Some of you don’t get it. The major problem here isn’t the wind, it’s the flooding. I am in danger of losing my house.
The three houses next to me have no chance of surviving without at least very major damages. Depending on which end of the tide ranges being predicted I will have either no damage or major damage.
And then we have one idiot talking about the wrath of God. Unbelievable.
“I am in danger of losing my house.”
Same here. We live directly on a creek. Our deck is actually built over the creek. Our old house was built in 1813 and was a grist-mill so it has been time-tested.
I’m extra worried about this storm and have spent the last week prepping. We’re still repairing damage from last year’s battle with Irene & Lee! Still have many bridges and roads out in our area (upstate NY) from last year.
It’s gonna be an interesting few days. Stay safe.
There is a lot of problems with this storms. There will be thousands of trees down. With them the power will go down. People will be without power for a few days to over a week. It gets cold at night, and there is a potential to have a cold front come through in that time.
There is the ability to flood as you said.
Many people don’t understand that not ever storm needs to be as powerful as Hurricane Katrina to create a lot of destruction. Thankfully it won’t be that powerful. Hurricane Irene created a ton of flooding in Vermont, and even in Ct it took over 2 weeks to restore power in many areas. It was a massive “cluster”. Luckily for New England that was when it was still warm. They are not so lucky this time.
