Just starting to sprinkle here in SE AL, but it looks pretty rough down in central Florida. __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | ||

Just saw some video on the news of the landfall. Hope all out FL members are ok. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

It’s so bad here, I just booked two tickets to New York City! It’s actually just fine right here, but I really did book two tickets to NYC. My wife is taking my daughter for a three day weekend and two Broadway shows for my daughter’s birthday. | |||

Turn on the Weather Channel and you would think the world is ending. Windy rainstorm made into national event. Of course if you were living on an ocenside condo on a barrier island things were not going well. | |||

We’re in St Augustine for vacation and my nieces wedding this weekend. Pretty much 40mph sustained winds since we arrived late Tuesday night. Just went in the ocean today and I’m not used to seeing waves like this. Edited to add some pics: This message has been edited. Last edited by: h2oys, | |||

Thank you Very little |
Last nights news was gloom and doom, Daytona was falling into the sea to become the new Atlantis, Jim Cantore was there, storm was pretty much a nothing burger. Lots of wind, branches down, there is flooding in areas since we still have 5 weeks of rain, covered by IAN's downpour to deal with. Other than that, some wind, some rain, now gone... | |||

Citrus Springs (North Florida West Coast) 2 1/4" rain, some wind. A bullshit storm for us. Awake not woke | |||

Just for the hell of it |
A friend of mine just outside Orlando sent me a video as she wadded through her backyard. No wind issues just lots of water there. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Wet but fine 30 miles west of Orlando. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

We had the eye pass over us . Really for us not a big deal. The coast ? Have not seen yet. Very dry Hurricane with minimal wind here. Power was down from noon yesterday till around noon today. Generators are a marvelous invention!! So is having a dedicated a/c window unit in our sleeping quarters. Think next year it will be time to upgrade to a whole house generator and replace our windows with hurricane proof units. The shutters just get to be more of a hassle ever time they go up as I age. Also the existing windows are single pane glass from 73. | |||

Windy, maybe 55 mph, and rainy here in Winter Park. A few fronds down, but overall unscathed. No quarter .308/.223 | |||

Was in Tallahassee working on Thursday. Left there at 4:30pm to drive home to Orlando. The drive on I-10 was fairly windy, but I was still doing 70 mph. The wind let up on I-75, and it was done raining when I hit Gainesville. By the time I hit the outskirts of Orlando, the roads were already drying out. At home there is a little bit of tree debris, but nothing too bad. The people who are going suffer are the areas where there was flooding from Ian. If those areas re-flood.... | |||

I am 15-20 minutes south west from Disney. This time around had to shore up the fence again from the damage from the last storm. Other than that, so far, only yard clean up this weekend.

I'd rather have luck than skill any day |
It's over the metro Atlanta area now. Light rain, breezy and cooler. We needed the rain. The wind will blow off most of the remaining leaves that haven't fallen yet. Reckon we'll have some yard cleanup to do this weekend. No loss of services overnight or today. Largely a non-event up here... | |||

Ormond Beach right north of Daytona. It was nothing for us. Wind and rain, added about 6 inches to the pool. Our beaches took a pounding though. Bunch of houses and big condo buildings on beach front are either destroyed or going to be condemned. We are about 6 miles inland. I wouldn’t own beachfront property with a gun to my head. | |||

Thank you Very little |

Barrier islands are not meant for residential living. | |||

I grew up on the Jersey shore. I could never understand people building multi million dollar homes on the beach. They would build the homes, put up no trespassing signs on "their beach" then as soon as a storm would remove "their beach" they would scream that the Army corps of engineers had to pump sand back to save their home. The view is great till a storm is coming. Same thing as living on an island, nice to visit till a storm is coming. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
