I live on a farm in Alva, about 20 miles inland from Ft. Myers. Lots of live oak hammocks and some pines. Though maybe not quite as far inland as you, I always thought we were far enough inland that we would miss the really strong winds.
Irma took a right and headed north northeast at Marco Island, traveled 60 miles north (over land) making a beeline right for Alva. Our little town got the northwestern wall of the eye, strongest part of the storm. Just 7 or 8 miles west of us, towards Ft. Myers, the wind wasn’t nearly as strong. We actually had 150mph gusts coming thru our pastures. Lost many trees. Big ones. Took me all day with big saws to clear a path wide enough to drive a car out. 3 weeks without power. I’ll be happy if I never, ever have to go thru that again. Still haven’t fully recovered/cleaned up.
We're still kind of waiting to see where this thing well head before we do a bunch of preparation on our farm. Only so much you can do anyway. Making sure our generator cranks is a priority and have some extra gas to run it. Fill the tub with water and all the jugs we can find. Store any loose items outside to keep them from becoming projectiles.
And then we wait. Good luck to you on this one.
But aren’t you glad you had a generator.
