Not sure what a 15 foot storm surge looks like? Here's a video from two years ago.

Anecdotally, my grandmother's sister and her husband decided to ride out this very storm. Their condo took a full year of work to be habitable again, as nearly everything was a total loss. They were on the third floor (what some countries call second floor).

Hurricanes are serious. When you're told to evacuate, listen. If you don't you may end up dead.

waiting on news of five lives. we are terrified of bad news

@jhpratt @Gdac what makes things even less predictable, and something that somewhat blew my mind (hehe) in this video, is that over time the wind direction changed by what looks like around 120⁰

@jhpratt Wow. I’d forgotten that there would be waves driven by the hurricane winds.

@jhpratt How much of Florida is more than 15 feet above sea level?
