One of my neighbors that splits between living here and in FL just found out her house in FL has 5 feet of water in it. She has no insurance because she said they wanted $10k for flood insurance. Just helped her get a flight back there so she can see what might be salvageable.

It's a Cat4 now, nearly Cat5. 100,000+ without power. Storm surge predicted at 9 feet in Lake Charles (so it'll flood your second floor apartment), possibly 20 feet in Cameron near the coast, plus there's all the sewerage and wildlife in the water. Horribly dangerous. My brother's place was on 4 foot pillars, so it's certainly gonna be gone. (He's in FL and safe) This is gonna be extraordinarily bad.
glad for that
hopefully he'll get lucky with his home

Poor Mexico Beach. And the oyster industry.
Mexico Beach was where one of those
HGTV Dream Home giveaway homes was. Hope they kept their insurance up because it's right on the water.

Yep, my favorite region for oysters. I am from Charleston, but prefer Apalachicola.

Those are a lot of the folks who drown in flash floods or get their cars washed away in overflowing streams and rivers. That happened in NC to some extent a few weeks ago. Still, this storm is at Category 4 - I wouldn't have been sticking around.
if a person is at risk
that person should have a plan, especially if responsible for other people
preferably with more than one option
they're easy to find online
