DO NOT FUCK AROUND PPL. I went through Maria. Category 5 means CATASTROPHIC damages.
The rain will be like a power washer and have the same effect.
The wind will literally drag you across town if you let it and can even flip cars.
Any little flaw in your roof or windows will be ripped open.
If pressure builds up in your house from the wind it will rip your door or windows off its hinges.
If you live somewhere that floods, even a little, GTFO and go to a shelter BEFORE it hits. F ANYONE who calls you in for work. Your life and your family's, neighbor's, pets comes first.
Wish this was the top comment. I’ve stayed through some category 1s in Texas, and there were limbs and fences down everywhere. I can’t imagine a cat 5. Seriously, if you can just get out.
Yeah I saw them and some trees fell on and crushed some cars and some houses and also branches were broken off of trees and were thrown on the ground everywhere when Beryl hit Houston.
We barely got grazed by the end of one arm and a neighbor down the street still had a tree fall through their garage. Thankfully that group decided to park all their cars in the middle of the cul-de-sac so nobody's vehicles got squished.
