Power went out around 2am, wind is ripping at times, got several pretty good limbs down that I can see with a flashlight, and we're starting to see some standing water. The eye is supposed to go directly over us around 5:30am.

Wasnt the year there were a few back to back in what seemed like a 4 week period. Ifrc they all hit sw fl and turned up the full length of the state for the lost part. Fun times.I lived in sw FL during the ‘04 hurricane season that included Charley. Charley was pretty freaky but the others were a rainy day off
Had a girlfriend whose family had a vacation home on myrtle beach for a while. Hugo left a toilet and the concrete slab. That one was a nasty one for sure. Almost as destructive an andrew across south fl.I went through Hugo c.88. Was a bit North in the Fayetteville area. And it was no joke. Being a Northern transplant just 3 months before… a bunch of us had a hurricane party.
Hugo cured me of that concept.
Charlotte (200 miles inland) was hammered. Saw that a few days later and holy hell.
Hurricanes are not to be messed with!
Hope all you SH folks are ok… guessing it’s mostly passed?
Sirhr

lol, I was in the same situation. 3 months after I moved to FL from the Midwest we get hit with a fucking cat 4 hurricane. As bad as it was for me, my mom about had a heart attack worrying about me.I went through Hugo c.88. Was a bit North in the Fayetteville area. And it was no joke.

Yeah, summer of ‘04 was a bitch. Thankfully it was only Charley that really fucked the area up.

Hugo was one of the few oddball ones to direct hit the Carolinas. Happens.Had a girlfriend whose family had a vacation home on myrtle beach for a while. Hugo left a toilet and the concrete slab. That one was a nasty one for sure. Almost as destructive an andrew across south fl.
Toured New Orleans one year AFTER Katrina…That city hasn’t been right since ... with this little history, you might see why we people of the middle Gulf don’t get terribly worked up over a cane
SW FL here. My first hurricane, Irma, was a direct hit to SWFL in 2017. We've had tropical storms between that and hurricane Ian, which was also a direct hit to us in SWFL in late Sept '22. And we've had tropical storms since Ian. With Ian we had no power for about 12 days. Most don't realize until they're without power how civilizing air-conditioning is.Wasnt the year there were a few back to back in what seemed like a 4 week period.

I might have a picture of that toilet.Had a girlfriend whose family had a vacation home on myrtle beach for a while. Hugo left a toilet and the concrete slab. That one was a nasty one for sure. Almost as destructive an andrew across south fl.
And there you have it. There's too much money in it for the unions to ever let that happen.hiden biden has and his mentor old mama have supposedly authorized billions for rebuilding America. Why heck, they even talk about how biden’s money has done wonders for spreading broadband internet in Louisiana. First I heard of it is when Louisiana got a top accolade for using the money wisely. Gotta love politics.
Getting to the POINT! Isn’t it time that we start moving the electrical grid underground? untold millions has been spent though the years repairing or plainly rebuilding power grids after Hurricanes, Tornados, Thunderstorms, Drunk Drivers, (yep run off the road hit and take out a power pole., it happens a bit too often in our environs.) Then lineman, have to go out in all kinds of weather, at all hours of the day and night, often far from home to try to put the darn thing back together.
I realize this might put lineman out of work, and while I can’t think of a better/worse thing, surely with the long term money being saved, something could be done/found for these men to do at equal or better pay and a safer job with more regular hours. Frankly, they deserve it.
Put Those Damn Lines Underground!

While all that sounds good, in reality this nation nor its people can afford it. Just look at the cost to run primary from a open transmission line underground to a single home. It sounds simple but I assure you nation wide is a pipe dream do to total cost. EP/D is not as simple as most think. There are times when the end user has to step up and provide for their own comfort & safety, vs always pointing fingers. Its interesting to see 100-500K$ homes with all the toys parked out front to be seen, yet they will not spend a penny on back up power. Whole house EPG is not black magic, plus its not cheap when done correctly either. Easy to justify a jet ski or new ride, vs a quality whole house backup genset.

The US is increasing debt at $1Trillion per 90 days.. that debt... Above what they actually take in taxes. Get in on the grift or get left behind.While all that sounds good, in reality this nation nor its people can afford it.

Safety & comfort sucks hind tit with most, vs fun, look at me shit.

So true. My home is the cheapest in this hood, but its mostly bullet proof as I have always taken safety & comfort over, look at me shit. In 4/2011 Alabama was ripped up by mother nature, while I was out working & helping others, put her back together my family was safe & comfortable while the rest of this hood was setting on their ass bitching about being w/o power. When I came home the second day many wanted to know, what about us, well its going to be 2-3 more days as 500Kv towers don't erect their selves. Why do you have power? Well because I don't own look at me shit, our safety & comfort come first. We're going to get one asap, but like always when the sky turned blue & the power came back, they did not do it. Well except a few new boats, motocycles, jet skies ect. I have lost all compassion for these fucks,...Does the childhood fable, 3 little pigs ring a bell.
Most people like to build their shit out of sticks and straw, not out of bricks.
Gas lines in the lake jackson/Freeport area are pretty long as well. Not all stations have power. Bucees in brazoria ran out of fuel yesterday afternoon. Have to get fuel today. Been through roughly 30 gallons so far. My welder/generator eats right at 1 gph. I think I'm going to be looking at diesel machines after this.Headed north from Houston this morning. Diboll, Texas was the first town I came to that had a gas station without a line out to the highway. That’s on the order of 175 mile away from landfall. Talked to a guy there from Corrigan 14 miles to the south and lost a bunch of trees. Crazy impact for a Cat 1.
Thank Him indeed. We lost power Monday morning around 2am.Currently at 41 hours without power. Thank God for the generator and a window mount A/C. Got the family camped out in the living room to stay cool.
I'm in Nacogdoches. Lots of areas in town and the surrounding towns are still without power. We had a small tornado touch down on the north side of town. Lots of trees down. I grew up in Kemah / Clear Lake Shores. It's been a long time since I've been through one of these. I forgot what it was like.Headed north from Houston this morning.
