Fortunately, most of Florida also drains pretty well, so it can shed the water a lot better than a lot of other places. Of course, there's a limit to everything.Hi,
Wow, that's (84 inches) nuts. I understand now that Florida could see surges of 10 feet! That's really really nuts.
Yes i understand that there are more dimensions to it than just the inches of rain. I figure Florida is vulnerable though because it has low lying areas that will flood easily. I guess we will know for sure very soon now.
I know someone who lives in Ft. Lauderdale and they boarded up the house. The eye seems to be still heading a little west so it is now more on the west side. Lucky for them, although the storm is pretty wide now.
Not all people followed the mandatory evacuations.
