I did a quick search and came up with 10 foot elevation. That sounds about right as an average. We have a loved one with a place in Bonita Springs that's 2 miles from open ocean and about 1-3/4 miles from the bay. I doubt he's at 10 feet elevation. The house is pre-Andrew. I think he'll be mighty glad it's not his primary residence.
A lot of people and animals will need help after Ian is done with them.
We have another set of acquaintances that have a huge house on Marco Island. It’s solid construction, but they’re going to take some damage too.
