      Good luck to all and stay safe.

        I am not in Florida and quite worried about our home in estero. The manager of our community has been great, with daily communication regarding the situation and what is planned. Chris be safe, hold on to those kitties

          Another tip I saw, fill you wash machine with ice. You can put water bottles in to keep cold

            Doesn't seem to be anyplace that's safe.

            Thanks for the offer.
            I'm sticking it out.
            Might regret it but I don't want to leave my cats.
            Do you have a safe room at your place ? If not, a closet or bathroom in the center of your place might work out.

              Unfortunately this is not true. The dishwasher will fill up with silt and mud and your valuables will be ruined.

                Too bad. I had read this on Facebook and thought it was awesome advice.

                    I left south west Florida for Orlando yesterday. We expect to lose power here and we will get high winds, but nothing like what we will get at home (cape coral). The big plus here is no storm surge

                    Ive prepped the house as good as I can, but god knows what Im going to find when I next see it

                      Ron, our neighborhood was just ordered mandatory evacuation. I can't imagine how bad it is going to be.

                        Stayed at Summer Bay in 2005 during Wilma - did a quick timeshare tour in the storm. Was in Ft. Lauderdale for Betsy in 1965 at my uncle's 2 story home just off Las Olas on the inland waterway. Suffered little damage, but we put corrugated aluminum up over all the windows. Power was out for 3 days.

                          When we left I. May,we put storm shutters up. Inthinkmthe biggest fear is the storm surge, and flooding. Some of my neighbors are still there, they didn't order evacuation until 11:00 today. And many were surprised to see it on Facebook this evening. The shelters are full except for three places.

                            Chris, are you okay?
                            Major flooding in Our subdivision and no one has reached our street or let us know. No contact with several people who remained in place. Power out and spotty cell service. One person lost a roof and it landed on neighbor lanai and truck. Several pictures of trees down on houses and water very high in streets.

                                With evacuations and power outages, it would not at surprising if we didn't hear from our Floridians for days.
