What about hurricanes?. He said the locals assured him hurricanes never hit that area. Something about the configuration of the shoreline, they said. Within the next six weeks they got direct hits with hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. They were without power for about a month. After they got things cleaned up and repaired, they put the house on the market and my brother took a job in Monticello, Minnesota. The guys where he worked said he was nuts. Why Minnesota? "I told them I can always shovel snow. But I can't shovel wind", he told me.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FACTS!

Riding out a hurricane is exhausting. I live right on the coast so stayed with some friends 40km away in their brand new house, thinking it would be safer. The Cat 5 (we call them cyclones in Australia) hit my town - Yeppoon - dead on & my friends ended up with more damage to their house from trees than I received. We were glued to the windows until the Eye hit then went out to check on things & when we came back in as the reverse winds hit, all of us were so exhausted we went to sleep & snoozed through the rest of it. I’m glad I took my dog & I to our friend’s though, as even though my house was ok, it would have been absolutely terrifying in my old wooden house. And my dog was much happier hanging out with his best furry friend in the bathroom during the cyclone. They were so good. Didn’t let out a single woof & were very calm, even when branches struck the roof. They knew we would keep them as safe as possible. Hope everyone affected in the US stays safe & they get power, water & sewerage working as fast as possible! The aftermath of no services, limited food etc is a pain in the butt, but we did find that most people were wonderful to each other during that time. Very quick to help.

When the power goes out and the storm is over and he has to go to get supplies or check on people he's going to experience the workout of his life going up and down those stairs. Also what most people don't realize although the view in a high-rise apartment building or condo looks really nice one of the things you have to always remember about is the wind speeds pick up the higher you go off the ground. And especially if you have buildings that are relatively close to each other facing the same direction you have to deal with the Monroe effect., where wind speeds increase as they funnel between building locations and this storm already going to have 155 forecast as maximum wind speed. If that holds to form any loose glass , gravel or concrete is going to feel like being shot at with a shotgun full of Buckshot at close range

I’ll give him this: It takes guts to do something foolish (like stay behind during a hurricane evacuation order) and then own up to it on national TV. I hope he is okay, and I hope others watch this and learn to evacuate when the experts say it’s time to go.

I've been thinking a lot about all the people who have lost their lives in Hurricane Ian and all the damage that it did to Florida and South Carolina. After watching many of the interviews with people who made it through the storm surge and hurricane-force winds, it struck me that many of the people, who stayed because they had been through other smaller hurricanes in the past, didn't seem to have a fundamental understanding of the difference between a category 1 hurricane and a category 4 hurricane even though they had been warned that it was on its way several days in advance. The critical information they needed to know in advance is that hurricane wind force increases exponentially, not linearly. A Category 5 hurricane, for example, is 500 times more powerful than a Category 1. How does this relate to property damage? Compared to Category 1, a Category 2 hurricane can generate seven times the amount of damage, while a Category 5 storm can generate 144 times the amount of destruction. If they had understood this, they would have left before the storm arrived and it would have saved many lives. Science education is extremely valuable and saves lives.

They didn’t have a lot of notice to leave as Ian was projected to land north of them. Once it’s as close as it was when they were told to leave it’s almost impossible to get anywhere that would be safe.

I put everything in my garage or house, make sure I have water, food and propane and hunker down. Unless I left the week before it was going to hit it’s unlikely that I would have a safer place than my home.

Hurricanes in Florida?No way! Did they predict water would be wet too?

Remember when Limbaugh told his listeners to ride it out, then got himself out of harm’s way before it was too late to evacuate?

I was born in Florida but I grew up in texas. I used to be in a band, when we toured the country I learned that there are several places where I can’t see why anyone would ever want to live, Florida and texass are both tied for first place in that particular category. Disgusting politics and absolutely horrible weather all year around. At least every 2 years both of those states seem to have another “once in a 100 year” storm… you do the math, lol. That reminds me, education in those states is awful too. Best thing I ever did was move away from both of those places. Good luck Flo-Ridas

I'm in Tucson Arizona. I used to hear stories from the Native American Indians of all Florida and California will be covered by water and that Arizona will be the new California. Climate change is no joke if we don't take care of our mother earth and the environment it can destroy. You cannot fight with their nature. That includes Mr stupid head that said he using a pen to try to change the direction of a hurricane. I am amazed at some people's thinking.

Dad’s house on the east coast and just 7 miles north of the Irma and Maria entry into Puerto Rico held up. We had to hold the French doors for hours not to let the storms in the house. All the doors and windows held, German made and able to withstand Cat 5+ However, the facade of the top deck was ripped off, concrete everywhere! I was 58 and dad 81, a total miracle we survived, but it was the safest spot for us, at the time. Will we do it again, MAYBE!? Sending prayers to Florida

That's the kicker. He's not a true Floridian. It's impossible for everyone to run during every hurricane. Whether it be for reasons of: money, transportation, job or health reasons. Especially since hurricane paths are so unpredictable. After 50 years here you learn what certain areas can withstand. And on any beach, as he is, is not a recommended place to set up a home (no matter what the realtor or builder tell you) Sorry, just saying. I've been in the house my dad lived in and now with my husband passed my daughter and her family live here. The flooding has never come past the sidewalk by the mailbox at the driveway. We live 5 miles from the beach and 2 from a pretty big lake. But my son in law still puts up the shutters my husband fit the house with over the new windows they just put in last year.

I have been in Naples Florida along time, don’t plan on leaving. But I don’t live on the beach. But in our defense the storm did turn our way . But that was later on Tuesday , I was working just a lot of rain but too late to leave for sure. Going back tomorrow to finish the job. We know how to deal afterwards, but always help your neighbors. But if I lived by the beach I would have at least went to a hotel inland. Crazy to stay after that much rain before it actually got here. But we’ll rebuild again, hopefully smarter this time.

Stay safe 🙏 God bless everyone down there. I have a niece cousin and other Family in Florida. Many prayers coming your way.

When Hurricane Andrew hit Miami, I was living on the tenth floor of a high-rise building. When the power went out, and it stayed out for a week, I swore I would NEVER live anywhere with stairs. That guy Larry Welk, well, his legs are going to toughen up.

Having ridden out Hurricane Hugo in '89, it's not something I would do again. Although it was quite interesting, and makes for a good story now.

I rode out hurricane Sally in 2020 with winds about 110mph. It was supposed to be a tropical storm and only coastal residents evacuated. It was WILD. Every home in my subdivision lost their roof and fence. Most lost shutters and other pieces from their homes. I never lost any windows, doors, trees, landscaping, or my eaves. The entire subdivision was covered in shingles and it took weeks to clean the mess....neighbor helping neighbor. Every roof was tarped and another hurricane went through about 2 weeks later, No internet for 3 weeks, no water for 5 days and no electric for about 2 weeks. I lost all ref. and freezer and was living like a pioneer.

I rode one out in Savannah, GA, as a manager of a hotel. Wasn't pretty and unlike the others at the Hurricane Party, I had to stay sober.

Years ago I was offered a job in Fort Meyers and am so glad I decided not to move there

Its 155 MPH SUSTAINED WINDS, with about 200+ gusts. A 172MPH gust took down Turkey Point Nuclear Power plant’s west cooling tower during Hurricane Andrew.

Yeah, those reinforced stairwells are a lot of fun when they become geysers. I lived in Florida many years and have a ton of family friends still there. I can't begin to tell how many "Never agains" I've heard.

At least we know that since Florida has such a flush budget they will not require federal assistance. If they can charter planes to fly Texas immigrants around the country they will be fine. I hope they pay for the hotels for the evacuees

im an Ex-Californian, plenty of federal aid goes to that state... The fires, the flooding that left the city of Guernville under water. i worked for the utility department in a nearby city and a FEMA representative came over and spoke with our general manager and basically said "how much money do you need". This was when Trump was president, so dont act like this should be some partisan political thing, its not, its a United States thing.

Sometimes, people have to learn the hard way. As long as they come out alive, that's the important thing.

Most of the people on the east coast thought or were told it was going to die down and drop to cat 2/3, only to get warned a few hours prior it was still chugging through at cat 4. So many people just stayed in place for fear of being caught out in it. I was 7 when we rode out Andrew in Homestead and I don't wish that on anyone.

Goodluck to all of you that stayed Hopefuly you found solid shelter because its too late to move now

Agreed. Im in Fort myers. I will never again stay behind. Its not a good idea, however its not always financially possible based on your family dynamic.

I lived in Naples in 1960 when the eye of Hurricane Donna came right over Naples. The eye was balmy, light winds , blue sky with scudding clouds... then it passed , and the storm struck again. The ocean swept right through the Naples Beach Club and Golf Course , but what flooding we had was nothing like what we're seeing today .We had National Guard almost immediately to prevent looting, and make sure neighborhoods were safe. This type of hurricane is only a taste is what's coming in the next years; so, I don't think Florida will be the retirement haven it used to be.

Us natives will not mind that one bit. Then we may still have water worth drinking, sucks for this stuff to happen but these crazy building fools think they can defy basic natural laws and have gotten a hard lesson. I will not miss the eyesore of condos on the beaches. It was a mistake to build the way they did on the beach fronts knowing that they were barrier islands for a reason. I lived through many hurricanes in Florida and this was a mess waiting to happen. Sad that it did.

This storm is almost as bad for Florida as Ron Desantis is.

The problem is that we live in Florida preparing for one hurricane behind the other for years, and it looks to us that nothing is really happening to us. So we get exhausted of being ready and terrified and the hurricane at last moment goes away. Until one day we get hit and cought no ready!

Because Florida has so many hurricanes…. most Floridians think they can ride most of them. And the fact, that a hurricane changes path so many times, this could of taken any turn..who knows and hit Alabama which was a possibility. Living in Bradenton, we were set for the direct path of Ian two days before it happened when two days before that it was going to be a category 3 hitting the panhandle area. (4 hours away) This hurricane literally changed path every day. Fortunately the day before, it headed an hour south of us, and we probably had cat 3-4 winds. We were spared for sure, with really just trees fallen everywhere and no flooding really. But I agree, anyone living on the beach or island itself when a hurricane is approaching whatsoever should always evacuate.
