Hurricane Advice

Those houses look very big, and very expensive. I can't even imagine the size of the insurance bills on this event. Looking at that area, even if your house were up higher and didn't get directly affected inside, the area will stink from all of the water around and about.

And barely any of these people have flood insurance.
Can you imagine.

Here are two that I could find quick.

First photo is from the Town Hill Overlook - the spot in the very middle right before the big shadow is my place. The mountain taking up the back is Sideling Hill.

Turning just a little towards the left is the Sideling Hill Mtn Cut - famous for it's syncline fold. The mountain showing on the other side of the cut is (I believe) the northern end of Cacapon Mtn in WV. From my house it's viewable across my road. The road going through the cut is Interstate #68.

When and if it ever dries up here, I'll get some better pics from the front yard.

You can see Town Hill from the back yard. Again, weather needs to improve to take any.

Awesome views!

"Yes, I remember not being as shocked by it happening in Louisiana as I have been about it "getting" Texas. (mind you, I don't know much about any of the involved locations)"



Coastal plains are pretty flat; the rivers on them tend to meander around a lot, with relatively shallow courses and sluggish currents. Dump a lot of water in a watershed like that, and it doesn't take much to push the river out of its banks and into the surrounding communities and countryside. It can then takes weeks for all of that water to drain away, as it did when North Carolina got hit by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. (I'm trying to remember the year and system that flooded large parts of inland Georgia, but my memory fails me . . . .) A slow-moving tropical system could do similar things throughout most of the Gulf states and the more southern Atlantic states, due to similar geography.

Can you imagine.

Alligators, snakes, fire ants, mosquitoes... lots of unfriendly critters down there. Good thing you don't have piranha swimming around.

WOW!
It's so neat to see what they show on the national news...We don't see this stuff here on our news.

the weather says irma will touch us, luckily only a side of the storm and not the eye or anything more than that. i doubt it will be anything serious or at least i hope it wont be. i think the chickens will be inside for that day lol. i just hope the power doesnt go out for a long period of time. the power system here seems to $uck.

youd think they would try to warn the people who are returning home to be warry of a possible alligator being inside your house or yard or something.
