Non-event
Hurricane Ian might be the worst threat EVER for Ft. Myers, Florida, but up here in North Florida, it’s the biggest non-event the world has never seen.
The rain has been drizzling all day, wind is at the tree tops, and the temperature has dropped.
On one hand, I’m thankful that Ian missed Tampa and didn’t come up the middle of the state. On the other hand, I stepped in dog poop to close the hurricane shutters.
I’m sure I speak for all of Florida when I say that I’ll be glad when hurricane season is over.
Gainesville, Florida is the safest place to live, for they have the fewest hurricanes, and those are usually low intensity. I live 30 minutes to the east of Gainesville, and I’m 110 feet above sea level. It means my house won’t be flooded.
The dogs are so bored, they haven’t barked all day.
I’m about to go to sleep.
That’s good too know Joelle

I can only imagine what people around the world are being told.
With a slow moving storm, and constant drizzle, there is a risk for fallen trees and flooding. We won’t know until morning.

Stay safe. We’ve had a lot of rain and flooding in my country this year.

Sorry to hear that. My parents were in a flood in south Florida. They built a house 110 feet above sea level…in Florida. The sand is “soaked.”

We were fortunate to be on the edge of the hurricane throughout its travels across the state. I was looking at the areas between Ft. Myers and Cape Coral, Florida. It looks like a train wreck. Orlando had over 7 inches of rain in one day. When this hurricane makes it across Florida (which should be within the next hour), it is predicted to pick up speed and might become a hurricane again.

Our internet went out — after the storm left. We lost electricity around 9:00 in the morning. I found out later that 15,000 people in our county lost electricity. We were, indeed, fortunate.

Thanks for the well-wishes. 🙂
My better half prepared the house well for the storm. Good preparation often leads to good luck.

That’s good. I thought you lived closer to St. Augustine, which got a bit flooded, I saw.
