Hi. Finally got internet service thru my 5G here in Cape Coral. Most of my neighbors rode it out as did we. No inside damage. Lots of outside damage though. Be we made it through thank God. Seeing pictures for the first time this morning. We had one of those battery powered emergency radios which was the best purchase we ever made. It was our only contact with the outside world. I will never forget the feeling og the house rattling and shaking and the frightening sound of the wind howling and whistling. It was non stop and relentless for six hours. We spent the last two nights listening to people calling in to radio with their horrible storm stories. Still no power or water. I heard they have to rebuild much of the power grid in Lee county. My neighbor’s pool cage flew off and ended up on their roof. Shingles and solar panels strewn all over the neighborhood. Palm leafs and downed trees up and down our street. Yesterday was clean up day. With the sounds of generators and chain saws. Even the radio has moved on. Back to music and sports this morning. Gave generator a break last night as it’s still impossible to get gas. My husband is a cancer patient. Hoping treatment center will be back soon so he can continue immunotherapy. I heard Lee Memorial Hospital has no water. That’s my story. Glad to be back on FR. Haven’t read through the stories yet but I hope everyone here made it out ok. We fared better than most.
