My parents live about 20 miles south of Ft Myers-while they had some flooding at the Naples Beach the city was largely spared the damage just to the north. Amazing how 20 miles makes all the difference if you're not in the eyewall.
Definitely been warm since 3/1 or so. With regard to April have to consider the 5 days of +20 to +30 skewing things abit. But I'm in your camp-so far we've done ok this spring. Some years it seems like we get days and days of stratus and 45 degrees
No idea but i was figuring it would be truly horrendous with the cold shelf water after this winter, but to me at least it hasn't been all that bad. Next 10 days might change that opinion!
