Bloody weather! ... and flyability

Show that to @clinkadink and he’ll be on the next plane! :rofl:

5 of the webcams on that coast that I was watching have gone off air. Could be power-outages - but there’s also evacuation orders in place, so may have been turned off.

lots of power outages. I watch the Weather channel over in the USA. Easy to get live feeds here.

Can be many reason. Fixed to something that’s blown over (one was earlier that I was watching. Still working - close-up of grass.)

Plenty of this for those still working, too.

Gusts …

I’ve not been following this, will we catch the tail end of it here in the UK?

There’s not prediction that far into the future … as yet.

Currently heading back into land and dissipating over Georgia and S Carolina.

There was an earlier one that faded - probably getting wet weather from that during the next week, but nothing major.

:open_mouth:

Watched a lot of this on the weather channel last night.

I recorded this off the TV in the evening - Weather Channel

Jim Cantore is mad! Not sure I would do what he does.

If you look him up on Twitter nobody wants him near their town as disaster in about to hit!

NASA launch has been delayed. Not surprised as Hurricane Ian will hit Cape Canaveral in about 6 hours.

The gust are already there …

A Youtube channel I follow ( a car mechanic ) has been uploading videos of his preparations, the storm, and the aftermath - he lives near Sarasota just north of Fort Myers

Jesus…

It looks like part of the set from Fear The Walking Dead or something :scream:

Can you even start to imagine what it’s like returning to your home after the evacuation and finding such life changing devastation.

No :pensive:

I saw a hurricane Katrina documentary a while back that followed some people as they went back to what was their home for the first time.

Heartbreaking :confused:

Not that the public have been allowed back as yet Only emergency services and utilities people so far.

So the residents are only seeing images like those above.

Still breezy on the US east coast. At least the wind is off-shore, for the time being.

Doesn’t stop a storm surge - but at least they normally get bigger tides that east FL, so hopefully better protection.
