All the old-timers tell me they've never seen water in the courthouse before. There was 6 feet of water in the courthouse. |
And we haven't gotten to the heavily devastated areas yet. |
I'm worried about every one of the hurricanes that come our way, but I'm afraid there's going to be some loss of life with this one. |
People don't understand what is meant by storm surge. You're telling them, 'Hey, you need to go. |
The big problem that we will be facing is the possibility of a 10-to-16 foot tidal surge. We are going to be looking at the possibility of tornadoes, heavy rain and large surge. |
The only thing I'd like to see us do is be consistent across the Coast. Evacuation of low-lying areas is the main thing. |
This is just precautionary at this time. Due to the unpredictable nature of tropical systems, we want our residents to begin planning. |
