Quoted: Our friends on Bonita Beach had water up to their first floor ceiling 10' above the ground. Their pool deck/first floor is about 10 feet above sea level. Others on the Imperial River in Bonita got 4-5' of water in their back yard 2" in their house. So, not great/not horrible. Everyone we know west of 41 did ok. But, with all the damage in downtown Naples and north up to Vanderbilt Beach is gonna break the bank. Billions of dollars in homes from Port Royal (probably self insured) to Naples pier/3rd St./5thAve. are serious big money homes. Watch out for cheap lambos, RR/Bentley's and other high dollar cars for sale across the country.

No complaints at all tho, appears to be the extent and not at all as serious as some here or it could have been. |

Please see the following guide to federal resources available for Florida families and businesses now working to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Ian has devastated Southwest Florida, and continues to bring torrential rain and dangerous winds to Central and Northeast Florida today. This was a major storm and it demands a well-coordinated major response and recovery effort. Just as I have for the past week, I am continuing to be in constant communication with our mayors, law enforcement, utilities, business and community leaders and state and local officials to make sure we are getting them the help they need to assist families. As Florida’s U.S. Senator, I will be fighting to make sure that FEMA and the entire federal government is working in total concert with state and local officials so we can get resources deployed quickly. As governor, I oversaw the state’s response to Hurricanes Hermine, Matthew, Irma and Michael. FEMA was always a great partner to us during and after these storms, and I expect that to continue in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Families across our state are hurting, but help is on the way and Florida will recover. Sincerely, Image Rick Scott United States Senator __ See Senator Scott's Hurricane Preparedness Information webpage HERE.

A medida que la tormenta continúa afectando el Centro y el Noreste de Florida, el Senador Scott está hablando con alcaldes, policías, líderes comunitarios y empresariales, servicios públicos y funcionarios federales para garantizar que las familias y comunidades de Florida obtengan todos los recursos necesarios para responder y recuperarse de Ian. El Senador Rick Scott dijo: “El Huracán Ian ha devastado el Suroeste de Florida y hoy continúa trayendo lluvias torrenciales y vientos peligrosos al Centro y Noreste de Florida. Esta fue una gran tormenta y exige una respuesta bien coordinada y un gran esfuerzo de recuperación. Tal como lo hice durante la semana pasada, sigo en constante comunicación con nuestros alcaldes, las fuerzas del orden público, los servicios públicos, los líderes comerciales y comunitarios y los funcionarios estatales y locales para asegurarnos de que les estamos brindando la ayuda que necesitan para ayudar a las familias. Como Senador de los EE. UU. de Florida, lucharé para asegurarme de que FEMA y todo el gobierno federal trabajen en conjunto con los funcionarios estatales y locales para que podamos desplegar los recursos rápidamente. Como Gobernador, supervisé la respuesta del estado a los Huracanes Hermine, Matthew, Irma y Michael. FEMA siempre fue un gran aliado para nosotros durante y después de estas tormentas, y espero que continúe así después del Huracán Ian. Las familias de nuestro estado están sufriendo, pero la ayuda está en camino y Florida se recuperará”. Vea la página web de información de preparación para huracanes del Senador Scott AQUÍ. El Senador Scott insta a los floridanos afectados por la tormenta a permanecer en sus casas hasta que los funcionarios locales determinen que las condiciones son seguras. Manténgase actualizado con la información de los funcionarios locales de Manejo de Emergencias. Los floridanos afectados no deben regresar a sus hogares hasta que los funcionarios locales declaren que el área es segura. Lea más de FEMA sobre el regreso a casa AQUÍ.

Image Sens. Rick Scott & Marco Rubio Urge Biden to Approve Florida's Pre-Landfall Emergency Declaration Request Ahead of Ian On Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022, Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio sent a letter to President Biden in support of Florida’s request for a federal pre-landfall disaster declaration in anticipation of Ian. Read the full letter HERE or below. Lea en español AQUÍ. The Honorable Joe Biden President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Biden: We write in support of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration due to Tropical Storm Ian, which is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane and impact Florida in the coming days. Ensuring that the state has access to the federal resources it needs is imperative to protecting Floridians, property, and our communities. As such, we request that you promptly approve Governor DeSantis’ request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. __ Sens. Rick Scott & Marco Rubio Lead Colleagues Urging Biden to Approve Hurricane Ian Major Disaster Declaration On Thursday, Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, along with all members of the Florida Congressional Delegation, sent a letter to President Biden in support of Florida’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration due to Hurricane Ian. Senator Scott urges Floridians impacted by the storm to remain indoors until local officials determine conditions are safe. See the latest on Ian from the National Hurricane Center at nhc.noaa.gov or @NHC_Atlantic on Twitter, and from the Florida Division of Emergency Management at floridadisaster.org or @FLSERT on Twitter. Read the full letter HERE or below. Lea en español AQUÍ. September 28, 2022 President Joe Biden The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: We write in support of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ request for a Major Disaster Declaration due to Hurricane Ian, which is currently causing catastrophic conditions as a Category 4 major hurricane. Hurricane Ian’s historic size, sustained winds and dangerously slow pace, which stand to affect virtually the entire state, will produce significant flooding, massive power outages and widespread damage throughout Florida. As such, we request that you promptly approve Governor DeSantis’ request for a Major Disaster Declaration for all of Florida’s 67 counties. This historic hurricane will continue to impact the state for some time, and the full extent of damage will not be known for days. However, approving this declaration request will allow Floridians to be better prepared for the recovery phase. As such, we urge you to approve the State of Florida’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration, which will provide the assistance necessary for our constituents to recover and rebuild. Floridians are incredibly resilient, and with cooperation at all levels of government, we will rebuild stronger than ever. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. |

Quoted: Being in Tampa very thankful we were spared. Nothing in my neighborhood apart from some tree debris and about 36 hours without power. Gear that was especially useful: Generator (obviously) The 40 gallons of gas I keep on hand year round and rotate to keep fresh (didn't have to participate in the gas station rush) Streamlight wedge (this is my edc light but really shined during the storm) The several sams club brand led headlamps and lanterns I stashed through the house. (Obviously) Galco Miami Classic II with Glock 45 and two reloads (Easy peasy to put this on with flip flops and gym shorts while checking the generator vs getting more fully dressed with a belt and my usual ccw.) 5.11 vest (cover garment and handy place to stash stuff while puttering around) Case of Spaghettios View Quote Brandon area here. Wednesday was scary but no major damage. Fence down, lots of tree limbs and debris but no structural damage to the house. I am high so no worries about flooding. Lots of trees were down and most people were without electricity for awhile. Ours was out for 24 hours. Cable is even back now. I got a chance to test out my 2350 Wren generator and for the 20 hours I had it running it did good. Did not even used a gallon of gas keeping the refrigerator, lights and a few other things going. I had 30 galls of gas but only used less than one gallon. I have a small emergency window AC unit but didn't have to put it in due to the cool weather. You are right about having everything ahead of time. If you wait you may get screwed. Gas, propane, generator, water, batteries, extra food you can always stock up on ahead of time. You can rotate the gas into vehicle to keep it fresh. |
