It was measured so close to Andrew ...2 dead so farWow. I hope everyone evacuated. That looks like Andrew all over again.![]()
just scraped off the planet !!It’s absolutely devastating. Homes just vanished.
Some of those buildings still standing I could see by the roofing materials and the design of the building that they were built within the last 10 - 15 yrs ago which made them Fla approved for design pressure and Impact ...which is actually pretty impressiveJust awful.<mumbles something about concrete houses>



That was my concern. Old Fl...pre-Andrew building codes. Those buildings were demolished just like Andrew. There was a reporter speaking of how he was in my area for Irma (which was an angry bitch) but our structures held because of the strict building codes...he had the same concern about the Panhandle. One thing is for sure, they’ll have those building codes now.Some of those buildings still standing I could see by the roofing materials and the design of the building that they were built within the last 10 - 15 yrs ago which made them Fla approved for design pressure and Impact ...which is actually pretty impressive
But so many home's that are 30 yrs + old haven't got a chance with storms like these ...there massive and powerful !
I do apologies for posting horrific events like this but These storms we have just hit me deep in the gut !!...I've been through a couple and I've been there after and volunteered .Scary.![]()
It’s up to 11 nowIt was measured so close to Andrew ...2 dead so far
Horrific !!
I get it. I didn’t post stuff either because I didn’t want to depress our Jeeples. Thanks for sharing-I’m glad you did.I do apologies for posting horrific events like this but These storms we have just hit me deep in the gut !!...I've been through a couple and I've been there after and volunteered .
There are people that live in the panhandle that don't have a clue to what just happened , There numb from Trauma but in the next day or two Reality will awake in them and they will realize they have lost everything they own and have nowhere to go !
Yep. I think it’s on our radar more because we have to live with this possibility.just scraped off the planet !!
Yup. I was mad at first, buuuuut baby wipes work wonders & I would’ve been straight up angry & pissed if it happened in Vida. Perspective! This thing gets returned tomorrow! Baby girl was so upset she was crying, so that toned things down, too. I’ve still been asking her if she smells poop though.Omg! :cwl::cwl::cwl:


It's Government law now for all Fla building codes .That was my concern. Old Fl...pre-Andrew building codes. Those buildings were demolished just like Andrew. There was a reporter speaking of how he was in my area for Irma (which was an angry bitch) but our structures held because of the strict building codes...he had the same concern about the Panhandle.

Me too, Dan.It's Government law now for all Fla building codes .
Irma wasn't even close to this and she was a mean bitch !!!...could have a lot worse !!!
Andrew was still the largest and most powerful I have ever seen so far
these get to me deep inside now and I feel for those affected !!
I may joke about Cat 2's but those can be just as epic !No need to apologize Dan, it’s a horrible thing to go through and even though you’re not affected, you feel for your fellow Floridians. I’ve been through a category 2 storm on the gulf coast, and that was traumatic enough. I can’t image what these people are going through.
