My brother lives in North Carolina.
They evacuated to Florida. As an aside, brother’s family is about the fifth one I know of that had relatives in Florida and evacuated there.
Is it just me seeing the irony of this?
IF I WAS AVOIDING A HURRICANE THE LAST PLACE I’D GO IS FLORIDA!
But hey, that’s a joke. I know Fla. is close by but come on, Florida gets more hurricanes than anybody, sticking out into the ocean like that.
Anyway, brother came home. He doesn’t live near any big body of water and his land didn’t get flooded.
But the hurricane knocked down, get this, EIGHT TREES!!!
One landed on one of their vehicles.
They had to take care of three dogs and a mother-in-law but it looks like they made it.
I evacuated to Fla, I found my self promptly in a tornado, with and alligator on my leg.. I used a boa the stave off lightning strikes.. :)
Yea Florida isn’t a good choice for somebody fleeing from a Hurricane to a area receiving a Hurricane. Not when there are so many more closer + safer places to go. But if I was in the Florida peninsula Gainesville Florida is a great choice to evacuate to.
The greater Gainesville area is just about the only area above sea level, or at least the highest point in Florid, lol. Iit’s dead center with no huge lakes around it. It sits on 75 and is close to 10.
Fl was closer..hurricane went north. Fl had no predicted hurricanes for at least 2 weeks out.
