Florida B.S. Thread

We just went through the eye and now that calm is turned back into windy situation Everyone stay safe and I will check in 12-24. Need to get back to my Riva' but not until it is deemed safe

 

In Land O Lakes and it is picking up here. Within the next hour or two we are supposed to get into the worst of it. Have not lost power yet, but it is flickering.

 

Sarasota is rocking and rolling pretty good now.

 

Bradenton has been for the last hour. Praying the trees decide to come down away from the house. 8" of rain so far.

 

Yep, we were already saturated from our normal rains. My back yard is holding lots of water and the street is filled up all the way across. It'll be interesting so see how everyone else faired in the morning.

 

We still have power watching the game and drinking cheap beer. Ain't too bad here

 

Here in Land O Lakes, we still have power but it is flickering a lot. Winds are really picking up out there. Glad I boarded up the house!

 

Con and I made it through just fine. No power loss at our friends town home but I am anxious for daylight so We can get out to the Riva' and check on the house. Everyone here in Florida please be safe

 

Lost power in Port Orange. Rain is pretty intense. Lots of lightning.

 

I think wpb is pretty much out now. We lost power and have been rocking the generator all day. A few trees down but nothing much. I wish those who are getting it now good luck.

 

So far here in Wesley Chapel have yet to lose power or internet. But it's starting to set in now with the wind whipping around. Hoping for the best for the morning. Everyone keep safe and check-in when you can!

 

Im in clermont, the eye is moving towards us, power went out a couple times but came back on. It doesn't look as strong as it was in the south, but the wind gusts are pretty scary.

 

Agreed about the wind. It calms down here and right when you think it's settled, it comes roaring right back.

 

Did a quick asessment outside. We still have some wind and rain but nothing like last night/early this morning. House looks good and we never lost power. Checked 3 of my neighbor's houses who evacuated and they look good too. Lots of little branches down in the neighborhood, and a a couple of larger limbs and small trees in the preserve area behind me, but so far so good in Land O Lakes.

 

anyone hear from David Gutierrez? I know he lives in Naples, and that place got slammed hard. not much up here on the panhandle, but we're about to get some of theast bands, so pretty much just wind and some rain

 

god speed, hope all goes well, probably just out of cell service

 

Just an FYI, I got back to Cocoa about 4 hours ago, and even though I had 3 bars, I had no cell service. I couldn't call or text anyone, yet the phone was showing 4G LTE. It just started working about 10 minutes ago, and I now only have 1 bar.

 

Anyone from Miami area care to comment ? The Cape Coral area wasn't too bad ... guy I know just stayed put and glad he didn't evacuate his home.
