How are our Florida peeps?

FL 4Motion

We got lucky, house and the vehicles inside the garage were fine. Only issue was a shitton of water intrusion into my wife’s JLUR which was parked in the driveway. (2 car garage, so no room). Just pulled the carpets f/r on passenger side and popped the drain plugs.

It must’ve leaked from the front top door seal corner, also only on the side that got the most wind/rain exposure. Jeep’s never leaked before and it’s over 3 years old so I call that a win.

Glad to hear you guys are safe. Materials can always be replaced (though a pain in the @$$ process).

For those on the east coast of FL, get ready for Hurricane Nicole and stay safe!

So another day and another hurricane.

At least it was only a cat 1.

We didn’t need anymore water though.

Fortunately no damage but my wife’s Jeep leaked again in exactly the same place as last time. Should’ve just left the carpets out.

Fvcker’s def getting bed lined for sure now. Linex or bullet liner, gotta do some research.

Hope everyone else did okay. I saw on the news 49 beach front structures were damaged/condemned bc of undermining of foundations or just partially collapsed into the ocean. Included 25 hotels and condo complexes.

A November hurricane is quite rare from what I hear.

Yeah, really is, last one was 18 years ago iirc.

Tampa's been really lucky the last 100+ years with no direct hurricane hits, but looking at the pictures of Nicole, it shows that mother nature can be a b!tch and the amount of destruction even a Cat 1 can cause.

I hope the storms are paying attention to the calendar!

vtec to vvel

They don’t. I’m just going off of what the supposed “weather professionals” are relaying.

Yeah, I know. I wasn't taking a shot at you.

I have little respect for most TV weather people. Some years ago I had a friend who was a bona fide professional with the US Weather Service or whatever the correct name is. I only thought I had little respect for the TV folks. He was brutal.

No worries bro, I didn't take it that way lol.

There are these so-called "professionals" or "industry experts" in any and every field, and yet, some of the things they say never ceases to amaze me (not in a good way). For example, this is something that affects everyone:

Former Fed. Chair Ben Bernanke
01/2008: "The Fed. Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession." The Great Recession was from 12/2007 to 06/2009.

Fed. Chair Jerome Powell
12/2021: "Inflation is transitory."
06/2022: "We now understand better how little we understand about inflation."
11/2022: "We know rate hikes hurt. But we know what we're doing."

Sec. of Treasury Janet Yellen (and Former Fed. Chair)
06/2021: "I don't anticipate that inflation is going to be a problem."
06/2022: "I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take."
