I visited a friend's aunt in Jacksonville over the summer and she was telling us about how she rode one of the big ones out in the past (mind you, she lives in the hood). She was telling us about just being posted up in her easy chair with her power out and her .45 at her side. What a badass. I'd be getting the hell out of town.
Hey, it's like I have a twin. I'm over 70 and have one good eye. Well, it's not really good but it's almost adequate.
I've lived through a hurricane and I'll never go through another, God willing and the creek don't rise.
It's on my bucket list to be in the eye of a major. I'll regret never doing it if I don't.
I've gone through it once but never again. Take my word for it, it's not worth it.
I have an infatuation with hurricanes. They've fascinated me since I was 7 years old. I tracked every storm in 2005 on a map at the age of 9. I've always wanted to. Ideally, it'd be in a high rise parking garage.
I've had so much laser surgery in my left eye and botched cataract surgery that I've probably got somewhere around 2% vision in that eye. My other eye ain't too great. I've gone under the knife in the left eye about three times and it never got any better only worse. One time the technician accidentally gave me contact lens cleaner rather than proper eye drops. That hurt so much that I literally cried. It didn't hurt at first. It started hurting on my way home. Had to retrieve the doctor and get back to the hospital pronto. By that time I was begging for relief.
Glad to hear man.
That was a nasty storm. Glad to hear that you and other members families made it through. Now for the rebuilding.
There's still some that are missing I believe
Your family is really lucky
You're right, it bumped up to 11 overnight apparently.
5 recently died in Virginia.
