Marsh Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well boys I have it bad.... Hurricane irma has ruined my county lol 99.9% without power, we were declared today the second most damaged county in florida next to Monroe (the keys) which is the area the storm made land fall. Lost power at 5pm est Sunday night, got an update at 10pm est that the storm eyewall shifted over my house. Luckily my house took minor damage but I am a lucky one. Gas station lines are miles long here and people are having trouble finding food or water. I'm fortunate enough to have a generator and the means to travel outside of the area to get supplies.. We have at least 50 power poles snapped in half which may not seem like much to some, but consider my county population is only 100k for all 4 cities here. Our bowling alley burnt to the ground and both hospitals have been without power for days and are having trouble getting gas themselves. There is major flooding in some areas here and power should be restored for my area by end of week or sooner. My best friend got his back today but he lives closer to the bigger area and I'm more in the secluded country club areas. My sister is on a different grid and her power company told them it would be weeks before they had all their customers restored. Fema recently took notice to our situation. As of sometimes today...... And I am thankful today to see power trucks from all area of the us Canada and mexico in our area. I will upload pictures once I have better than the shirty emergency phone internet think I'm only running 3g atm so I can not discord atm. Oh and ama because I'm bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AuF- AuFRuLeR Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 i live in fort lauderdale...lost power for 5 days but we got lucky overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Yeah a lot of the state was hit hard, my cousin lives in ft lauderdale. However I live in highlands county where as this morning we are 82% without power. Cnn article is wrote about it I guess, that's all fake new though. And I'm sure they interview the dumbest people. Irma didn't 1-0 me, she bailed like a how after a lucky win is all. Big house marsh doesn't need to rebuild... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Glad to hear you're safe and sound. P.s All that experience of weather storms on RA2 paid off I guess? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Lol grant, I guess so....this isn't my first hurricane, my wife and daughter aren't taking it as well. Probably going to finish off my vacation at the beach since my original plans were blown away, pun intended........ My internet on the phone seems to be better today, power is on down the road from my house so hopefully it will be on here soon. I will say this however, I went through Andrew in 1992, charley, Francis, and jeanne in 2004, Matthew outer bands last year, but this storm was hands down the worst ive ever experienced.

But ye a better name would be something like death magnetron 3000, that would really encourage ppl to gtfo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Back in the day hurricanes where only named after woman until an uprising. They use alphabetical order and retire names of storms that hit. Like andrew, katrina, irma, Harvey, ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aWarN1GGa Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm always wondering why Americans build their houses with wood (ofc it will fly), especially if their country is regularly hit by storms, here in Tunisia we build walls of 60cm thick, windows are reinforced, here we don't have hurricanes or whatever, but we get always strong winds and heavy rains.
