Looks like you are in for one helluva blow job.
Oh big deal, it's only going to be a Cat 1, some wind, some rain, a little storm surge, meh. We lived through 2 Cat 4's in Norfolk now those are something to respect!

You selling T-Shirts! I'll buy one!
I hear you about the normal summer time rain. I'm just worried about some of the people along the Anclote river. Hope they don't flood like they did last August. I am high and dry so I should be fine.... Stay dry Andrew!

I've lived in this house since 2001 and I've never seen so much as a standing puddle on my property John. I'm high and dry.
I don't want to sound insensitive, but if you buy property along a river, or below sea level (NOLA), you are rolling the dice.
Well that was an interesting several minutes. My wife was coming home on US 19, where the tornado was reported to be heading and right where she was going to be traveling. I called her and luckily she was already past that point and almost home.
Just want to say hope all you fellow brewers North of me are prepared for this thing. Even a cat 1 can be a pita. So be careful and be safe!

For the record, the flooding in New Orleans during Katrina was due to the federal levee engineering failures and not inundation from rain/storm surge (though the recent flooding around Baton Rouge, Laplace, etc was).
But yeah, it is important to be conscious of elevations and flood risk wherever you live, but particularly down here.
edit: Glad your wife is OK. Tornadoes are a nasty part of these storms.
