Our place is in Cape Coral (close to Ft. Myers, Gulf Coast) and we haven't been down since this past March, the "H" shutters are up and everything is locked up tight, we were planning on driving down at the end of this month for the Winter, but if we get hit hard I'll wait a few days and fly down and survey the damage to see what's focked up before I drag the Wife and doggie down, I'd rather be down there myself to get any repairs needed.

Prepare for the worst and pray for the best, we should know something by Sunday, please pray for the 20 million people in Florida and surrounding islands.

AJ good to see you buddy. This shit scares the fuck out of me. I hate wind, hate it.

Hope you guys are okay and all the other Floridians who have to deal with this.

[ChumpChange]

Beer is stocked!

[Mrs.K034]

Good luck to anyone effected by this, our prayers are with you. [emoji120]

You should see AJ's bailout bag. It's a soft side cooler full of beers and his one hitter. :hilarious:

Be safe.

I thought you were over on the East Coast, of course I know where Beach Pky is, our place is off Chiquita close to Cape Harbour, we're still up in Missouri, praying it stays East of us, stay safe.

Know where the bar is, we're in that area all the time, we hang out almost every Friday night at Fathoms (across the parking lot the old Joint) they have small bands there a couple times a week, fun place.

You should recognize this gas dock, that's my Formula, glad it's not down there now.

He was supposed to hit PHX last night. Flew out yesterday mid day through ATL. Got the last available ticket was the story I was told. This isn't one to mess with, especially since they just rerouted the track further west, but as a cat 4 storm.

I might know someone with some equipment experience who can help. Fingers crossed for the best. Glad you're here and not there, even with 10 cases of beer. :thumb:

AJ and our places are a few miles apart in Cape Coral and it's not supposed to hit there until late afternoon or early evening today, right now it's coming head on right on top of the Cape, not good, we haven't heard anything from our full time neighbors that stayed, we have "H" shutters", we're mostly worried about the storm surge that will flood most of the houses in SW Cape, I mean thousands of them.

Wow so sad. I can't believe you have neighbors that stayed! Ours prayers are with you! When are you planning to head down to asses the damage?

That water being sucked out of the bays is just freaky.

Now we just wait until tomorrow morning to talk to some of the neighbors who stayed and see how bad the damage is or more importantly, how high the storm surge got, if it got in the house or not.

[314joey]

Don't know about AJ's place, but we dodged a "HUGE" bullet late yesterday afternoon, Irma shifted inland and reduced in size before it came to the Cape, that greatly reduced the storm surge and saved tons of houses, even though there's still lots of trees tore out and roof damage there's not total devastation like they predicted.

Other than a few trees and minor things our place was saved and didn't get flooded, I hope AJ's place did as well.

We'll be heading down in a few weeks at the end of the month to see for ourselves, the electric is out so our security system and camera's are out, so we can't see inside the house, but we know it didn't get water in it, everything in the frig will be shot, but that's OK and if that and a few trees is all we have to deal with I'll be super happy.

Thanks for all the nice thoughts.

Finally got electric, so the AC is back on and I can see for myself that the inside of the house is OK, we have wireless thermostat control and camera's in the house, it makes me feel better when I'm 1,400 miles away.
