Say older, because, well am.
Your soil is not dry and water runoff will be huge issue.
Ive never been a first responder, but i was in New Orleans day after Katrina.
Was there to check on a customers data center and to verify water had not penetrated.
Also, my father was a Navy Botswain.
He spent 2 years on the ocean.
Served as a senior botswain on USS Galveston and USS Ticonderoga, the since scrapped ships.
My father is since dead, but he said to me before going to Louisiana.
Hold back. Do not go early.
He explained how the worst of the storm is outside your perimeter.
It is on the farside when coming from the west.
Worst is east side!
He also warned, under no circumstance get in front of the surge.
He explained, this storm energy you cannot comprehend and the water will be high.
He went through several hurricanes.
As a Navy Boat guy?
Hurricanes, during his time, meant, the sailors inside the hull, prayed to God, the Botswains did their duty topside.
Times have changed (doppler radar and Navy no longer runs thru storms) and the Navy no longer needs guys like my dad, but bad weather is still here.
2 things will leave you with.
Recently people have been reporting people tied to trees.
Damn right, they were tied to trees. Wasnt anything, but last survival attempt.
Water rises. You go to the top of your house.
Water keeps rising.
Smart cookies know that roof might not be tall enough, so they grab rope before going up there.
Why rope, because the human being knows in that crazy moment, they need rope.
Same as my father when a boat was going under and the rigging had to be perfect.
Wish my father was still alive. Would love to talk to him, because the path of this storm and the energy it has?
CRAZY, it is a person killer for sure.
Finally, Milton, is potentially the worst storm I have ever seen. Not because of wind, but because of water deluge.
