Even without a landfall the Atlantic coast is going to get hammered.
You know, whenever someone from Florida/the SE wonders why I live in Iowa and deal with the cold, I just point to **** like this. Why would you want to deal with this a couple times a year?
I’ve always wondered are there “hurricane companies” that come to your house and board you all up and tie down all your crap? Kind of like the FL equivalent ofsnow removal people?
Five mph which apparently means it’s going to take a hard turn north. So I’ve read.
There isn't going to be anything left standing on that island - hours and hours and hours of 160-185 mph winds. Nothing was designed to withstand that kind of beating for that long.
6 months of winter is very difficult to ride out. It really really sucks
We keep our eyes to the sky too....
I lived in the Florida Keys and worked at a year-round camp/marine biology education center from March of 2004 to early June of 2007. During that time period of 3 years and 3 months or so, I (and all of camp, including campers during our summer seasons) had to evacuate the Keys no less than 4 times, and do some heavy preparation/battening down the hatches for hurricanes at least as many times. In fact, I can say with a straight face that I went through Hurricane Katrina, at least the outer bands of it, in its early stages as a Category 1 when it came across southern Florida before hitting the Gulf of Mexico and wiping out the Gulf Coast.
There were a lot of very nice aspects about living down there, and I still like to visit from time to time, but all of the damn hurricanes were one of the reasons why it was time for me to leave when I did.
