Quote HistoryQuoted: A rosery won't help them now. Sanibel is taking a direct hit from a CAT 4 verging on CAT 5. That's, more than likely, not survivable. Just incredibly sad and heart wrenching. Thinking about what going on inside them as I type this... chills me. Lol She'll be fine. |

I’m 99% sure I enjoyed lunch from that patio with my family last month. The Marriott Sanibel Harbour.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @ThornBooger - Yes, our primary house is on Sanibel. We're starting to establish a presence on the ARFCOM island which is inland a bit, but still in the hurricane strength windfield. The island is covered with old 100' tall oak trees, which are beautiful until a storm like this rolls in. Everyone has been evacuated from both. I honestly don't know if either will survive intact and be habitable. I don't know how else to say it but I'm in a position to replace property and recover without insurance - whereas most of the fixed income retirees are not. I had a safe place to flee and be comfortable. Most did not. I have heavy equipment staged for cleanup. Most people would think it's strange to sit here feeling great while my properties are likely being destroyed, but I consider myself very fortunate. I'm good. I worry about everyone else.... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: @BlackFox I thought I recall from one of your earlier threads about your yacht and morning situation that you lived right over where this thing is making landfall, am I mistaken?

Anyone heard/seen anything out of Venice? My mom texted to say the power went out an hour ago. Haven't heard back from her since.
I'm assuming cell towers are going down. |

My fields are flooded about three feet deep but my house sits on a little hill so it’s another 3-4 higher that any of the fields or pastures. I would guess winds over 100.

I would say we have had about 4" of rain so far. Tom Terry with rolled up sleeves just said "This is just the beginning".
Well no shit Sherlock, EVERYBODY is following this storm. Even Brevard County is under a Hurricane warning now, looking like we might even get the eye over us sometime tonight. Sober as a parking lot so far. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Good thing he’s so short. A couple summers back he was blocking my beach access to give a final send off after the storm passed. Me and my buddies had our surfboards and were patiently waiting for him to finish so we could go surf. He did a few takes and finally signed off. I was surprised how short he was when we walked past him. I guess that’s an asset when bolts are falling from the sky and looking for the high spots. |
