This book is oddly similar in power and track of this storm .
McDonald wrote after watching a very ugly condo going up near his place on Siesta key beach .
This track is right along the Beach Condos in Sarasota , Bradenton , St Pete Beach and Clearwater
Yes, I recall that. McDonald was a terrific writer, I read many of his books. I lived in Clearwater for a few years before coming to Orlando. I love the Gulf. We had a 25ft sailboat, spent many happy weekends messing around out there.
There are some ugly ones there.
My in-laws used to have a place there on Siesta Key.
We had some wonderful vacations there. Had to sell the place when they passed. Couldn’t afford it.
Siesta Key is in a bad way according to the storm surge map forecast.
