Hurricane Earl

[Badgersmilk]

I was actually looking forward to a little action off of Earl (It's not that scary when your prepared).  This is as "wild" as it got for Myrtle Beach...

Wave's are about 4'.  There's sea weed and little jellyfish (size of a .50 pc) washed up all over the beach.

Its good to see the gov is actually prepped for something like they were then Charlie went through.

Cat 4 ain't no joke.

I lived in tornado alley, a little blow from Earl ain't no thing.....I'm two miles from the coast now and I ain't going anywhere...I can accept mother nature in all her glory...

Hey Tim....I'm talking trash because I grew up riding out hurricanes. Your 'egoing to be 2 miles from the ocean in a place where most of the storms have petered out a bit when they reach you- cold water and all. If you ever hear you've got Cat 4 coming- sometimes even 3, and it's going to hit you right on the head, PLEASE get out of the way. it's different than a tornado and there's no getting away from the worst of it once it arrives.

Hurricane Preparedness Rule #1:  Have a plan on getting your family the heck out of town!

Anything else comes after that!  Whether you want to ride it out or not, it's crazy to not be prepared to run for it when you need to!  Mother nature is NO JOKE!!!

We have yet to see a hurricane, but I was in a F4 tornado in Texas once.  That was enough!

Actually, rule number 1 is to see whether getting out of town is even an option. In lot of coastal areas, population density makes that impossible. One or two roads in and out, and way too many folks trying to use them. Running out of gas stiuck in traffic on the interstate is a vey real possibility. You also aren't the only one who will think about using the backroads (if there are any). Sometimes hunkering down, while not ideal, may be the least bad option. This is something you should figure out ahead of time and plan accordingly.

Ice Cream Cones.

Eat Ice Cream Cones.

There is not one documented case where someone was killed by a hurricane while eating an Ice Cream Cone.

Roger That Jay, I said LITTLE BLOW....I've seen one Cat 4 and I don't plan on seeing another up close...

Good Sage advice, just like on TBD Survival, get out and get out early!
