AI6YR BenSteinhatchee is flat, and on a river, and there's a hurricane driven surge going up that river. Total inundation likely... by a significant amount. Second graph in red is >9 ft inundation, peak surge there is forecast 15-20 feet. #Steinhatchee #FLwx #Helene
I can't imagine that building is there anymore. Single story, on the water, 15-20 ft of surge = toast? Who knows. #Steinhatchee
Next building over... three stories. 20 ft surge will be into the second level, so now you're wondering how much structural integrity it would have (or not). Plus wind.
This building has some serious pilings... Will see how that does, clearly they were worried about surge when they designed this one. #Steinhatchee
BakersRelay@ai6yr Tomorrow morning is going to be interesting…
Pusher of Pixels@ai6yr yeah that looks like more than just one story up. Couldn't live with that climb every damn day lol
me_valentijnDefinitely needs an elevator of some sort 😂
@ai6yr BTW NWS Jacksonville lost power. NWS New Orleans assuming warnings
@BakerRL75 Sigh. On related news, I am having the ISP I know here put up a new server, if Chip is willing to restart things on that server it will be cheap and very reliable (and not prone to being taken crypto-hostage...)
@ai6yr 👍 I do appreciate you not booting up a server tonight…
JohnWIf the storm is coming ashore there, even that might not be enough height.
Nope, goodbye crab shack. Completely destroyed by the surge. #Steinhatchee #Helene #FLwx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg841sVKh0E
'I was in shock': Steinhatchee resident describes Helene's devastation
Reporter: "that was another restaurant... we were told it was just rebuilt from Hurricane Idalia" 😬 #Helene #Steinhatchee
Hmm, those buildings held up a lot better than I expected. I guess on stilts and pretty well anchored.
TheJen will not comply
Laukidh@ai6yr remember that Malibu flower shop that got flooded every year for a while?
@Laukidh Oh yeah, I know exactly which one you are talking about. Every time.
@ai6yr found it, cosentino’s! https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-11-me-18754-story.html
THE CALIFORNIA DELUGE : Luck Runs Out for Landmark Malibu Nursery
It has been a local landmark in Malibu for 21 years--a place where celebrities and everyday folks alike would stop for a holiday bouquet, a potted plant or just a chat with the family that runs the nursery called Cosentino's.
@Laukidh Yep! It's built in the riverbed, I swear
Even the house on serious stilts had mud deposited inside 😬

Is there a word for wet toast?
