at least 3' crawlspace should be code across most or all of the state.
People keep rebuilding, and yet only a small fraction of the time do they bother doing something sensible like elevating the house. Even nearly 100% of new houses are slab houses. An at least 3' crawlspace should be code across most or all of the state.
Will someone please think of the oil rigs!
Around here in coastal Virginia, he houses in the low areas must be able to take 4 feet of water with no damage. That is typically done by putting a concrete garage under the house.
And yet, you will see people dancing on the beaches, hurricane parties and daft surfers with Hurricane Mania going into the pounding surf.
Looks like it's going towards the Yucatan now.
Well, this is some 'October Surprise'.
Nonstop 'natural disasters' till election day.
This will be beyond epic level storm surges. The entire west coast of FL is likely to get wiped out. Hopefully I'm wrong and being overly hyperbolic, but anything on grade/slab is getting wiped out. I'd get the fuck out of dodge on this one.
This describes my friend's situation I believe. He's on a canal in Fort Myers and his house is on a slab.

Agreed. But I think it hurts Kamul-ah much more than Trump.
Helene is going to look like a joke I think

He sandbagged and taped his house during Helene and still got about 3 inches in his house. He told me this time he's hauling everything out of his place and leaving.

-Straight EAST?!I've seen Hurricanes hit Cancun or Cuba, get stronger, and turn West or North or even SW once or twice. I've never seen a hurricane form off Mexico and go firmly East.
I've never heard of a Hurricane hit the Gulf somewhere but dump most it's water in Appalachia rather than along the Coast. I've never seen or heard storms or hurricanes cause damage on the heavily wooded, very moist, well drained mountains by running DOWN the mountains instead of in the lower elevations by flooding UP in the larger rivers. I've never seen a hurricane look as wierdly organized as the last one - it either keeps together but gets weaker, or dissipates and disorganizes after it hits land.
