We even got some excessive wind in Chicagoland, which was obviously from the hurricane, because it was coming from the east. Normally, the wind here comes from the west.

Reminds me of youtuber LGR's latest video, he didn't prepare much because the storms don't normally reach that far inland, and unfortunately he had a lot of his collection damaged because 2 massive trees sliced his house clean in half. Makes me think that the midwest will soon get more populated due to its position away from coastlines

If you are ever fortunate enough to pay off your house DO NOT go without insurance because you can

Pretty much all home insurance doesn't cover hurricane related damages if you're on the east side of the US.
