See that is a wise choice.

I left on my bike and rode to my daughter's house.

Important part is you were safe and sound.

I cannot imagine why anyone would stay in a place that's under sea level. That just does not compute to me. I've lived through several hurricanes. Evacuated when they thought Charley was going to hit us head on--it turned and missed. Hunkered down through several lesser storms. But I'm 20 ft above sea level--under sea level, forget it.

The fact that I can't swim should give you a clue as do what I would do.

Wheels good to hear from ya'll.
Really?You run from a minor deluge?What kind of Texican are you?

What happens if a tumbleweed rolls by,everyone runs screaming?

You'll eventually become good at floating:thumb:

Would you stay there? would you stay there and not have any supplies What would you do

Stay in the lowland ghetto,get free federal disaster money,food,trailer,and even more free money to rebuild in the ghetto on sites most cities would not permit.

.....then go to rent-to-own and buy a 60" TV.

.....then go to rent-to-own and buy a 60" TV.Well at least you are honest.

I lived in N.O. for about 10 years, we left for major storms. Anything Cat 1 or higher. Now I live about 15 feet above sea level, we stay unless it's going to be a cat 2-3 or worse... we just sat through Cat 1 Isaac (the backside of the storm is still whistling outside as I type this) and it wasn't bad at all. Of course, I don't live in the marsh where everything floods.

I grew up here, sat through many Cat 1 and 2 storms as a child, they don't scare me much anymore. As long as I'm 15+ feet over sea level, and the winds aren't approaching 100MPH, we're pretty much prepared.

That minor one (IKE) had 110 mph winds.
My old house rated for 100mph winds and I live 4 blocks from a large creek that floods.

Come on down for the next one.
You can baby sit the house.

Would you stay there? would you stay there

Only if you were stuck on stupid. I can think of one exception though.

If you live in Calpatria, CA (184 feet below sea level), near the Salton Sea, and there is a hurricane barreling up the Gulf of California, I probably wouldn't worry. The mountains surrounding the Gulf are fairly high on both sides and the hurricane will probably get choked. Most importantly though, I'd make sure I wasn't in the lowest spot in Calpatria.

Almost like standing on a train track while a train is comeing and some one says to you hey a train is comeing and you stay on the track

I'm in the process of getting the household closed, and will be living AT sea level by October. I'm planning on spending the next year or two or forever, living the nomadic life. We're moving onto a boat and are planning on Coastal Fla and the Caribbean......maybe for good.

View from the wind map. Also some stuff happening in upper mid-west, wild!

My underwater base has never been affected by hurricanes. However, I mostly use the subterranean base, as it's easier to expand. There's also less chance of flooding, if an experiment goes bad.

How about living on a fault line, or in a tornado alley? Is it different?

Or in a forest fire danger zone.

I've never understood it either...cultural history be darned.

But not only is it under sea level, it's along the sea (as opposed to a depression in the middle of the continent, which would be a lake, and no one lives IN a lake--even an island is above water level at some point).

The media over-hypes this stuff. Very few hurricanes actually result in major damage. If you are from the area you just deal with it. However, New Orleans is the world's largest bad-neighborhood. The whole place is a dump. Don't know why anyone would chose to live anywhere near that place.

So let's talk about bikes and storms. Y'all remember when Houston was threatened, and there was the mother of all traffic jams as cagers fled the city? OMG 20 mile traffic jams! Boo hoo! People stuck for hours.

Jams that a fit cyclist could blow past assuming he wasn't mugged by a jealous cager.

The Salton Sea gets all that nice wastewater from Tijuana full of nutritious heavy metals and salts that make Hexavalent Chromium look tasty.

If you live on a fault line-odds in your favor,mud slide or fire will get you first.
Tornado alley-dead meat if you're living in a trailer.
Below sea level-living on cheap temporary land no one else wants(the ghetto).

Most people will not live where you look up to see a boat go by.

Yep

No wonder Glenn Campbell croons about that area:thumb:

he's less likely to criticize....

well, it's drying up anyway. Soon they'll be setting land speed records on it.
