User ID: 78336652 United States 09/28/2022 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mila, my best friend, is in Orlando at the Disney Resort. Worried about her. Quoting: Lady Jane Smith She's far enough inland that she should be fine. Best I've been through is a CAT 3, but yes, even a CAT 1 can be fatal. Florence was a CAT 1 I was in SC for and it stalled, flooding everything. Only time I've ever had to conduct a water rescue. I actually had clearance to go down and stage for Katrina, but I couldn't fit it into my work schedule. That would have been an amazing thing to have been a part of. Don't know if I'll be able to get one worked in this year or not. This is going to destroy my Winter house. I am super concerned for my friends that chose to stay there through this Sorry, SC. Hopefully your friends and house will be fine! |

Don't know if I'll be able to get one worked in this year or not. Texting back n forth with her. She is on 8th floor of one of the Disney resorts. Told her the biggest worry is flooding, and maybe a tornado there. Of course, she is extra worried because her little girl is with her, and this is not weather Canadians are accustomed to. Right now Orlando is in the NE quadrant of the storm, which is where tornadoes usually form in hurricanes. Any that form will approach from the SE, so if her room is on the north or west side of her building, she should be mostly safe except from breaking glass. Tell her to close all her curtains to protect from that. She currently has about 24 to 36 hours before the worst of the storm hits Orlando.

Lots of it is under water. They don't know how badly the infrastructure has been damaged, and can't check anything until the storm passes (it's half time). Looting has started, they said it will be zero tolerance for it, but it's floriduh, so who knows. curfew at 6pm and stay home cause the west side of the storm is coming. My house has so far survived with zero damage! I hope all the other floridians here are OK! Oh, and F*ck Putin A whole new level of fuckery |
