Well, members like Ray here and few others who live in Florida and Texas and the surroundings have experienced first hand devastations from hurricanes.
We all have friends or relatives who lost everything from heavy winds and floods and fires. When we do, we understand the pain and the suffering of losing loved ones.
Florence is huge and powerful, the winds are already there, and the rain in few places.
You can Google it. I am astonished by the pictures taken from space, by the size, the sheer enormity of it. The houses and the humans down below you can't even see them; they are the size of minuscule grains of sand, a small fraction of one. It doesn't take a drawing to figure out the consequences, we saw in Texas, in Puerto Rico, in Florida.
And if Florence stalls on the eastern coastline with category 3 or 4 winds, even 2, with her size it won't be nice with all that water, rain, floods, roofs taken out, roads and trees ripped apart, etc. Electricity gone, gas gone, food gone, shelters gone, .... some people are going to lose their homes, others their lives. I hope not, but those pictures show a real monster there.
