@SuziqLeathers I don't want to stick around for any of those. Great simulation.
@nursefrombirth @SuziqLeathers REALLY frightening is a museum on The Great Storm on Galveston. There is a theater presentation with simulation overlaid with dramatic diary entries from people who experienced it firsthand.
Zero warning in 1900. One little girl somehow survived her entire house being blown/floating out to sea. The whole house.
@nursefrombirth @SuziqLeathers I should add we are lucky no debris was blown our way. Our windows can take the wind of a Cat 1, but not a piece of debris going that speed.
@nursefrombirth @SuziqLeathers Meh, been through a few now. far enough inland that it is Cat 1 or Cat 2 at most.
Downed trees are the worst of it. Had our fence destroyed and some trees split. Needed a new roof with missing shingles, but never any leaks.
Worst experience of it was power outages. 15 days for Ike 10 for Beryl.
Oklahoma gets worse damages from tornado outbreaks, and you can't see those coming to plan.
