Hurricane Milton

This is the kind of yacht I’m looking for. Wonder if it’s for sale.

What I've been seeing posted images wise, doesn't seem like it was that bad? Water didn't come up that much? I've yet to see one pic with entire neighbourhoods under water?

You should have seen reddit a couple days ago. They were saying this would be the strongest hurricane to hit ever. All because of you know what.
 
Orlando where I am was fine, very minor tree debris down, some water in low lying areas but all in all was just wind and rain. I was outside on the phone with the wife and I would equate it to a strong breeze for most of the time with some gusts. It def picked up here and there but not sustained. Being on the top floor of the hotel I could here it howling but it sounded worse up here than it was down on the ground.

Was raining a bit this morning, sun is coming out now with a slight breeze that is drying things up.

Hotel had power flicker a few times but never went out, seems the storm broke up when it came on shore and luckily it was not as bad by the time it got here.
 
Slept from bout 8 to 11 last night, lost power at midnight, then slept again from 1 to 6. Blinding rain and wind at midnight, pretty wild really. Power came back on right before noon, so I only had to run the generator for about 4 hours this morning. No damage to the house, lots of small tree debris, some medium sized oak limbs are down, but that's it for me really. My back yard is a lake again but that was expected.

Question for the rich folks. You see all these videos of boats parked on the shore. Why wouldn't you take your $250K+ yacht somewhere else? I know there isn't shit you can do with your house except board it up, but that boat is mobile. Move it elsewhere.

Insurance claim might be an easy way to get out of a expensive ass boat you can't really afford.

Not boat, but corporate jet related: we had some pilots and owners that would fly in and tell us that if it storms, especially hail, just to leave the jet outside as it's insured for more than it's worth.:laughing:

Probably the same for yachts and boats

Got to move a long way sometimes. I don’t own one yet, but I could see the storm is headed for my yacht and I take it 50 miles east and then the storm tracks east.

This might really sound stupid, but when I was flying around Luweseanna after Katrina, I saw lots of yachts floating around in good condition. Lots of others tied to a dock distroyed. Seems like the boats arnt wrecked by the storm, but what they float into. I’m thinking just tie it to a good solid center post and let it pivot with the wind. Maybe just take it out in the bay and keep it pointed in the wind. (Not sure if motors can keep up with 100+ winds) Maybe drop anchor and help with the motors.

Well wait a minute. It's weather and its unpredictable on what it's actually gonna do.

If it's predicted as bad and turns out good then everyone is railing on "over hyping"
If It's predicted not bad and it ends up worse then its "you didn't tell us, there should have been more warning, you should have been ready"

Literally show in both hurricane threads:
Helene: your not doing enough
Milton: you did to much

If you were really prepared you'd have your own Doppler system and not rely on the lies of Big Weather. :flipoff2:
