42. Is Brad Arnold still sitting there? lol

My mother lived on Isle of Palms SC back in the mid 80's. I had already been storm chasing tornadoes in the midwest since high school with the advanced technology of the time, roll down the window, look and ya might get lucky lol. I had the map on the wall with thumbtacks tracking hurricane positions from HAM radio reports lol. I just happened to go down to SC for a visit the week Hugo came in, that was my first Hurricane. They owned Berts Bar out on Sullivans Island. It blew the roof off the bar and there was 3 feet of sand and pluff mud on the inside. The 2 pool tables were gone, never found them. We rode it out about 2 miles inland. It was nuts. I ended up living on the beach in FL and SC for the next 30 years. Chased hurricanes every chance I got, sometimes they chased me lol.

The technology from the sats to everything else we have today is amazing compared to what we had back then. Especially the modeling. It's getting really good just compared to 10 years ago. After Ida last year think my chasing days are done unless I absolutely have t, or I get to ride in a Hurricane Hunter lol.
