How is everybody doing down south? (Page 1/8) williegoat SEP 27, 06:39 PM Tampa/St Pete, Tallahassee, Atlanta? randye SEP 28, 02:11 AM quote Originally posted by williegoat: Tampa/St Pete, Tallahassee, Atlanta? Doing Ok. Power went down about 6 PM yesterday and was just restored about 1 hour ago, so that was fast and saved me a some money on more generator fuel.. No property damage other than the usual tree limbs, trash, etc. My younger brother's house didn't fare so well. He's on the beach and received approx. 5 ft. of storm surge in his 1st floor level. He also left his Prevost coach parked beside his house for some unknown reason and it is now a flooded total loss. Just another week in Paradise. Raydar SEP 28, 09:12 AM West GA. We dodged the bullet. During the storm we got about two inches of rain. A few gusts, but no damage to speak of. South GA, especially Valdosta, got hit hard. There were over 100 buildings damaged, there. Some with people inside. Just saw this, this morning. Western NC and East TN are devastated. https://www.facebook.com/ph...cb.10233764720166098 cliffw SEP 28, 09:44 AM My Niece lives in Sarasota Florida, on the Gulf Coast just south of Tampa, St Pete. Her whole immediate family were freaking out and she just said "it will be alright". My Dad lives in Lake City Florida, 60 miles west of Jacksonville. He just yawned also. randye SEP 28, 09:45 PM quote Originally posted by Raydar: Just saw this, this morning. Western NC and East TN are devastated. This was a very BIG storm. The eye passed us in the Gulf over 100 miles off the coast, (Tampa area) and the wind, rain and storm surge, (TS level), was a lot bigger then we've seen in decades. NO, I am not buying into the "climut chunge" lunacy. We've had bigger storms before. ray b SEP 29, 01:57 PM quote Originally posted by randye: This was a very BIG storm.

RayB: Your false God hates you, your RWNJs lie. you sure do not like the truth if randye did not attack the cause of the intense more frequent higher end storms or allude to big bills to flood ins in a Gop public socialize the loss but private profits and maybe a fancy camper too in the mix he could post in reg non political but needed to attack ''NO, I am not buying into the "climut chunge" lunacy. We've had bigger storms before.'' with the recorded water levels saying NOT TRUE setting new records all along the coast but the trolls for the rump never note other trolls BS cliffw SEP 30, 07:54 PM The devastation further north is horrific.
