Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 4376483, member: 2265"] Sitting here in North Myrtle Beach (18th Floor) watching Ian's storm surge bashing the dunes below. Ian made landfall just about at high tide. Looks like waves about 5-6 feet. Looking out the back I see the intersection about 3 feet under water. All-in-all, we have been very lucky. Myrtle Beach and Charleston got hit harder but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. My brother is in a nursing home in St Petersburg so we are grateful he didn't have to get evacuated. Had St Pete been hit directly it would have been another Ft Myers. Every politician should take note of the devastation that runs across state lines when natural disasters strike - it could be your state. Hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, tornadoes, snow storms know no arbitrary lines. We all need to support each other. Here's hoping Orange in Florida and the Carolinas are safe. [/QUOTE]
