Yea, no doubt. Will probably have to redo the whole system with almost all new poles. I just moved out of Florida and it was not due to Hurricanes as it had been fairly quiet from 2004 up until last year but if we get a few more years of these dramatic hits in Florida there is going to be some people who give up and leave.

6 months!!! That is incredible. I was in Ocala and Bradenton for Irma and most people were restored after 2 weeks. I understand we are talking about two different beasts here but 6 months seems extreme.

If it were not for the total devastation that happened in Florida, what is happening now would be big news. Flooding in many Southern VA locations.

CNN added 3 more people to the toll. Undisclosed reasons right now.

People who would be screaming at the water as it surrounded them "You are only a Cat 1, you cannot harm me".

This and animals left behind in the houses swept away. I cannot imagine leaving animals behind but people do it.

It seems to me that Panama City is going to take it on the chin just about as bad as it could. Almost worst case for them.

I recall an April, maybe 90's, where the area had a general 4-8" snowfall that accumulated on all surfaces. Maybe someone here will recall. Could have been late 80's but do not think it was far back as 82.

The areas just to the North and West of the LSV (Perry, Juniata, Mifflin, etc) look to really be getting a nice haul with the lift. Have to love seeing a radar with the precip pouring in from the south and east.

I am popping in and out watching you guys have fun...between the ssl handshake errors and site offline notices. Hope to be back up there this summer though been house hunting for two months and the market is as dry as I have ever seen it.

The evac of a large part of the southern half of Florida will be something many never forget. The panic in the eyes of people at stops and gas stations was unique.

79 gust in Orlando. Outside of landfall area on the west almost all the major winds are east

Looks like it is going east of Tampa

I would think that as the eyewall fills in and weakens the sustained winds will be less for the areas around Tampa.

Seems like about a quarter of the eye wall is on shore so they may call it north of Marco but south of Naples. It is making a mess as it comes in.
