This morning I was in Ft. Myers on the coast, where I spent 2+ days. I left at 7am today for Palm Beach County. SR 80 was wide open with no traffic - it was like a ghost town all through the state. LaBelle, Clewiston and Belle Glade are boarded up well. In my opinion Ft. Myers was not that well secured yet.
In PBC we still expect over 80mph winds at somepoint Sunday/evening. Curfews in effect tonight at 8pm. Traffic is light as nothing is open. Prayers up.
2 minutes 58? Yer slippin, NN. Guess I’ll let ya slide though.
Today’s your day!
All 72 hours of it!
You got this. I believe in you both. Water and a bit of wind. Deja vu.
I’ll be in and out, scanning the thread but maybe not deep reading it, so ping Freepmail if you need anything.
We got your back. Just holler.
Godspeed.
Absolutely. This forum has been a sanity saver. I keep directing my dad to it so hopefully he tunes in. It would certainly help him feel better. He actually broke down into tears when I called him Thursday afternoon. He’s so afraid for us. And he’s a retired, badass Detroit cop!
Tell ya what....I get more real time info from this thread than I could ever get from TWC. Thank the Lord for all you wonderful FReepers!
As far as Jackson MS for refugees.
Wise decision.
Tampa may be in for a rough ride.
Lol! Lol!
Shhhhh, don’t let Hollywood hear about this. They’ll certainly make man the villian.
LOL,I’m not really a big kayak or canoe fan either. But it’s getting bigger all the time. Gets in shallow and has a stealth quality about it.LOL!!
Ironically, before and after a storm can be really good fishing wise. Dropping barometer before the storm and debris fishing after the storm.
I’ve been wondering what the tides were doing when the hurricaine hits.
I was hoping it was not going to be a high tide. :-(
Just watch those videos of the tsunami that hit Japan, amazing how powerful they were even a few miles inland.

Shows storm rebuilding. The Cuban shore is barely visible just south of the eye.
Thats brilliant! A new movie series is born. Pythonado!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In this case, it might be “Pythonicane”!
SE Mom, you were in the To box on that last mail, but something went wrong.
Geez, the FOX reporter just asked if Florida would be more prepared than Texas. What a moron. TX Gov. Abbott was way out front of Harvey and had every agency mobilized.
Ugggh, I don’t like that last turn.
I’ve been watching hurricanes for years, and it seems like the eye will stay over water if it’s possible.
That is an example (small one but still) why I never watch TV. They can’t say or do anything without hatred and bias oozing.
It will be interesting to see how long that camera feed holds up.
