Has anybody heard fron @libertybele?  I imagine she has no cell phone service.

I don't know where she exactly is, but she sadly lamented about '04 Charley.  I did hear today, that Ian incredibly hit the exact spot Charley did.

And, she mentioned she might be riding it out.  Definitely all need to pray for her safety.

Naples--



That is an amazing example of storm surge.  Inundation is coming in so quickly it is creating white caps.

Monstrous EIGHTEEN FOOT storm surge swallows Fort Myers and leaves hundreds of families clinging to their rooftops: Record-breaking Hurricane Ian leaves one million without power and sends tsunami of flood water crashing up West Coast

Horrifying footage showed wave after wave smash the small city of Fort Myers, swallowing buildings and cars
It sees the 'unsurvivable' torrent of water engulf palm trees in the tropical resort and rip some from their roots
The tempest was forced forwards by 155mph winds - only the fifth storm in history to smack land at that speed
Meanwhile Naples and Sanibel Island were also rocked by the 'historic' hurricane, with houses overwhelmed
Across the state 1,103,460  homes saw blackouts and Ron DeSantis said he expected it to be millions

And, she mentioned she might be riding it out.  Definitely all need to pray for her safety.

We had reservations twice out of here then cancelled as they predicted north FL first, then Tampa, now they are predicting a Cat 4 to be right on top of us with a high storm surge.  So praying.  Our neighbor next to us (I finally met him) is staying and our neighbors next to them are also staying. They had mandatory evacuations but we were not included in that evacuation but we are still vulnerable.  Lots of FL is vulnerable.

We have all the windows shuttered with hurricane code compliant shutters, garage is hurricane compliant and stained glass front door is supposed to be hurricane resistant so, we'll soon find out.  Home is 5 years old and hopefully was built to current hurricane codes.

So.... bracing for impact and praying.

Yes, TB has dodged a bullet -- they will see minimal storm surge and maybe a Cat 1

I am much further south and I am bracing for impact @catfish1957

I will touch base when I can -- we are supposed to see the worst tomorrow around noon until middle of Thursday.  We have a solar charged radio and cell phone charger.  The last hurricane took out a couple of cell towers, so who knows.

Thank you for prayers.  happy77 :beer:

Naples has unprecedented surge, likely inundating the bottom floor of the most expensive properties.  Marco Island is bound to be in the same position.  Cape Coral is a town of 190,000 built on a network of canals.  I don’t know where insured losses will rate in comparison to Harvey, but it will be the all time worst for Florida.
No problemo.....just sue the oil co's that caused the climate change that created this storm.  Don't believe me?  Just turn on any new station....

Really? Are any blaming oil companies? Haven't heard that so far? Disgusting if true.

Neither the National Hurricane Center or local weather stations are giving any definitive information.  They are all saying it's too early to tell.  We in this area have a new doplar 3X that's supposed to be very accurate -- all they are saying again is it's too early to say anything.

Seems like a later than normal hurricane season.

MSDNC has broken away from their non-stop 'Jan 6 / Trump' propaganda just long enough to showcase Florida as a horrible place to live.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Wild video shows shark thrashing in surge waters of Hurricane Ian as storm bombards Florida


Quote


A SHARK has been filmed swimming in the rising flood waters of Hurricane Ian, terrifying onlookers and viewers alike.

A video shared on Twitter Wednesday captured the creature as it thrashed against the surge waters off Fort Myers Beach while Florida gets bombarded by the storm.

    I suppose the Media will wait till morning, when Ian leaves Florida, to concentrate on the Looting.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
