  1. I saw Ryan Hall Y'all's stream yesterday and he went live earlier than planned due to the tornadoes that came ahead of the hurricane and several folks were killed/injured just from those, let alone the hurricane itself. Significant flooding in many areas and high winds and for those that say a cat 3 is a nothing burger, it's still pretty significant hurricane. Yes, it did officially hit Cat 5, then dropped to a 4, and 3 by landfall. At that point, still 100+MPH winds. I think with daylight we'll see the extent of the damage first hand and reassessments will begin. Sad a lot of trolls in the comments.

  2. You must be a troll. They did up building codes a number of years ago for hurricanes as was the entire building code for the entire country, based on areas where major weather typically take place. Where things fall down is older buildings not upgraded to newer codes and being on/near major coasts/waterways

  3. I'd say, that's all you can hope until one gets out there to investigate. When this story was being filmed, it was still very early and the sun had not risen so one had no way of knowing the extent of the damage just yet.
