Hurricane IAN , Any Florida members ?

Storm looks to be a good one . Any Storm Pictures or Updates ?

I think Doc is right in the path. Hopefully he got the heck out of there!

Mike (scratchnfotraction) is in that area.

Both of my sons and grandkids are living there in the Orlando area.

Good luck everyone,be safe!

my son was looking at going to southeastern university in lakeland florida this fall. thankfully he chose to do on line classes from home other wise I would be out of my mind. Dale Renner with the pro street pink duster is in Tampa.

corey

jcc too.

Power companies are heading south.

I think Larrymopar360 is around there too.

Hope they all get to a safe place and their property escapes destruction.
Sounds like a helluva storm.

I hope everyone stays safe.

Larrymopar360 is in Florida.......hope all is well.

Doc is essentially a flotation device. He should be ok.

I have a brother in law that lives about 20 miles from where it hit landfall. He stayed there! My wife text him a few minutes ago. They were in the eye at that time, he is pretty scared, but at this point the damage isn't real bad yet. He was not looking forward to the second round.

He used to live in AL, he lived through a Hurricane there but didn't evacuate. He said he was never going to stay through one again, but here he is staying for another round in a different location. Hopefully he has learned from this one.

I have Eric's number here some place when I find It planed on checking on him.
Lesson lernered never clean up makes ya loose stuff.
If he floods out down there the Cajun Navy will have no problem finding him. He's the guy in the Thermoquad Rules! Holley Drools Shirt........

My best friend from HS lives in that area, Land of Lakes, he’s been keeping me updated so far. A lot of water not to much storm surge. I’ll check back with him later tonite

My son moved to this area a little over a year ago. As they did not have an evac. order in the area, or even a recommendation, he and his girlfriend stayed. Mid day, he said they just had rain, later they lost power. He stocked up on supplied to get through it, so I hope it works out. I wanted him to get out...take a short vacation over in Mobile or some place out of the way, but he decided against it.

Com Ed (Illinois electric company) has sent crews already, they are waiting in Georgia right now and they are also sending crews to South Carolina as the 'cane is probably going to strengthen when it moves back into the Atlantic and head north. I have a buddy on St. James City and the eye just went over it, not much protection there! Edit: Sanibel was destroyed and he was just north of there, nobody has heard from him...

I've lost count of how many hurricanes I rode out in my 45 years there. Only left once, but everyone I know that stayed and experienced the eye wall of a cat 4 or 5 and lived has said they will never, ever do that again.
Also more people are killed and injured after the storm has passed while cleaning up from trees, generator exhaust and downed power lines than from the storm itself.

I work for the power company here and we are staying put until we see what the remnants do to us in Western NC. Then we will be heading to work in our territory either in Eastern NC, Pee Dee area of SC, or go kicking and screaming to help the part of the same company in FL. Been at it over 44 years.....this will be my last storm trip!

I retired too. Superstorm Sandy was my last.

Florida got it real bad. It's heading towards us now, but shouldn't be too big of a deal. I'm about 40 miles inland up US 501 from Myrtle Beach.

Anyone else see this? Looks like it was a nice one.

That’s just terrible.

I'm in Dunnellon (near Ocala). Went east of us. Only received an inch of rain, light winds. Lucked out this time.

floated them out

My wife's Grandpa lived in Dunnellon, her mom inherited the property and lived there for a few years then moved to Cocoa Beach. I love Dunnellon, nice area and pretty relaxing, seems Ocala and Dunnellon usually avoid the bad storms. Glad your OK after this one. He lived near Rainbow Springs park.

Ya I saw that too... never understand why these [censored] rich [censored] don't cruise their cars awaaaay on a road trip... but hey I guess insurance money is good right?

Mclaren P1

Guess you missed the fact that these two winged cars were on lifts raised to the top, the guy did manage to save the two cars under these two.

My sister lives in Sebring Florida. They lost power last night at 6:30pm and it looks like it will be off for awhile

I just bought my winter home in Venice Florida seven weeks ago.
Watching all the destruction on TV back in upstate NY on Wednesday I was preparing
to hear that the place might end up being a total loss.
Well I got good news today that the place only suffered some siding loss.....

I live on the east side of Orlando, near the University of Central Florida (UCF). We got strong winds, and anywhere from 15-20 inches of rain, lost power around 2AM Thursday morning, and regained it 10:30 AM on Friday. We had two small tears in the screen around our pool, and that is it. Lots of localized flooding in downtown Orlando and a few surrounding areas. I know the news mentioned we had a few gusts of 80+ mph, very thankful for the limited damage, many others south and west of us were not so fortunate. Planning to donate time and / or money to the Volunteer Florida organization. Volunteer Florida

I think that fairly well describes what my son ran into in Kissimmee.

Bonita here. We got hammered. I know about 6 muscle car owners, and no one experienced damaged cars. Pic is of my old swimming pool, served now w/ a side of toyota.

Greg Z from MagnumHP was based in Naples last I heard. But I haven't talked to him in a few years. I think he shut down MagnumHP a while back. At least he hasn't ordered anything from me in a few years. He was one of my original dealers, helped me get AR Engineering going but I haven't heard from him in at least 5 years.
