Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone know how the Orlando area is right now? Like around Sea World and in Lakeland area? Also, is the turnpike ok? Which turnpike? Polk Parkway has been wide open. Lakeland seemed pretty good except for the SE side I noticed businesses closed and power out. I have family towards Kathleen (NE Lakeland) side that don't have power still, but I was able to get ethical free gas just south of Kathleen yesterday without much fuss. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In-laws are attempting to head back to Siesta Key today from North Central FL. I’m telling MIL to cutover to the Villages (or Brooksville via 50/98) then take 75 down to Siesta. She thinks 75 above Tampa will be a jam-packed shitshow. Due to I-75 being shutdown from the Myakka flooding ( https://www.winknews.com/2022/09/30/i-75-shutdown-in-north-port-due-to-myakka-river-overflow/) authorities are offloading 75 traffic south traffic via detour @ Brandon (across 60 to 98) —-but it sounds like she can still stay on 75, bypass the detour and ride down to Siesta. MIL is thinking take 27 down to 60 then cutover to 75. My thought is 60 is gonna be a shit show either way with all the traffic being offloaded from 75 to it. Thoughts for those in the area and those who have traveled or seen either lately? If she takes 27 she should think about taking 27 down to SR 64, SR70, or SR72 Straight shot to Siesta from 72. If she takes SR 64 or 70 she may have to go through some intersections without stoplights. Siesta should be fine. SRQ still has power outages. We were very lucky here. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a feeling that when the dust settles on this, I will lose everything. The economy was in shambles before this and we were barely hanging on. I don't think I will have work for months after this. Sick to my stomach and trying to put a brave face on for the wife and kids. You will find work. Might not be what you want but you can survive. This is coming to this whole country. You are just getting a early start at it. I wanted to retire in a few years and I know now that I will most likely work till I die. It’s not that I’m not prepared it’s that the uncertainty of our future compels me to stay working in case of that total loss. If you have your family you have everything. The rest you can build up. |

Sick to my stomach and trying to put a brave face on for the wife and kids. @GriswoldGuns As depressing as this event is & as much as I share your thoughts I'm not sure we it will be as bad as you think. Charley spawned an economic boom in my AO & we had work, plenty for 4 years. I too have a wife & 4 children but my kids are all grown & dealing with this as adults. Show leadership to your clan & just take on what you can handle at the moment. We have a plan to work on clean up from the house out. If it's not important, we leave it alone. My yard will look like no man's land for many months. I don't know what kind of work you do but my company was actively looking for people. Commercial construction & I know we will be looking for more help now. Every legit contractor will be employed to rebuild not only the public infrastructure but the private sector as well. You will get through this. It has been nothing short of amazing how even this online community has stepped up to help those in need. The phone calls, offers for resources from the membership here make me hopeful for a full recovery. I have one more task to get done at my place then I plan to give help back to my neighbors & community moving forward. My IM's are checked regularly here. If I can help you please don't hesitate to reach out to me or anyone else for that matter. |

FPL update for those that didn't get the email. Looks like it's going to be a while around my area. They will hopefully have an estimate for an up time today. Yowsa. Off to spend money on supplies. I'm heading that way sometime tomorrow...
Hurricane Ian Restoration Update As you know, Hurricane Ian battered Florida for more than 72 hours, unleashing catastrophic winds, unprecedented storm surge, significant flooding and numerous tornadoes. Since then, our teams have been in the field assessing damages and working around the clock to restore power. To this end, we now have estimated times of restoration for some affected areas. The timeframes provided are based on worse-case scenarios, and it’s possible power will be back on sooner. Here’s what we have so far: •Alachua, Martin, Indian River, Putnam, St. Lucie and St. Johns counties will be 95 percent restored by end of day Saturday, Oct. 1. •Brevard and Okeechobee counties will be 95 percent restored by end of day Sunday, Oct. 2. •Flagler, Seminole and Volusia counties will be 95 percent restored by end of day Tuesday, Oct. 4. •Charlotte, Collier, De Soto, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Lee, Manatee and Sarasota counties are still being assessed for damages and we expect to provide estimated restoration times by end of day on Saturday, Oct. 1. •Baker, Bradford, Broward, Clay, Columbia, Hardee, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Nassau, Palm Beach, Suwannee and Union counties are considered essentially restored. In the hardest hit areas, crews are dealing with extensive flooding, downed trees, and other debris, which makes it harder to restore service. Rest assured, we have a workforce of nearly 20,000 and we will not stop until every customer’s power is back on. We thank you for your patience and we ask you keep safety at the forefront. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’d say 70 and or 72 are both out of the question. Sadly, here is a photo of where they intersect: I think that's the Sunoco station in the photo:  Attached File Attached File

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am in auto insurance and we will lease land somewhere close to have vehicles towed to and then slowly auction them off later as the auction facilities can handle. I remember after Harvey the insurance compaies leased Royal Purple Speedway in Baytown. There were houndreds of thousands of vehicles staged there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a feeling that when the dust settles on this, I will lose everything. The economy was in shambles before this and we were barely hanging on. I don't think I will have work for months after this. Sick to my stomach and trying to put a brave face on for the wife and kids. Your family will be in my prayers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never lost power. It did a quick blink once, but that was it. No damage around that I can see, just yard debris. No rain or wind right now. Pinehurst seems to have come out pretty well. I really don't miss the coast. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It's only a footnote to the Florida story; but the damage is continuing tonight in NC. It's up to 375,000 out of power in NC as trees are coming down on houses, streets and powerlines. It looks like most damage is in the corridor between Greensboro and Raleigh stretching back south to the landfall in Georgetown, SC. Family is out of power for several hours while I've been lucky so far with just some flickers on and off. The temp is 53 here west of Winston - kind of strange for a TS. It should be clearing north into VA by morning. that I can see, just yard debris. No rain or wind right now. Pinehurst seems to have come out pretty well. I really don't miss the coast. Just got power back on in my area, went about 20 hours without. Spent the day helping neighbors cut up and haul off downed trees. Now I just need to do a few repairs to my fence. Glad it wasn’t too bad here and grateful to have good neighbors that helped each other out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thankfully any minorities in that area will get aid.... If not, they're screwed per VP Harris. That was a trailer park. Low income white people and fixed income white old people. They don't count in the current new America. The country we grew up in is gone |
