Never Stop Chasing
_________________
This is why I left coastal Florida after 10 years of stressing over hurricane season. I moved inland by several miles. Not in a flood zone, and in a new home that’s wind rated for hurricanes. Not perfect, because nowhere is safe in Florida, but my stress levels are down a lot.
Way back in ‘91 I decided car pollution was health risk to lung & heart. Moved to Cedar Key as our family suffered 1952 pipe caused 2 nd floor Flood and $50,000
Fire damage in 1971. Love Beach Boy songs, and boating is part of life. I leave electric off in my House in winter Cedar Key, and cook with small Propane stove.
Do assist completing backyard boat. ‘Have sewer from porta potty. 1 camper vehicle/lot Code of Cedar Key. Tenting, safe as room to pitch .
How far inland? If you’re still 30-45 minutes from a good beach then that sounds perfect.
I was in several hurricanes in Florida had damaged my property too many times.. Moved to Colorado 7,000 feet elevation were I am safe as well as my animals...I pray for these residents.. God bless them..
@@snowraven9096 we are in Florida and thinking about moving to Colorado, my daughter's company has just opened a new office there and she is trying to get transferred and if she does we are going. I have been in Florida for about 30 years now near a beach about 2 towns in now, started at the beach. I have never seen so much building before, entire towns on top in towns and no lots are left untouched, traffic is insane; we never had traffic before; there is no place for the water to go anymore and we will be seeing more and more of this and it will get blamed on climate change but I can tell you, the old timers use to surgery and only build on higher ground with land in between so the water had some where to go, that was thier main concern. Now you have houses inches apart from each other on land that was preserved for wildlife but it has been bought over and being developed.
I moved from Florida 5 years ago to New Mexico. The center of Tropical Storm Harold almost went over me a couple of weeks ago and Hurricane Hilary got close too. I went thru the eyewall of Hurricane Charley in Orlando in 2004 and that was enough for me. I didn't want to grow elderly in Florida.
Reed is a lunatic and I love him for it. His poor mom 😣 this must be so hard for her lol
Please stay safe Reed 🙏
I just found this channel and I am having anxiety just watching! Praying for everyone in this monsters path🙏🙏🙏🙏
She must be use to him and his ways! Stay safe Reed.
Yeppers ....Total lunatic with Tornado chasing as well ....A total commitment on his part and many amazing footage because of it!!!
😂. He is a hero
hahahahahahaha pssssssst hey Mr Reed read this comment from your favorite family friend always good to see your family and close friend commenting
Hope everyone stayed safe including all the animals. The flooding was horrific looking. TY, Reed.
Anywhere that's on a low lying coast with these winds pushing water..will be like this. Good news...it WILL recede.
Wow terrible. Sorry to everyone whose homes were damaged. I pray everyone did the right thing and left for safety and shelter. Love from Australia
Man says, “let’s build on the beach.” Nature says, “oh no you don’t!”
Thanks for showing the storm surge. So many don't take it seriously and this is excellent footage to show reality
Yes Denise that dangerous and deadly storm surge of 9 feet did not even cover a Stop sign LOL they exaggerate so media can sell more ads .
Kind of a ironic comment coming from a guy who isn’t taking it seriously by trapping himself on a bridge…
lol
In the past month alone, I've seen Dr. Timmer go to Yuma, CO to chase a tornado, then to Palm Springs, CA for their Tropical Storm, then to Cedar Key, FL for this hurricane. That is a very well-travelled and dedicated man. I don't know how he does it but I am thankful for what he does. Never stop chasing. 👍
Thank you Pami Rose! Never stop chasing that is the trick
Scary and gross to think about what all is in that water you guys were wading through. Glad you brought it up. Even more compassion for residents and business people.
I will now be using this to explain to people that WATER IS DANGEROUS. The amount of people who don't understand that water is the most deadly force of nature is astounding, and this needs to be taught to everyone in every school. Much love to everybody and prayers for those in Florida! ❤
Also needs to be taught to Congress and elected leaders of hazard prone areas. I am wondering why these two haven't be er lectricuted. I am wondering if the power company turned the power. Same with natural gas.
See, I knew beer was better for you all along. So many nattering nabobs.
🧂🌊🚘 Intensive carwash should be done quickly after contact with saltwater.
True. A lot of people mistakenly think it's the wind which is the most deadly, but it's not even close.
It can't be taught in school . CRT takes precedence today.
Up close and personal with Idalia. Wow. Thanks for bringing this to us. Please be safe
Lovely thought but you can't actually use the words "Reed" and "safe" in the same sentence. I always hope that I'm not going to see him die.
You are better off hoping that he doesn't needlessly put first responders and EMTs in danger just so he can get views and likes. There is a line, and this guy crosses it continually. At some point, that line is going to strangle him. @@flamingomtn
@@TAGSlays he doesn’t have thr title of an extreme meteorologist for no reason. He has to get up close and personal to document the power of the storms so people can be aware and prepared. It’s not the money it’s the love for these storms which is why he his there
Spare me. You can get the same info from remote operated cameras. No need to be a luddite here. The man basically "inspires" others to out do him and gets people hurt or worse when there is literally no need for it other than to stroke his ego and the ad revenue. @@andrewpurvis7498
He can either be safe or he can get you this footage. There is no scenario where both work.
I live 1.4 miles from the beach, just South of Tampa and I am so thankful that my area had very minimal flooding and damage. This hurricane was definitely wild! Prayers to those who weren’t as lucky 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Please be safe Reed! We don't want to lose you! Hurricanes are the worst !!!
I am usually fearful when I start to watch your streams. You are brave or otherwise to pursue these storms. I just want to caution you that walking through the floodwaters here in Florida you might encounter snakes, floating islands of fire ants, alligators and even sharks. Please be extremely careful!!!!! (Likely raw sewage, as well).
or as Reed was wondering- fecal matter thru his pee hole. Can't believe he said that. lol Not a joking matter but still sounded funny
Exactly. ANYTHING could be on those waters!
And flesh eating bacteria!
Sometimes fuel and chemicals are in the water also.
electric wires, sharp pieces of steel, jelly fish, human bodys. pets, automobiles, pieces of paper, trees, looters ect. I bet he never thought he would encounter anything other that water and wind.
Here you are channeling your inner Florida man again. You will forever be my favorite extreme weather guy! Stay safe Reed!🌀🌊🌬🌪
Meanwhile he caught an awesome debris flow in California only last week! I never watch the news for weather events I just follow Reed! 😊
🥰🥰🥰
Totally agree...have followed him since his storm chasing days....LEGEND
@@Whistler326 xo
Yea, he seems to be having a great time...
Omg, that is awful. Those poor people. 😢
This brings back memories of growing up in Tampa as a child. I loved the storms and had no natural fear of them. I stood under the water spout and let the warm rain water pour over me as the storm water poured off of our roof. In second grade I believe, we had a hurricane pass over while we were in school. Baseball sized hail broke the classroom windows as we sheltered under our desks at twin lakes grade school. We were bussed home afterwards and still with no fear swam home through the deep ditches in our neighborhood. water was everywhere. The roads flooded and the busses could barely get through. Power lines were down.
We didn't know that the snakes and other creatures were forced out of their homes. As we swam, I came up to a floating styrofoam cup. There was a tiny green snake riding out the flood water in this cup. We met face to face. I then decided it wasn't a good idea to be ditch swimming and climbed out onto the road I realize I must have caused a lot of grownups to worry iin our neighborhood. Like I said I had no fear. Thankfully someone taught us some common sense, since then 🤣🤣🤣
Since then I have been struck by lightning 4 times that I have knowledge of. Not in a violent way but thin strikes going through my house or car windows. Like a tickle across my forehead for instance as it strikes into my area. I don't understand why but this has happened multiple times.
I have a healthy respect for storms now but I still love the power of nature. It awes me!

Our prayers are with the Cedar Key residents, they only recently recovered from a prior hurricane storm surge. I had a trip planned for next February, the people are so nice there. I am heartbroken for them and the rebuild process they will have to deal with.
Thoughts too? Or just prayers?
Instead of sending worthless prayers why not send supplies like food and water?
Have fun on your trip
@@chrispavin1373 That's a slippery slope to a socialist state!! /s. Gonna have to stick with thoughts, prayers, and pulling bootstraps.
Surely it's a hoax.
Everyone wants to live on the water until a Hurricane comes through!
That storm surge is INSANE! Looking like paradise one day, an absolute disaster zone the next. Thank you Reed for going out in these storms educating people on the power of these storms
Cedar Key certainly is paradise. A beautiful place to visit. I hope the recovery goes okay out there
Stay safe man, that’s too dangerous
Wow crazy storm. Ive never understood why people build and live so close to these dangerous hurricanes. I pray everyone is safe.
They got what they asked for.
I’m sure they didn’t ask for this, but they did take a gamble. Today, they lost.
No one should should live in the plains or anywhere its flat or hills because of tornados. California earthquakes. Fires that are burning down towns, and the hills and when no vegetation cuz its burned off, then the floods come....where do you suppose would be a good place to live????
Hold on, cuz its coming soon to your town! Where will YOU live then?
May because they haven't seen something like this in over 100 years? Many people take the risk to live in paradise. I lost my home to a wildfire in Santa Barbara and I don't care, I'll just rebuild and enjoy the good times.
I’m sitting here watching you as I have for many years and I think to myself … how many lives have you saved by risking your own? There must be an extra special place in Heaven for people like you Reed.
May you always be blessed for it.
🙏Amen
No one crazy like Reed Timmer to be at the coast with storm surges that dangerous! This guy is such a legend
Im watching from California & This is devastating. It breaks my heart watching this knowing the grief & sadness that all of Florida is feeling. Prayers that all are safe and positive thoughts for everyone affected by this disaster. 🙏🏻
Reed you are well and truly an insane man. Massive respect for the work you do and most of all the passion you have
Indeed RESPECT
PLease be careful!
Get out of that contaminated water asap
i agree but even more so about the insane part! Wowzer thats crazy & a good reason why you dont see other ppl!
Make HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA..🧐😳😳🌪️🌪️🌊🌊🌊⛈️⛈️ , CAREFULL, MAN!!!
Prayers going out to everyone that this hurricane touched in anyway, whether it was their homes, businesses or loved ones.
Massive respect to you Reed and your crew for all you do. Stay safe...
Thoughts too? Or just prayers?
U beat me to it..I thought I was the only one @@Chris-zo5ze
@@Chris-zo5zehow about you kick rocks. Also, think about the rocks.
ever think maybe he's misunderstanding yall cuz not great at English let alone future slang and is just dropping turnaders on you all willy nilly cuz you ask for it? ., or maybe that many people wish for death daily that he does mini floods now? ., i don't, but im not a theist ..,
Why pray for people who deliberately build at the waters edge and get destroyed year over year, its stupidity. The state shouldn't even allow it at this point.
This is a true testament that camera man truly never dies
Thank you for the fantastic footage of this very dangerous storm surge caused by the hurricane. Very sad folks have to suffer damage to their homes, I hope everyone stayed safe during the storm, again great job! Very brave to go out in that stuff!
Truly heartbreaking for everyone, especially the homeowners of those units getting pummeled by storm surge on camera. Sending prayers to all touched by this hurricane 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
А вы видели что США на Украине натворили своими поставками и деньгами ,так что ни че просто бегите
Пока есть куда -скоро может и не будет ,хотя зароетесь если что как крысы
I been watching from Ontario and my heart’s breaking I have family down there. Prayers for our Floridians ❤🤍🙏🏻
@@ffm570 С Украиной было бы все в порядке, если бы в нее не вторглись российские террористы. Хорошая работа с ПВО прошлой ночью! Россия потеряла миллионы долларов на самолетах и припасах для картонных самолетиков, которыми управляли подростки с контроллерами видеоигр.🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No new insurance policies in FL.
That's an extreme meteorologist if I've ever seen one
I've prayed and will continue praying for you and all of the areas impacted by the hurricane. May God bless and keep you all safe.
This is where my family goes every year for a family reunion. It’s sad to see this happen to the island place hotel which is the hotel we stay at every year. The pool gates coming out of the ground hitting the building and the balcony’s in the rooms by the water being battered and coming apart. I hope they can recover from this by summer when we usually go.
There’s gators and snakes and possibly down lines in the water be careful
I was up at 4 and fell asleep watching this. I'm glad you are getting all your goals achieved and staying safe.
Reed Timmer is the greatest meteorologist and storm chaser in the history of modern weather. Period.
Thank you Reed for all you and your team do. We would know nothing if we had to rely on TV news media. RUclips is the best too. ❤️
You are the BOSS Reed . You just took people from the comfort of our couch into a real hurricane front row seat . There will never be another you. I don’t think the world could handle another one any way ❤please stay safe.
I hope everyones safe but also i really really hope that those people who keep saying weatherman’s always wrong have learned a valuable lesson.
Just makes me wanna 😢😢. I love Cedar key. Been there so many times. Prayers for the locals to recover from this.
Better video than the news channels.
My prayers are with everyone affected by this storm 🙏
💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪
I always think about small islands, and cedar key has my heart. This one elder man decided to stay, and his house is a one story. I can’t stop thinking about that person.
Why did he decide to stay?
@@daisy3869 he said because he loves his island, but I honestly think it’s more deeper than that. Some people cant leave due to how expensive people make hotels/places to stay
So sad 😞 🙏. I think you are right about why some people feel they have no choice but to stay.. they simply can’t afford to go anywhere! Even just the gas to get somewhere is expensive, then the price gouging hotels on top of that. Just a really sad situation. 💕🙏
He like had no where to go, no friends to go to, no car, no money. It's depressing
Think positive . We're 16 miles up the road ,south of Chiefland ....windy , rainy with strong squalls but we don't have to deal with surge here . As for keeping a positive outlook , if the guy has an older house that's well built and good drainage , might work out for him ....we have a small frame house down in Everglades City , built in 1928 ....when Wilma came through several years ago as a Cat 4 at landfall it wrecked Chokoloskee and we lost screen panels and a ceiling fan on the front porch . You just never know
Thank You Reed, for your service in this difficult time ❤🥰👍 Chris
Reed with the best storm surge content I’ve seen so far. Thank you.
No sleep 💤 here, been watching since last night… NJ
DANGER ‼️
Something no one ever talks about is that walking through a flooded street can kill you if the cover has come off of the sewer! 🆘
People have fallen right into the sewer, and been lost!
It’s very dangerous to walk through flooded streets for a number for reasons, but no one ever addresses the fact that the manhole covers can be dislodged!! 😳😱
The footage of those waves pounding the sliding glass door of that unit is insane! Every once in awhile I have a bad dream of living in one of those affluent homes on the coast in Malibu CA and the unit being overtaken by waves and falling into the ocean. But what do you expect from a native Californian? On a more serious note gotta feel for the Floridians and the insurance crisis being caused by these hurricanes. 😢
incredible.. amazing live stream Reed, thanks for all your hard work.. hope all is well with you today, take care
Reed Timmer - America's Storm Chaser, a true hero.
...or not.
@@lynnnelson6689your ma is no.
a real true idiot
@@joereidoutdoorsman.3136 what are you trying to say? (lol)
Not really but as long as you get the fizz thinking that, good job
Use some Kleenex to clean up yourself
This is why I don't live right on the coast in FL. We're just a few miles inland. We can get to the beach in just a few minutes, but it makes a huge difference in damage during a hurricane. Storm surge is the big destroyer.
Our home is reinforced concrete block, the roof is standing seam metal, the windows and doors are impact resistant and we have corrugated steel window covers. The garage door is reinforced with horizontal 2"x4" metal bracing and a vertical center I-beam. We have a whole house generator and plenty of fuel for it. Since 2015 we have had 5 hits from hurricanes and NO damage at all.
But storm surge could just wipe it off the foundation like child's play! With lots of free beach parking for residents, drive-on beach access for residents of the county for $25/year, and being only a few minutes drive...it isn't worth it to live that close to the water.
@@AnnaChristie-vp4ip Right. I don't get that. Walked around my house today. No damage. Etcetera.
I'll have to clean up some leaves and twigs before I mow the lawn.
Reed your the man! Thank you for being out there brining it to us first hand. I pray for your safety my friend. I also pray for anyone in the path of that storm. Be safe!
Yeah, Reed seems to be having a great time. I think he enjoys it.
REED! Stay safe. I know you will. Thanks for posting.
The debris in the water adds to the danger. Be careful, thanks for the great video.
Wow mother nature not happy! Stay safe Reed, watching from the UK
Reed, as usual you are utterly insane, and utterly mesmerizing to watch. Thanks for risking your neck once again to bring us this incredible footage!
Wow! Brings back memories of Hurricane Ian . When you were filming live on Macadamia in St James City Florida. Praying for all affected by this hurricane.
Wow, wow, I am shocked at this video, my Lord how much more can the people endure? Now there are Tornado warnings, so if water did not rip your property apart it can potentially fly up in the air.... Reed, you are a brave man for showing us this, the surge is incredible. I am just wondering how the insurances will deal with this, they could be broke by now.
I heard that most insurance companies are bailing out in Florida , because of the financial fallout to bail out hurricane victims .
Having waterfront property comes with a risk. Thank you for the video sir.
Prayers for All in its path, Stay Safe Mr. Reed ❤🙏🏻 So scary😢
Wow that storm surge is terrifying! Please stay safe Reed! Idalia is sure powerful. Mother Nature is scary.
Prayers from Canada that everyone is safe 🇨🇦🇺🇸 the damages are overwhelming.
Why do ppl continue to build their homes so close to the ocean? Be safe out there.
Hope all is as well can be expected and that no one has been injured.. thank you Reed for your work you do, keep safe!
You knew 2 days ahead of time that you were going to be dealing with what you dealt with. Keep on keeping on 👊🏻
I have to say this. You couldn't pay me enough to live in Florida. Holy crap. Lol.
You all are amazing for what you do reed. Thank you so much for what you do for us. Dominating and be safe out there guys.
That area of Florida hasn't had a major hurricane in decades
@sabishiihito That area of FL has never been hit by a hurricane of this size and magnitude. Or at least not during recorded history. I've lived in FL for 15 years, and Ian was the worst because we got a direct hit by the eye wall. That said, hurricanes are easy to avoid because you get notice of them. I wouldn't want to live in the Midwest where tornadoes can pop up without warning. That's way scarier to me, and I've ridden out a Cat 4 storm. Also, the pics and vids you see are always where the eye makes landfall which is usually a pretty small area. Yes it sucks to be without power for weeks, but relatively speaking, the worst damage is always to homes right in the shore. Living 12 to 15 miles inland, makes a huge difference.
knowing a hurricane is coming dont save your house from blowing away and no insurance left in the state to cover it lol@@CaptBirdBrain
I remember when Cedar Key was hit. Not this badly, I suppose. Lived in Florida 27 years.
Still safer than Cali 🤣
Stay safe in doing what you guys do so well. THANKS
Same . Love the info , but staying safe with while getting it is priority .
I have mad props for folks to continue to rebuild every time this happens. I would be one and done.
Your a brave man! Thanks for the coverage! You and the camera man!
Thank you Reed! Stay safe out there!
Reed & Crew- massive props to you.
Scary. My prayers to all that were affected from the storm. Hi from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. Brave of you to do that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We appreciate your bravery..just ensure you have safe back up and not get others in any danger
You’re a legend Reed!
Never stop chasing!! Thank you for what you do.
You get the best and most incredible footage. Stay safe and hope you get out of cedar key soon, stay safe.
I lost everything in Aripeka Florida... Absolutely crazy how quickly the surge came in. And was prepared to get out.
Reed you’re the BEST at what you do and have been for decades! Thank you so much for what you do in your research and educating the public of how awesome and dangerous Mother Nature is! Safe travels!!!
Please stay safe guys massive respect for you Reed and your crew
Great video! I’m in Florida but lucky my area wasn’t hit. My heart goes out to those affected.
OMG! so horrible,prayers for all being affected! Be safe Reed!
anyone who builds on coast knows its a temporary build. In a few years a hurricane will come through and destroy it. Its like a rich mans version of building sand castles.
Incredible reporting Reed!! 💛✨
Reed, you never fail to amaze us man! 🎉
As usual, great coverage of another extreme weather event! I love how Reed isn't afraid to get dirty, or up close and personal with the most dangerous weather conditions!
Hope he's got his tetanus up to date, walking around in all that funky grey water!
I always wonder if many of the Florida residents are asking themselves if it's really worth it to endure all the expenses associated with being inundated with flood water after these events.
Losing all of one's worldly belongings to the brutal storm surge must get old. Guess it's just part of the whole coastal Florida experience. I remember visiting friends in Bradenton Beach and walking around in roughly twelve inches or so of flood water after a brief rain storm. Guess it also really depends on what stage the tide is at when the height of the storms hit any given area. It's got to be really demoralizing for many, to experience such loss on a seasonal basis.
And I just relocated to Sarasota in April…we didn’t get hammered too bad at all. I guess it all depends on where the eye hits. And I’m not all that close to the gulf.
Have you ever seen in the eye of a hurricane? I was years ago and it came right over our home. We had green and purple lightning, and every home on our block was completely inundated with water except for ours. The water did get all the way into our garage though. I remember when we had to walk to the store, we were wading in water over our knees and ants were stinging us. Please be safe out there you guys.
yes!!! i live in the deep se corner of alabama. the eye going over is beautiful!!! but it's indicator that worse is coming. all those insects and animals that nest underground will latch onto anything and anyone when the high waters comd
Wtf kind of ants do you have in Florida that can swim!?
@@The_Quaalude When anthills get flooded, the ants come to the surface and will try to cling to and climb onto anything dry and above water that they can find, including people. And if they are fire ants, this is not a scenario you really want to deal with.
@@EvieDelacourt thank you for the explanation. I was wondering that as well.
You are correct and it’s scary! I’m from Louisiana. I was sitting outside on the porch and so were 10 other neighbors. We thought it had passed. They sky was beautiful!! All of a sudden you could see the dark clouds swirling FAST! We almost didn’t make it back inside the house! I couldn’t pull the class porch door closed. It broke and glass went everywhere. One neighbor almost fell running back inside. I had yelled “ oh crap! It’s not over get back inside NOW!” We had two hurricanes that year 2wks apart! We weren’t even close to finishing cleanup when the second one hit. It took 3 months for trash pickup. That hurricane lasted for HOURS!
Reed is ALWAYS in the middle of things!! Brave dude.
Sir, you are indeed a reckless man. You're as wild in Hurricanes as with tornados.
As a weather fanatic, I couldn't fathom the events you've seen first hand. And I've followed for well over a decade.
You're something else.
And your content is a vault of weather history seen in all its brutality.
👍
The Reed Machine is at it again!! Stay safe out there!
Wow! That is some insane storm surge happening there right now. Stay safe out there Reed & anyone else that might be in the path of this monstrous storm
Thank you for all of your great reporting Reed. Please stay safe as always🙏
We vacationed in Florida last summer and it's truly heartbreaking to see these people's homes being destroyed once again and for the Beautiful state of Florida. Praying for safety of all Floridians🙏🙏🙏
I was just down in the Southern keys in Marathon a few weeks ago. The waters were so warm, they had to be in the 90s, went to Bahia Honda state Park and I told my sister that if they were to have a hurricane soon, that it would be bad as they feed on the warm water and it could have been alot worse. But the season seems to just be getting started. Stay safe🌊🌊🌪️⛈️⚡
Hey Reed be safe out there and God bless you
Your filming is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!🎉It’s like being there!😊❤Please be SAFE❤❤❤LOVE to ALL❤❤❤
Man, Reed you are awesome. Coast to coast in a week covering this stuff. Gotta love it!
careful on them bridges! thankyou for the video. be safe out there. blessings
Great storm footage Reed! We've really dogged a bullet here in Spring Hill, last year with Ian and now with Idalia. But hurricane season isn't over yet. Along the coast, we still got some nasty storm surge on the Nature Coast with flooding up to RT 19. The officials were spot on with having mandatory evacuations for anyone living west of RT 19. Here in Timber Pines, we are literally on the East side of RT 19 and we were okay. Time will tell what the rest of the season will bring us.
WOW! Fantastic footage. You're in a dangerous situation too 😳 Thank you for taking this big risk to show us what it is like. Appreciate it very much. You are very kind to do this 🙏❤️🖐️🙏🥰❤️ Stay safe 🙏❤️🙏
I sure hope that everyone that needed to evacuate wherever those places are, were able to.
Y'all are on my mind and in my prayers for safe keeping. Including you Dr Reed and your fellow storm chasers. ☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Looks brutal, stay safe. According to wunderground Idalia become a Cat 4 briefly right before hitting the panhandle Gulf and is still raging as a Cat 1 through Georgia and Carolinas. Still looks like a monster on radar.
It's scary walking in that water. My family and I foolishly did it before. I used to just be afraid that a big tree limb might fall on me but I'm spooked about power lines now. During the last bad flood we had here a man was electrocuted. Also a friend of mine was walking along filming and fell down into a hole where a big grate was missing from the sidewalk. He's lucky he didn't get cut up badly. I really feel for the people Cedar Key. I used to go there and play music at Frog's Landing.
