Storm surge at sea level is scary. This was our beach in Jax during Hurricane Matthew. 1st, 2nd and 3rd streets became part of the ocean.

whoa
that place it too close to sea level

I personally would not ever feel safe at anything less than 300-400 feet above the oceans incase of giant wave or giant storm or massive glacier melt

Is that Jax Carolina or Jax Florida?

That's Jax Florida. Hurricane Irma did the same thing to us. I know what the Carolinas are in for and feel for them.

It was downgraded again, so now it's a cat 1. Unfortunately they are saying that it's likely people 100-150 miles inland will most likely need to be rescued in the next few days due to flooding.

It's just a fact.
We set up shop before hurricane season, and when the storm comes we make big moves.
In 2 weeks when recovery is about done, a new false flag chemical attack, big retaliation, and news portraying victims/back to war.

Not trying to derail, but hurricanes are rarely massive life-taking events.
5-4-3-2-hit the coast 1-tropical storm, some flooding, power outages, trees down, a few people boating down the street, then all's well in America.
Body count, hell, probably better than normal due to heightened caution and community bonding.

Im already tired of hearing about people being rescued. You had enough warning to get the fuck out, now you risk other peoples live due to your own ignorance. I say let them drown.

Edit: i say this as someone who still went to school after being struck by lightning because i like playing in storms. I didnt cry about it. I just moved on.

Lot of water already coming down and saturating everything down there. Tons of trees down at my sister-in-law's place.

Even though it's closer to the ocean and the sound, it's higher ground than New Bern which is all over the news so it's not tooooo bad yet.

Hoping the best for everyone involved...

Although I do love the news reporters who feel it's necessary to report outside in this shit. ABC just had a dude getting pelted with rain and the wind was blowing so hard he could barely stand up - and because of the wind and the rain you couldn't hear a thing he was saying. He's basically just a human guinea pig jumping through hoops in extreme weather.

If you are going to throw people out there for our entertainment, take it a step further. Put two guys out there and have them try to toss a baseball back and forth. Or set up a football jugs and fly some footballs at his face. If you want to entertain me - entertain me, bitch.

Dude- this comes across pretty callous. Hurricanes are typically not massive life taking events due to the massive effort to evacuate the most at risk areas. There will be billions of dollars of damage with hundreds of homes lost due to surge and flooding. There is already 10+ feet of surge in some coastal towns- many of which will never be the same. Just because the media moves on to the next story in a week or so does not mean that it is back to life as usual in 2 weeks where the storm hit.

This is my brother's mother in law's house which is directly across from my parent's house (which is a bit further away from the sound)
