Hurricane season 2024

You should go now, by the time it "starts to look bad" you may not be able to make it.

No way Jose. No one should ever get on the road during hurricane and even though the eye hasn't hit yet, the hurricane is hitting and is not safe to be on the road.

Where are you? How close to the coast?

We were just on the road because we had to feed the animals, it wasn't that bad then but now it's getting pretty windy

Okay.

And how high is the storm surge, Keeks?

Last 20. It's different everywhere so I'm not sure, but in the screenshots that I've been posting over the last hour the water has risen from that post on the right all the way to the left of the screen. I have no clue how many feet high that is but I'm guessing 5:00 or 10:00 at least.

I do not evacuate for hurricanes either.

I evacuated for 2, one being Katrina and I'm glad I did cause the place where we evacuated to ended up having water to about a foot from the peak of the roof. So I guess you could say we evacuated from where we evacuated to. It was horrible there's a good chance we would not have made it if I didn't decide it wasn't good enough

Our elevation at our home is 20'

Okay.

I'm not sure but I know when they hype up storm surge issues when we get hurricanes here I don't have to worry about it but I'm 30 miles away from the coast.
Again, I'm not sure, but I think unless you're right along the coast like a mile or two then storm surge may not be an issue. I'm not sure how that works though.
