  • Damn bro, nice work...happy for you, congrats! Hope you like the new setup...no more state income tax Wink Are you still working with pcdmis? You need to learn to kitesurf, best sport ever, hit me up if you get the itch.

    We got lucky with Ian, those just north like Sanibel just got the worst of the worst. In 2017 Irma was largely topical damage from roofs getting ripped off, etc, localized flooding....Ian was foundational Damage...flooding.....much worse. The eye wall of IRMA went directly over my house in 2017...we had 150mph winds.....and it was brutal, but nothing even closely resembling what is going on up in Ft Myers/Sanibel and north of there. I don't even know how you rebuild Sanibel to be honest, you can't get a vehicle there until there build a 4 mile bridge....that is gonna take a long time.

    Here are some good links for you:

    Have a written down hurricane plan(mine includes what wrenches/socket sizes I need to install my shutters, preparation for making ice, slimming down/cleaning out refrigerator(time permitting), get additional 5 gal water jug, batteries, charge up all battery devices, run/oil up a generator if you have one, get gas, top off vehicles, tie down grills, clean yard, nothing loose outside, etc....... What you will notice locally if you have an impending storm is there will be a day when things go from normal to ****'holy ***, it's game on*****, there is no gas, no plywood, no nuts and bolts....etc.' You don't want to be on the wrong side of that line. If a near direct hit is happening leave 24 hrs in advance no later....no one needs you in the area, emergency people don't want you here, you won't have power.....just leave. I just got power back last night(~ 8 days without, Irma was 13 days without power and it was 90 deg plus then). This storm was strange in that the path road our coast vertically, and with little notice turned somewhat lower than expected WHICH meant it turned earlier than expected. People say we don't respect storms, but we do, this was a highly irregular path, that was forecasted to hit well north of tampa 72 hrs before it hit Sanibel.

    Hopefully you never need this advice, but I've lived it twice now in 5 years...The hurricane is only part of the equation, then you have the 2 years of rebuilding. I'll never forget after IRMA we had 8 foot piles of debris lining every street for 2 months after. Felt like you never left the disaster zone for months. Very stressful.

    Thanks for all your time and help last year.
