Also in Cape Coral, just off Country Club not far from the municipal complex.
My experience so far seems to be much like Wilma in 2005 — howling wind and rain, annoying as hell, but never lost my electricity. Lanai got wet but it gets wet during any big thunderstorm, so that’s no big deal. We will have to see if there’s any damage tomorrow, but the lanai is intact and that was my biggest worry.
Feeling mighty relieved and mighty blessed right now.
That's incredible. We live in a heavily wooded section of north-central Connecticut. When a stupid acorn falls off one of our oak trees, we lose power! (SLIGHT exaggeration)
Praying for the safety of all FReepers in Irma's path...
