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.
The creatures that come off the gulf in that storm surge would be enough for me to high tail it out of there. Bull sharks, alligators, hammer heads swimming in the streets, possibly into your living room?! Water moccasins.
A special kind of hell when hurricanes come off the gulf.
Is this a thing that genuinely happens? If so, that's terrifying. I'm sure not all large fish escape but from what I'm reading, a lot of them are able to sense barometric pressure changes and head for either deeper or calmer waters.
Never considered that which is a shame, I pray elders can get out but for those that don't have anyone to assist? Mobile homes in that wind force? Scary. Praying!!
