolling by and a some thin branches in the middle of the road. yes, a couple of roofs fell on cars but they should be insured. probably not though. wow, a canopy fell off a restaurant. maybe 45 minutes to put back up. devastating. the flooding while annoying is about 2 or 3" looking at those pics. when water reaches the top of those stop signs then maybe you have something.
Those hurricanes do look awful, so for that I apologize.
Reading up on them quick, I do believe most of the damage were in coastal communities where winds were the strongest. Flooding and major rain fall was mostly the issues in central MA. None of those Hurricanes stayed at Cat 4 or 5 by the time they reached that far inland. Not to mention 80 years ago I'm sure people didn't evacuate like they do today. If people stayed during these current hurricanes down south many more people would have died, like Katrina. But people have learned to not fuck with these storms and they're much better off leaving. I'm sure very few left New England during those storms back then which led to more deaths, especially since infrastructure was not nearly as good back then (roads/homes).
I over exaggerated central MA being immune to storms, but these people down south get hit with hurricanes multiple times a year and while most go by without too much damage, you shouldn't really down play an event where people die. But I do agree with you the sensationalized media ALWAYS takes it too far with their coverage.
Been trying to figure out for last 10 minute how to respond to this guy. I cant. This guy is a friggin moron. I have friends in the panhandle/Georgia area. Life sucks for them at the moment (it will eventually be ok).
Hurricanes suck
At best, we pray for no major damage to our properties and that we are all safe. It just sucks that we cannot use the things we take for granted (electricity, a/c, internet, phone, etc) for a bit
i'm sure your friends will find their lawn furniture in their neighbors yard and they can gut it out without power if they are without a generator which makes them not that bright. a few shingles on a roof are not a big deal. half a days work. so respond to that. at least i'm not moronic enough to live in florida.
Some homes in Mexico Beach were completely carried away by towering storm surges caused by the hurricane.
