Saw a pic on the news of a shark swiming down the street. Fort Myers I think. Seafood looking for land food.

Not much has happened so far in my area of Jax. Rain and wind but it's not crazy yet.

Hopefully Robert is okay. Southwest Florida got absolutely hammered. Buddy's parents in Sarasota had a maple tree hit the house, but no leaks.

I'm here. Lost a few limbs but wildlife and animals are all okay. Lost a glass top umbrella table out by the pool. That's the worst of it for us. I'll pick up the limbs and sticks later today. This was the slowest moving MF'er storm I've ever seen. The damage across this state is monumental and will take days if not weeks for a final tally amount. I haven't heard about loss of lives yet, but those poor people close to Coral Gables, Punta Gorda and Ft. Myers took it on the chin...hard. There's video around of water up to the roofs and boats on top of them. Just heartbreaking.

Wind has picked up. Some tall, skinny pines behind the house are bending a lot more than I'd like to see. Rain is still not too bad, but it's steady. App says 28 mph wind.

Power flickered off for a second... modem rebooted. Crisis averted.

Happened frequently with us...however it bounced back within minutes each time. WHEW...there's going through a major storm with power and the suck that happens when you don't. 1o days with Irma. Bathing in the pool...boiling water...cooking on the grill...actually talking to each other...it was rough.

Watching FOX Orlando this morning... Called my SIS & BOTL in Ocoee and she answered but couldn't hear us and then went dead. called them back and straight to VM, they live about 30-40 minutes from Robert. Oldest Daughter lives in Deltona and her phone went straight to VM. but she may be mandatory working at the VA in Daytona and cannot talk right now? All Family and friends in St.Pete, Clearwater, Bradenton and Ft. Myers are all ok other then damages. Buddy in Ft. Myers has a new boat in his yard, well a partially used one anyways..🇨🇮 my other buddy in Tavernier Key says they got very little other then limbs down and flooding...

Well maybe it'll clean that place up before Biketoberfest!! We bypassed stopping through there this last June because Mrs. and I were not impressed with the area the year before and the people were totally unfriendlies!!! Harley shop workers were snobs and highest prices on Merchandise out of the 25 shops we stopped in and visited in "21" Mrs. said the Beaches were the dirtiest of them all as well...

Stay Safe Ya'll...

No word from my Army Buddy in Ft. Meyers yet either.. He marked his FB yesterday as Safe right at the time IAN hit landfall on his Chit!!! He survived Mosul so I'm sure he's probably out surfing in the streets in his underware or something? 🇨🇮
