Wow, I'm sorry about all that. The good news that being in the cone now virtually guarantees you won't get hit. What hurricane did you get hit by last? Was it Laura?
Yeah, I retired in January 2020 and it has been one thing after the other. We had two direct hits by hurricanes last August - September. Hurricane Laura was the first one and it was a monster. It was the third most powerful storm to make landfall in the U.S. RIpped the town to shreds. A number of people on my street still do not have roofs on their houses from Laura, due to insurance companies dragging their feet or lack of someone to put the roof on. Lots of businesses have still not reopened. The second storm was Delta. It was mostly a rain event. We almost flooded then but lucked out. In May we had a bad thunderstorm that dumped 17" of rain on us in six hours. We got 5" of water in the house. It's been fun. Definitely don't need another weather event anytime soon.
Wow, that's awful! I think I would be ready to move. Several years ago there was a small city here that got direct hits from all 3 hurricanes that went through FL, but nothing as bad as there. I hope things improve there. Keep in touch with us even if your tank isn't up!
Hey Simon, Thanks for thinking about us, but rest assured that we are not being affected by this storm. We are on the southwest portion of the state, only 30 miles from the Texas line. The storm is making landfall on the southeast side of the state, close to New Orleans. We will have little to no exposure to this storm. 10-20mph winds and 1"- 2" of rain are all that is expected here today. Hurricane season runs until the end of November. Hoping this one is the only storm to pop up in the Gulf this year, but it likely won't be.
