My Dad and Stepmom are in Bonita Springs, about 9 miles inland.
They were fairly confident not fo get storm surge there, just rain and wind.
They still had power at 345 pm yesterday at their last text update then nothing since. Anyone know how East side of Bonita Springs is doing? Am hoping they just ate unable to get through by text or calling for now. They are on pretty high ground. Even with Irma they just had water over their road in front but not to house.
Update they are doing ok. Everybody waiting for first daylight to survey their areas.
My brother-in-law has a place in Bonita Springs, about 2 miles inland in a red evac zone. As of late last night he said he thought it wasn’t as bad as it could have been and that they’re on somewhat higher ground. He’ll know more later today with the light of day. It’s his second home and he’s relying on reports from local friends until he can get down there to deal with it all himself. He had hurricane damage a few years ago and I think he was pretty shocked at how much had to be fixed after a ‘minor hurricane’. Once the power went out, humidity in the house and major systems created a lot of mold and algae problems.
