Hey Sarge, tell me 'bout it. We are still fixing damage in Panama City at my wife's family home from two years ago. We are down to drywall and ceiling. All the good contractors are busy and way over priced. The insurance estimate did not plan for the price of everything to go up. Now we are repairing Sally's damage in Pensacola. Getting spread too thin. Too old for this much excitement.

We got neighbors that have had work going one since Jan 2019, so a few months after Michael kicked our asses. They still aren't done.

A year or so ago, there were plenty of contractors still around here, now they are as rare as hens teeth. They got as much money as the could, as fast as they could, then went home or to the next disaster area.

Those that are still here or are local are as you said over priced, over worked, or the opposite. Seen to many neighbors having to have roofs, siding, flooring redone due to shoddy work. One neighbor of ours is on their second metal roof post storm and are in litigation to have it redone.

Power is OUT.

That sucks......Here in Panama City, we got a big pass on this storm. Been breezy on and off today, but that's it. I'm thankful for that beyond words.

Brother so sorry to see that.

Thank you, and thankfully it’s started going down, but I’ll be awake all night checking in on neighbors and family, and cleaning up.

Power up!!!

A woman flooded her car out driving through the flooded roadway, and she can’t understand why I won’t run my bobcat into the saltwater to pull her out. I’ll pull you out after the water goes down.

Well 45-50mph winds but only 1/2" rain, was a loud night this far away from everything

 

[Molon Labe]

Well, the weather gurus have another storm in the Caribbean with a 50% chance of development as of this AM. I guess I'll keep my window shutters down and panels up a little longer. I sure hope we don't need them.

Here’s her car this AM

And the grass is everywhere

A boat washed into the road, I moved it out to clear the roadway

I was on Avalon Blvd last night when the tornado warning for all of Garcon Point and Pea Ridge came on the radio. My F150 was getting thrown all over the road and there was zero visibility in the heavy rain. I turned the truck around and got the heck off of Avalon Blvd. I called Mr. Safety First who lives out there and told him to get downstairs now and and he was like "it's not even raining here, why?", so I'm pretty sure that I drove through a tornado last night

You drove through something for sure. I know that there are other strong wind movements are more linear. I was at home watching both Channel 3 discuss that moving cluster. I could not make heads or tails of what they were showing from some sort of doppler radar. But i could see it on my weather.com radar and watch it move North.

For a strong well organized tornado I have heard and read claims it sounds like a train coming.

Depending on the twister and where you're standing, it can sound like a hiss, a buzz, a rumble, or even a freight train. It's the auditory manifestation of trouble. But tornadoes also seem to emit low-frequency sound waves called infrasound that the human ear can't hear.

In addition to a constant rumble or low roar, tornadoes can also sound like:

• waterfall or whooshing of air
• A nearby jet engine
• A deafening roar

When a tornado is tearing through a big city or a heavily populated area, it can produce lots of loud noises simultaneously, making it impossible to hear a particular sound because the sound is so deafeningly loud.

Why Tornadoes Are So Loud

No matter what sound is heard, most survivors agree on one thing: the loudness.


A tornado's vortex is made up of air that's rotating very rapidly. Think of how loud wind sounds when you are driving down the highway with your car window down, except multiply that by several hundred times.




What's more, after the tornado reaches the ground, its winds blow through trees, tear apart buildings, and blow debris about—all which adds to the noise level.

????? really ???? 2020 just won’t end

 

[FrommerStop]

This what it looks like now and where and what it might be doing. The question is it going to make a 90 degree turn to the north. As it is now we are safe up here, but one never knows after sally and zeta.
