Jesus, looking at the radar, they are just now in the eye, they have got a whole second wallop coming. Does much storm surge drain in the eye? I'm guessing not because the other end of the eye is continuing to push it forward.

A black coupe just casually drove by JeffP, almost as if to wonder what he was doing on a bridge filming a crane when it had just driven under said crane and onto said bridge. Everyone has lost their drat minds and it is beautiful.

They actually dropped a drone out of the plane on that flight. Sadly no drones are going to be able to collect the kind of data you get flying through a hurricane.

Jeff is the best storm chase streamer but has the worst equipment. I gave up earlier because it kept dying, but he's in a great spot now.

He takes more risks than anyone else and has the craziest personality.

jeff grinning out his car window in the eyewall of a cat 4 hurricane side by side on my monitor with houses literally floating out to sea a few miles away - it's the perfect illustration of why you don't really need to worry about winds that much if you want to ride out a storm, but should never ever gently caress around with storm surge.

also, these streams are bringing back memories. i've lived in coastal FL all my life, except for a few college years. my parents never evacuate for storms, and i remember when i was 15 or 16 and had just gotten my driving permit, a storm came through and a mandatory evac was ordered for our area. of course we stayed, and they took me out driving while the roads were empty.

it wasn't as bad as the jeff stream, i think we only ended up getting tropical storm conditions from it and not a direct hit, but the roads were empty and it was blowing like crazy with tree limbs and down in the road and stuff. don't think i had to drive over any power lines at least. can't remember the storm, might've been Floyd?

Could have been Floyd. We had just moved to Florida that summer and we evacuated up to Pensacola. My parents hadn't gotten shutters for the house yet, but it was a strong Cat 4 and it was forecast to hit us dead on. I remember leaving the house and we had our dog, a lot of photo albums, the important documents folder, and some of our toys in the car. My parents told me they lingered for a bit, not knowing whether they would come back to a house or just the foundation. It was definitely a scary time, but thankfully it missed us. I rode out Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma though and that was enough for me.
