Is anyone else in the cone for Isaac? I'm seeing now that we're under a hurricane warning and can expect hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours. I'm in Mobile, AL.
I live in south Florida, and it's been non stop raining all day long..the streets are flooding here. I hope once it gets to you it's slowed down, and not as bad!!
I've went through hurricane Ike in Texas. @YNVTish its like a reallllly bad thunder storm. Much higher winds, which is where a lot of the damage comes from. Almost non stop rain, except during the eye (center of storm).. that's also a really nice calm time. Lol
It can be intense, evacuation is ideal, most times mandatory.
@Ericak22 glad its not doing too much damage for ya'll! Houses aren't getting flooded are they?
@redshadoe0 Yup.. we're pretty much getting the same news. If it makes a direct hit for either of us, tho, we'll still both be affected. Ya'll stay safe!
@ynvtish most of the time there not much to worry about if you prepare and have a plan.. mostly just lots of rain and strong winds. Usually, you lose power, and obviously you shouldn't be going outside. Depending on where you are, you could get flooding from storm surge. And tornadoes are common, too.
I'm kinda freaking out because this is my first storm since moving out of my mom's, I have an 11 month old to worry about.. and I'm 37 weeks pregnant, lol.
@caroline8_p ike destroyed alot of my moms house we had to repair like crazy
Please prepare big time guys. Especially with babies shop for everything that will necessary for them. It was dreadful for us no light for three weeks let alone being with a baby! Stock up ladies on milk on diapers on food on water get everything
Were still in the cone... And now were on the north east side of the storm which.is the side that causes the most destruction bc its throwin all kinds of water and wind at us.
@lucyloo288@salasmommy we were in Texas city 4 blocks from the Dike. We (TX city) hot the least damage and floods cause they have a great levy system. We did have to repair the roof, thhe fence between us and the neighbor & pick up all the branches. Plus no election for a week, we took our bed outside and slept on the back porch. We woke up to a squirrel yelling at us. Lol
Ohhhh, but.. there was a house on stilts over the water, it was GONE!! Their things were ALL OVER the place.
Hope you're ok. My friends are in Tampa and they just all moved from pa...I keep seeing posts about the weather. They even closed my friends daughters daycare. We usually get the end of the hurricanes up here, pa doesn't get extreme weather, well at least where I am. Praying for you down there, be safe:)
Just went to the beach to check it out... the beach is gone already. The water is up about 5 feet already they said, and that's without high tide. And there are WAVES right now!!!!!! We NEVER get waves!!!!! I took videos but I have no idea how to post them. Pretty cool.
