Hope Coochie is okay.

Yeah, that same exact picture was going around when Houston got hit by that hurricane a few years back.

Looks like there was some pretty legit damage. The road to Sanibel Island looks like an apocalypse movie.

Damn

I have a buddy in St Pete. Their power went out yesterday and hasn't come back on yet. He's not as close to the water as Coochie liquor is, so I'd assume he has no power at this point. Luckily the eye hit well to the south so they avoided a direct hit. Hopefully he'll be able to check in soon

Don't build roads on sand... Check

Welp thank god that the only hurricane to make landfall..

West coast of Florida doesn't really have anything to stop storm surge geographically. Good think the state government was prepared.

No one is driving to Sanibel anytime soon. Maybe 50% is left of the causeway?

DeSantis did a fantastic job both in preparation and cleanup. 46000 linemen, 5000 national guard, releif funds etc. We're so lucky to have him as our governor.

My only complaint is it didn't hit Tampa

Hopefully you remember that the next time Houston gets slammed

Spoke with my stepdad in Siesta Key. Said the power has been off since yesterday morning, but he's got generators so that hasn't affected him much. Said he had some big palm fronds down in the yard and some minimal damage to other landscaping plants, but nothing major. No damage to the house.

He got lucky - especially riding it out in his house - if Ian had wobbled 40-50 miles north he likely would've been screwed.

The #Bucs and #Chiefs game will be played as scheduled on Sunday night in Tampa.
