When we came down in June the main walkway at lover’s key was being worked on; I’d imagine both are down now. Lover’s key is my happy place, and the place where someday my ashes (along with my angel fur babies) will be. Our daughter was married at Bowditch. So many memories; to be honest today I feel as if I lost my best friend. Our home was on Linda Loma.
I love Parrots Key, also the place next door (which has changed names at least 3 times that I know of over the years, now think it’s Shrimp Basket). We currently RV (the way my husband bought me off to move lol) and stayed at Ebb Tide/Oyster Bay across the street from Parrots. The park was for sale, so I doubt the owner will rebuild it. We were supposed to return next June, with the goal of finding a mobile home for vacations near Iona. We had seen a few on Zillow but wanted to see in person. We definitely need to get together when we come down. Please feel free to message me.
stayed there, nice place, the bar there under the Blue top is awesome. I’ve even been in that pool.
Yup, it happens.
Yesterday here was supposed to be mostly sunny and we had showers about every hour on the hour.
It was frustrating as I was counting on getting my laundry done and usually hang it out.
Having lived in CNY and WNY, and being no stranger to lake-effect snow, you do learn to not take the weather forecast as gospel. It’s a forecast, not written in stone on Mt Siani.
Causeway is only means connecting the Island to mainland.
This photo breaks my heart. This is where we used to launch our kayaks (near Bunche Beach).
I think that the part that was “higher” than the rest.
The only showers here in SE Tennessee are my sprinklers - I paid a LOT of money for grass seed and fertilizer to overseed, and I’m not going to let it die an early death.
We’re originally from Cleveland too. That guy was a staple on channel 8 (?) I believe.
Bare foundations... two blocks from the beach... in Ft. Myers.
While that’s terrible for the owners, it may actually be good news for the entire surge area.
Here’s what it looked like before: https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/rswsb-marriott-sanibel-harbour-resort-and-spa/photos/
It takes a lot, especially for a Florida engineered structure like that to collapse from the storm. I have to wonder if this may get reclassified, eventually, as a category five. Either that, or it was because of its slow moving status.
Well it was just 2 miles short of Cat5 so I don’t se any differnce...it was that when it hit. Basically is based on wind more than storm surge.
That story makes me SICK to my stomach!!
Thumbs up and God Bless
