[quote:ACME_MAN:MV81MjQzNTE4Xzk2NTkxNjc2X0JENEFBRTFD] I'm a former Florida resident and the threat of hurricanes was one of the reasons that I left the state. I was there the summer they had 5 hurricanes back in the eary 2000s. One of the them was Cat. 4 Charlie. I was in the St. Pete area at the time and had to make a decision as to whether to leave or stay in St. Pete. They were still unsure the direction it would take. I opted to bail to Orlando and the storm ended up going there. Fortunately I made it to a shelter, but the metal roof was rattling from the 100 mph winds. The roof held though. Thoughts and prayers to those of you there. If you are in a multi-story building it is probably safer to be on the lower levels unless of course incoming water makes that impossible. Rooves flying off are not conducive to survival. [/quote]

My Mom, Grandmother and Uncle all live in Between Tampa and Ft. Meyers, right on the water and Ian is bearing down on them directly, the outer whips lashing their homes and boards are flying off as we speak.
Water is coming through one front door, (My Mom's) and no way to the roof, and would probably blow away even if they could get up there.
The worst is yet to come.
Please pray for EVERYONE at Peril on the Gulf Coast.
I fear it may be a long while before I can establish whether or not they made it through once comm goes all the way down, which I suspect will be sooner not later :(
Dark times. All directed, positive energies mental and spiritual much appreciated.
