Wow. Our good friends are in the RED Zone A in South Venice, and they refuse to leave. They're about 10 minutes from Caspersen Beach, and there is an inlet / river a couple blocks from their house.
I pray they make it through this hurricane, but I think the storm surge (from all that water around them) may destroy their house. Hope I'm wrong...
This storm is over 300 miles wide...
It will land a Cat 4 storm ....means catastrphic damages.
There is no place for the river water to go once this hits land so it will also flood.
Sorry to say but they’r going to hear the impact of Ian. Most who have been in a Cat 4 say they will never do it again.
