Florida did NOT have a good night last night.

Helene came in as a cat 4 hurricane @ 140mph.

Though we were on the "good side" of the hurricane and had minimal affects many weren't so fortunate.

I read where helicopters were evacuating people from the rooftop of a hospital in TN due to flood waters (forgot what city).

Here is a pic to give you some idea. If areas this far inland have this much destruction think how bad it is for those of us near the coast where the storms hit much stronger. Plus there is the storm title surge, usually around 20-30'.

Areas to the North of the coast suffered mostly from flood waters, reduced winds, and tornadoes spun off by hurricanes. It was reported in 1979 Hurricane Frederick (direct hit my area) spun off over 200 tornadoes.

Gotta love it.
