Got some hurricane shutters up. We live on a canal, but it's not connected to a river so it should be relatively free from flooding besides whatever rain it gets; either way, our house is still several feet higher than it, so I'm confident everything will be okay.

Damn. I feel really safe right now in Orlando, but I'd definitely be freaking out a little bit if I lived in your area.

Keep us updated the next few days if you can! Be safe!

Yes, since 2002. I was actually born in Florida back in 1988, but my family moved to New Jersey when I was about four, so when we moved back I was 14. Really though, over the span of 20 years this is only the second hurricane that seems to really be a threat for Cape Coral, after Charlie in 2004 (Irma a few years back didn't really do much here), so that's not a bad track record.

Thanks! I'm charging my computer and my phone all the way, and I'm going to put both on low power battery saving mode to make the charge last longer. I'll probably keep them off intermittently too, just to extend their life.

Most of them are into the cosplay community. You part of that or no?

I just got back from visiting my sister in Orlando. (The ride home was a little bumpy.) I told her that I was pulling a Ted Cruz in flying out ahead of the hurricane and leaving her behind.

Not sure if they have a special name but they're like a corrugated type of metal that bolt into the stucco.

Hi TC, two part question if you will;
1a - Do you have a gun?
1b - If you do, will you shoot at the hurricane and live stream it? If you don't will you pretend that you're shooting at the hurricane and live stream it?

Yup, similar to Charley except Ian is 3x the and traveling even slower, causing more damage.

I learned about this place recently and am flabbergasted as to why you would design a town like this even outside of a place where hurricanes are a regular occurrence. Seems like it would be miserable to drive any where and that 9 months out of the year there would be a sea of bugs everywhere

My family and I are okay, guys. A couple of our trees came down; they weren't small, by the way. Lost tons of roof shingles. Our lanai cage is still standing but bent in spots and missing several screens. No power, and who knows how long it'll take to get it back considering all the damage done to the grid.

One of my sisters was staying on the second floor of a marina hotel where she works in Fort Myers. The whole first floor was underwater. She lost both vehicles.

My phone is at 37% and I don't have a portable charger, but my laptop still has some charge so I'm gonna charge my phone off that for as long as I can.

Haha, fun fact: Cape Coral has more mileage of canals than any other city in the world, even more than Venice, Italy!

It's very gridlike here, road wise. Very few real street names. It's all # DIRECTION # TYPE OF ROAD. Examples: 826 NW 22nd Avenue, or 2739 SE 13th Terrace
