This is what it looks like when a major storm crashes into a beach community. (apologies if this clip is redundant).

I was there not long ago. The town is all but destroyed.

My prayers for everyone impacted by the hurricane. Seeing those pictures reminds me of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Riding a hurricane out is something I never want to do again.

Some folks never learn from the past, Hudge and you always have those who think a State’s leadership is only crying wolf. Lots of that.

Then,,,of course, you have the “tuff guys “ who are going to stick it out.

As long as gasoline and diesel burns, folks need to get out of harms way. Sad when they don’t and even sadder when they can’t.

I'm surprised it's still there. Panama City, etc is nothing but sand bars.

Damn.......Used to go camp and fish a lot between St Andrews and Mexico Beach when I was a kid. Love that area.


Sounds like most of the folks west of there got off relativity easy?

I wonder if TLee is still in Florida. A year or so ago he was traveling north to avoid a hurricane and basically said he was getting too old to run for his life and was going to migrate to a daughters place or some such thing.

Haven't noticed a post from him for awhile. Maybe he's busy herding his cats... I think he was having some health issues like a lot of us. Don't know him but miss his posts and humor.

I, too, have wondered about Ole T. It would be good to hear from him here.

What a mess. I can't imagine dealing with that. I'm counting myself blessed today.

Most of those images are the aftermath. Imagine the storm surge that deposited the debris on top of the road and bridges and far inland. I know for Katrina, in one of the places that I fish, the storm surge was in excess of 18ft. I personally witnessed washing machines and debris in the tops of what trees remained, and on top of boat slips with really high roofs. It's hard to fathom looking up from the deck of my boat, and seeing debris that high up. It's surreal.


Wish them the best. It will be a years long recovery.

Sad situation. Our church is still working to help folks from the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Now we have Florence to deal with, in eastern N.C. and S.C. I’m not sure how we will get down there to help with Michael. I’m sure that we will at least send funds. Got hurricane fatigue around here right now. Living in the Carolinas is typically a pretty sweet deal. Right now.....not so much. Prayers for the fine folks in Florida.

I cant imagine homes blown awsy and 2 story motels and apts still left standing after 150 mph.

Here in flyover country, (Minnesota) we get some bad winter weather, but I'll take my chances with our cold and snow in stead of what these folks in Florida are going through. I'm a very lucky man to have not had to experience that first hand. Prayers and best wishes sent to all those impacted by this killer storm. Mother Nature can be a really nasty bitch when she wants to be.

Don't worry disaster relief teams from the entire northeast are rushing down there. All kidding aside, Prayers to all those people, I have been thru these things and they are beyond belief.
