However, the vast majority of people that I have ever met who stayed during Laura, Ida, etc. say they’d never do it again. I think it’s the psychological part that’s rough, and then the absolute inconvenience of the immediate aftermath.
I also find the vast majority of people who say they have always stayed and will stay have in fact never been near the eye wall of major hurricane. That’s a one and done human experience for most people.

They might not be on for long. Hoping for the best for that area even though it’s not looking great, Mexico Beach-Carrabelle and beyond is an incredible little part of the world.
Yep
My aunt and uncle bought a place there 3 years ago

I believe Bay decided to focus on real life.

Agree. They are also over exaggerating the surge, which they have done ever since they missed on Katrina
They have reports of 36 feet of water in port sulphur from Katrina
Not sure if that was urban legend or not, but I know for a fact that on Milan, my buddy’s house floated over the power lines before it got set back down on the opposite side of the street. Somehow, the power lines were still erect (giggidy) after the storm passed and the water went down. Absolutely insane

I believe he was in the business. Maybe not a meteorologist, but a professional in the field.

I saw the concrete slab where Waveland used to be post Katrina. Anyone that thinks they over exaggerated the storm surge needs to get out more.

Go drive thru bay St. Louis where empty lots are still plentiful and how high houses are that did rebuild

Man… I know it got basically zero coverage, but I saw some shite down in the lower end of plaquemines parish after Katrina that would blow your mind. If there’s EVER a serious storm headed my way, I’m getting the frick out of town.
I have an album online somewhere with like 175 pics. I’ll have to figure out where it is and how I can share it here

At the Kiln exit on I-10, they have a marker on the overpass on the south side marking the top of the surge at that location. Frightening to think about.

I’m not trying to be a dick, because I do believe you, but where? Just looked and I can’t find one.

As your coming to 10 from BSL it’s on the overpass support.
