A bit more inland. 15-20 minute drive from the beach. Almost halfway to the Everglades. We have 7 palm trees. Had them trimmed to get the coconuts down. Cost me over 1,000 bucks. Damn.
You're not leveraging your local resources properly. Methheads would have climbed up there like squirrels for $20 a tree.
So I had to do some research on this one. That was the original video where he said "It's just wind and water". Found one more video where he is totally non-plussed as well. If you look at how bad it looked in Fort Myers after the hurricane... https://people.com/human-interest/people-remain-missing-fort-myers-hurricane-ian-sheriff/ It would make you wonder how the guy could possibly have survived. But then I saw this: Happy Ending!
At CAT 1 Nicole was certainly much smaller than Ian but still people shouldn’t take chances. Hurricane categories are based on wind speed but that doesn’t factor how much rain these could pack. Also a November hurricane doesn’t bode well for the future. Like out west where we’re seeing. Wildfire season extend the same thing could be happening with Hurricane season on the east coast.
+1. Hurricane Ike was a Cat 2 but it was MASSIVE and pushed a ****ton of water ashore. My house in Galveston got 4 feet and the entire island looked like it was nuked. I remember reading that rivers were flowing backwards all the way past Huntsville.
4 people dead and a lot of structural damage in FL from Nicole even though it hit at less than hurricane strength. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/11/us/hurricane-nicole-florida-friday/index.html
