I am so stoked to begin my road trip to S. FL. tomorrow morning. I will travel P.C.-Aspen-Salida-Dallas-Pensecola-Orlando. Then, either Jupiter-Coral Gables, or Naples-Coral Gables. My plan is to pull into C.G. on Thursday. Hopefully, I will make a few night casts in the pan handle surf, then either in Jupiter of off Marco Island, before pulling into C.G. Because of COVID, much of my nights will be surf fishing Key Biscayne. Next Tuesday, I have a few days scheduled in Islamorada. I think that snook, Pompano and tarpon fishing will be outstanding.
Another interesting issue during the storm is the splashdown of astronauts. It's going to be a fun ride for me, but a wild one for them“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

I’m in Jupiter, right across from the pier. We just had a lot of sand move for the better. Snook fishing has been great for me (non human hours).

I once spent the most intense 24 hours of what a tropical storm could be in a house on the Jersey shore, right on the beach, and it was tense at times. 65 mph winds for about 8 hours, which doesn't sound like much, but, don't go outside and pray for the roof, which is making ugly sounds. Boat owners have to be freaking out, and there's a lot of them in the path. Can you insure a boat for something like this? I watched a really nice 28 fort Hunter sailboat, pretty new, nice deep green hull with teak everywhere, just get disintegrated during a northeaster off City Island. Tie those fuckers down.

Looks like they tossed in a few for Trump.

Waiting on a Bmills check in. Is all the patio furniture still upright?

The way this is going we're not even gonna get any rain out of it and we really need rain here. I'm giving up on the grass if we don't get at least an inch.

I would enjoy that. Love feeling a touch of mama’s force. Just as long as she isn’t really pissed. Happy for your patio furniture too.

That 2012 derecho that went through DC fucked shit some up. We didn't have power for a week. That thing was like 10 minutes from start to finish and shit was wrecked.

Right? Weird fucking things. Years ago we were at the beach and when we got home the remnants of Ivan came through as a derecho and shit was destroyed.
The one that came across low country (I think the same as the one you’re talking about) basically took anything not healthy vegetation-wise and laid it down in the same direction to equal effect.I still call it The Jake.

On the bright side for the next few years and even to an extent now, when it's really windy or an ice storm pretty much nothing comes down.

Just think, a 130 mph wind will exert about 3 times the force of that little blow. Dorians winds exerted 7-8 times the force.
Yes boat insurance exists for hurricanes. Typically in an agreed value policy. I knew plenty of people who hoped for their boat to sink when a storm came in.
Speaking of Dorian, here’s a few shots from when I was on the east side of Grand Bahama last year. That was a humbling storm. The people of Abaco and GB will be impacted by that storm for decades to come.

I would respectfully disagree. I haven't spent a lot of time at say Pawleys or Surfside the past few years, but 15 years ago there was literraly no beach at high tide, with the water coming under some houses butilt out on stilts. My cousin who is beachfront Pawleys put some pictures up yesterday; I can't figure out how to post them but it sure looks the same.

Yeah but do you have Snooki and the Situation?

Regrettably, no.
But we do have the cast of Southern Charm, which is much more attractive and (relatively) refined, even if underneath it all they’re not that different from Snooki and the Sitch.

Southern NC beaches (Sunset, Ocean Isle) did a good job of building back and maintaining dunes and vegetation, but they had the space to work with. Parts of the OBX and places like Emerald Isle, you stand on the beach side dunes and clearly see the sound. Those places are probably doomed.
It’s not all build, build, build after houses are lost. Plenty of places that were hit and either never rebuilt (North Topsail comes to mind) or were rebuilt with a significant buffer. It’s interesting to look at the parcel maps for some of those islands and see that the beachfront house is actually the third parcel back.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

It is VERY rainy here...like BONKERS rain...since 3:30a.m. Most rain I've seen in forever.
EDIT to add: Tornadoes in the immediate area. "Take shelter" warnings!It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
