Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Major hurricane Ian

Forecast is getting a little better for me but if it slowly drifts right up the mouth of Tampa Bay it will do catastrophic damage with storm surge. It’s a slow moving hurricane so that will destroy a lot more also. Hour upon hour of water and wind battering structures and trees will weaken and destroy what would survive a faster moving hurricane. The track has drifted east enough to put my house on the “good” side of the hurricane. I’m still projected to get 6”-10” of rain and possibly 50mph winds. I’m betting on 30ish mph winds. If you live in the impact area and aren’t in an elevated modern home I’d get the f**k out ! 10’+ of pounding water for hours will kill a lot of people who stay. If I lived anywhere along the projected impact area from two days ago I’d have already buttoned up the house , grabbed documents and irreplaceable items and have left already. Your community isn’t going to be reasonably livable for a long time. A hotel with AC and hot water will be paradise compared to your home and community. Go relax. This is what insurance is for.
