Hey guys,<br /><br />I would like for you to take a look at this video about Hurrican Ivan. Some of the 911 calls you will here are from Grand Lagoon. I think 29 people died in Grand Lagoon when their homes were flooded or destroyed. Many of you may ask why they didn't evacuate; well, no one thought it would be this bad. We have all been through hurricanes and nothing like this has happened since Camille hit Mississippi in 1969. The day after the storm I kept new reports of missing people and bodies being found in Grand Lagoon, and two days later I was in Grand Lagoon as I was a driver for an investigator with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The destruction that I saw (and have lots of pictures of) was jaw dropping and utterly stupefying.<br /><br /> Hurricane Ivan Video
<br /><br />Storm surge kills more people than any of the other hurricane forces.. FACT!... <br /><br /> If you're in a low area and a storm's comming, GET THE HELL OUT, no matter what the weather forecast says... <br /><br /> Spending a few hours, or even a few days at a shelter, or a hotel, or with frends or family, has to be better than drowning...<br /><br />Season's commin' too... yuck.. <br /><br />Still alot of obvious damage around here too...
