Raoul, have you ever seen one like this

It better not come to TX. I have 4 contractor bids starting at $93K plus for work on my downstairs from Harvey.

FEMA adjuster will not be at home until sometime next week. I'm glad I had flood insurance in a non-flood zone. It is a freaking mess here.

My contents claim will be high too.
 
After thinking more about it, this isn't Andrew. Andrew almost fell apart and then blew up. And Andrew had a very narrow area of high winds. This might end up rivaling the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane.

Dog, if Irma makes its turn it won't make it to Texas. Still too early to be sure. Good luck to you and everyone down there, I can't really wrap my head around the amount of flooded homes.

The US Noaa Model(GFS) model has this thing missing Cuba and at a 894mb when it would hit the tip of Florida. That is insane(if it it happens). Just looked up Andrew and it was 922mb.

You are getting to know your stuff. We are going to have to go chase some wedges sometime.

The 1935 hurricane holds the CONUS record at 892mb. GFS Monday 18z has it bombing to 890mb off the coast of SC, WTF.

Projected path looks a lot like 1935.

I have two places in hurricane prone states and one property is on the coast. I have learned. Unfortunately.

have a younger retired friend in the midst of a divorce talking about selling everything, buying a sailboat or fixing up his 35 footer, sailing to the bahamas, docking and living there. first, he's never been there and my experience from earlier this year was very limited via a cruise. what i saw looked like a complete shit hole, we did beaches mainly. anyhoo, asked him last evening if he's thought about the place getting pounded with hurricanes annually. "nope, never thought about that, good call." told him he should be watching TWC.

I like the Bahamas, I wouldn't go as far to call it a shithole, but I wouldn't want to live in the slums, either. I'd take a trailer park over their slums lol.
