My CSR lives in Tampa / Ruskin area, said tree down in yard but never lost power. Doesn’t sound that bad there, is the damage as bad in SW Fl as anticipated?

Well Ft. Meyers Beach, Sanibel, and that beautiful area was 6' under water the last I saw. So I'm guessing yes :lol:

Power came back around 1 am, and still on. Today is supposed to be the bad day, though.

Is it? It must have stalled overnight.

That's what they were saying, but it is moving offshore pretty quickly. Weather channel radar says rain should be gone by 2 pm.

Fucking hell. I just looked at the radar. We didn't even get any rain really. My plants needed some fucking rain. It completely missed us. Wow I have some leaves on the ground.

He haven't gotten a ton of rain, just wind. Neighbors tree fell over my fence across my driveway and on the other fence, pretty clean hits, not on posts so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
 
Stayed up till 3am for the eye wall. Maybe 60 mph with gusts higher. Woke up at 9 am still in the eye. Now blowing 40-50 on the backside. No issues although I hear there us a lot of flooding nearby. Only a brief power outage. Thank you FPL!!!

Have they started a death toll yet?

The local sheriff says hundreds of fatalities, but they haven't really gone looking yet.

He has no idea, they had 400 calls for help that they couldn’t get too, and he says there’s hundreds of deaths. He should be beaten in town square.

It’s just a bunch of old yanks that are too dumb to leave. Was that too insensitive?

i think if people stayed for the adventure or laziness its okay to mock them. I feel bad if they were too poor to easily leave ala Katrina.

I think its okay to have a conversation that maybe some areas like floodplains below sea level and barrier islands maybe shouldn't be rebuilt.

Hard to say. They would have gotten hit a good bit anyway, but it did turn earlier than it was supposed to. And it jumped pretty quick in strength. It wasn’t supposed to be that bad and by the time they said it would, roads would be so jammed they’d have drowned in their cars. That area really hasn’t seen a real hurricane in 50 years. They just get brushed by. Everyone assumed it would just go on up to Tampa like it has historically done (in our memory).

The woman I’m currently talking to is from a town a few miles north of Ft Meyers and she told me the stories her family told her today. Didn’t sound like a pleasant experience a few miles inland either. Apparently they lost nearly every head of cattle on the ranch.

Charley hit that exact spot in 2004.

That's what I thought, but they live in Punta Gorda and she lived there during it and insists it wasn't a big deal. :beatsme:

Maybe because Charley was a tiny storm compared to Ian. Wednesday the enws did a comparison and the entirety of Charley fit inside the eye of Ian.
 
It is weird how Katrina was all bush’s fault not the lax corrupt state and local government (didn’t the mayor go to jail) but the media is already looking to blame desantis
