Tropical Weather

so, this boat was docked upright on the opposite bank of the bayou.

a funnel cloud passed over, flipped the boat, and tossed it across the bayou.

a dude rode that bitch while it was happening!

Wait...a guy stayed in his boat during a hurricane?

yep.
that’s actually not all that uncommon here.
moor that bitch as far up the Bayou as you can get permission. crank up the generator.
ride it out.

actually safer and in many cases more comfortable.

I've been through hurricanes a fair few times; none have affected me as much as tropical storm eta. It's dumped a foot of rain (on average) on south florida; the ponds have risen several feet, including the one behind my house. If it rises another foot, I'll have water in my house. I am going to sign off and start moving things upstairs.

Good luck buddy and prayers to you and your family!

Good luck down there. Hopefully the dumb thing moves back out over the Gulf and stays there.

I think it's moving too quickly to become a monster storm but it could be a strong Hurricane in a day or so...

Good luck @Nutriaitch

Ida is now a hurricane and made landfall on the Isle of Youth....still forecast to intensify rapidly in the GOM.

I'd get gas tonight if I were everyone. Prices are going to spike.

Stay safe, @Nutriaitch this sucker looks like it’s headed right at you.

welp, as of now, this one is about as “worst case scenario” as can be for my place.

a wobble one direction or the other could possibly lessen things But a Cat 4 hitting in that spot is going to be really bad for a large area.

Terrebonne Parish, Lafourche Parish, southern end of Plaquemines Parish are about to get wrecked.

Me, wife, and short kid are in Texas for this one.
Unfortunately my parents stayed home as did my older sister.
