Why wouldn't she be? Because of several people in this thread saying she wasn't going to make it and the hotel being compromised. In all likelihood she'll be fine.  She's in a modern, concrete multistory building. She's going to be fine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Payers for everyone, including myself! Here in North Naples, power kept going off and coming back on within 10 seconds. At 12:30 it finally went off and hasn’t come back. Probably a dumb question, but when does the power company start trying to get power back on? I assume not until the storm has passed, but is there a wind speed threshold or something they use to determine when to start working on getting power back on? Two weeks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And they're saying winds are stronger on the back side of the eye. Peeps are in Placida, they are getting rocked. Smh. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Yeah, but you gotta go through the worst of the storm to be in the eye. Think of the eye as halftime and the game gets real intense before the final buzzer. Its also when you usually lose a lot of the trees. They have been getting blown one way while the ground gets soaked, then they are pushed in the opposite direction. Snaps or pushes them right over. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Eye wall right? So.. does the back side come back to kick em again? or does the storm dissipate enough by then? You take a beating for over an hour or two, then the eye goes over you and the beating stops and maybe the sun even shines for a short time, as the eye leaves the beating starts back up but the wind direction will have changed and this continues for another hour or two until it has tapered off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @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? Glad you're not in the danger zone now but hope your property isn't about to get smacked. @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.... |
