hello everyone
i live in west broward county and am currently under a hurricane warning until monday
i'm here to give live updates and answer questions while i still have power
at the moment, rain is coming down pretty steadily and the wind is gusting, but things haven't gotten super terrible so far
so, AMA i guess i'll post updates as things happen
here are some frequently asked questions i've gotten in various threads:
why didn't you evacuate
logistically, evacuation was never really an option—i fully expected to be present for the storm from the very beginning and never considered evacuating, not because i didn't take the storm seriously but because by the time evacuation became a very real possibility, a good portion of the county had decided to evacuate, so i wasn't quick enough to the gun
the eye isn't coming at you so aren't you basically going to get away with no bad weather essentially
not necessarily because the storm is just so wide that i'm going to pick up strong winds up to 100mph; sustained, it's going to be around 50 or 60, which is a lot better than what i was originally projected to get (120+), but i'm going to get wind regardless
can i have your stuff if you die
ye
