People have stayed behind in hurricanes forever, all you have to do is look at death tolls from hurricanes back then to know that people did, they just didn't have social media to broadcast their every move and for us to hear about every person that stayed behind while the hurricane is still going. Also, people have always believed in conspiracy theories too, that's nothing new either.
Hate to contribute to the off-topic posts, it just really bothers me when I see posts like that.
No offense bob, but the nature of my post wasn't to bother you. It was to tell the truth. I did. And we're getting dumber. Just the same, I'm very appreciative of those who put their lives on the line to bring the raw story. A lot of the chasers that post here are very experienced in what they do and bring the action home to the rest of us. I've stayed, I've evacuated. But to the original point, I'm not going to allow group think on social media to control my actions. "Oh, it's only a Category 2. I've been through way worse" only to see high tide up to your kitchen table. Anyway, I ended my post on it with a radar loop to actually get it back on topic. Here's another attempt:
Visible Satellite from NOAA. Can't seem to tell if there is a blowup nearest to the coast or if it's drifting slightly southwest.
