Trust me I live in the 912 area code (which is near Savannah) and you guys are right. I keep telling my family about that, how fortunate we've been in the past few years of not getting hit by any major storms. Preparation and knowledge is the key and valuable with hurricane weather
Idalia was as about as bad as you can get even though it hit mostly the rural areas….we’re still cleaning up fallen trees and destroyed houses, pole barns, sheds and vehicles.
These people can't forecast correctly in the same hour, let alone from one day to the next. There probably won't be a hurricane in Tampa for another 100 years
