Thank you for checking in. Please provide updates as you are able. Godspeed through the storm.
I am sitting between Matanzas River and the Atlantic.
River is up about 4 feet. Its never came over the wall praying it doesnt.
The Atlantic is screaming I am guessing 10 foot waves now. they are saying could be 24 feet according to radio. this is already bad washing the beach out.
Check out u tube videos (there is a lot) in Daytona durning Ian, the ocean went behind the seawalls....some high rises have already been evicted...
That's a pretty narrow strip of land. Kind of like a barrier island. What's the elevation?
I am not sure but what I figuared is this spot is about 8 feet above sea level I could be wrong. Never flooded never hit since 1973 that I know of. Hope its not our turn...
A beautiful location during nice weather!
My husband just asked me if we should evacuate?
I can’t even believe this is coming.
As a crow flies, we are maybe 20 minutes from the beach.
I volunteered at the precinct today…..we had to take the canvas off the tent……strong strong winds
Evacuation is recommended for the following groups:
Residents who live on the barrier islands, including areas from Kennedy Space Center south beaches, and Merritt Island
Residents in mobile homes or manufactured housing
Residences in low-lying, flood-prone areas
Any residents with special medical needs such as electrical dependence

Well, alrighty then.
Hurricanes are really annoying.
Almost as bad as getting shot at.
5.56mm
When the immature hard-as-rocks sea grapes are firing at the house, it is absolutely machine gunfire.
Exactly...
...and being cannon fodder from the neighbor’s untrimmed coconut palms =o)
...not to mention cement roof tiles. Bye bye car windows, body panels and outdoor jungle gym
...ok...I made have made up the part about jungle gym
Coconuts! Took a boat ride after Hurricane Ian. There were coconuts floating all over the place. Very glad none of the neighbors have coconut palms. Cannon fodder is a great description.
Sea grapes, ack.
A soda straw will penitrate a palm tree just like a coconut will go through a window
I hate sea grapes.
5.56mm
Random falling trees. Like artillery. Can’t tell where they’re landing.
Marietta GA is some 600 miles from the sea. 1000 foot elevation. Lost 4 people in hurricanes when trees fell on them while driving.
