Downtown Gulfport got flooded pretty good. Worst I’ve seen are docks floating around and one dock in a pool.
Mine have a special fondness for lizards. Any of them that wander into the covered patio are fair game.
Little Steinhatchee was surely under water.

I hope O’Maddy’s is ok. Great waterfront location.
It’s so bad here in the Lowcountry that local news hasn’t been able to air their normally scheduled anti President Trump programs. No worries, they’ll make up for it tomorrow. No calls for this storm was caused by global warming yet but I’m sure they’re coming.
A possible tornado flips a car not too far from me;
Today, the worst excuse for POTUS in history absolutely claimed the hurricane and the Maui fires were caused by climate change.
It ain't their first rodeo with a little flooding.
That’s for sure what reach.strong storm to cross dry land the way it did.
It(AI) almost seems like a natural for some weather forecasting. It’s data in and intel out. Pretty basic.
Frightful sight.
Power out on Edisto Island SC.
A few hundred feet more and the car could have ended up in the homeless camp that North Charleston pretends isn’t there.
Dang, brownies sound good about now.
Hoping you get your amps set up and functioning.
The dog lost- but got dried with warm towels then had a treat (carrot!)
Off to walk her now- breezy, dry and cool here- 80°.
Yep, but I do have a 3 day weekend coming.
Are all our Freepers safe and accounted for? I hate to think of Keaton..Steinhatchee..Cedar Key. All those old, hidden, small Florida towns. Wonder how Horseshoe Beach did...
GeorgiaDawg32 hasn't checked in since yesterday after evacuating to a hotel in Valdosta GA, which received a direct Hurricane Idalia visit.
Thanks for your local report. Please provide updates when you are able.
That would have been extra frightful.
421k with out power...we lost 500k in michigan last week from run of the mill thunderstorms...HISTRONICS....
