Thank you for your concern, we are fine, the storm is well South of us. We do have some great Cats Illustrated posters who are in the middle of this. My thoughts and prayers for them.
You are confused. You're a petty litte troll that nevers adds anything to this board and site but trash and garbage.
Yep. Disgusting poster. Guaranteed worse in person.
Cantore and Stephanie Abrams make this unbearable to watch at times as they interject ridiculous statements, also Abrams thinks she’s hitting in the 3 hole with that batting helmet on
Some of you are absolutely insufferable and awful in every possible way imaginable. STFU with your stupid politard fights and f-off.
Here's a live feed of a few beach cams.

Well, here's the thing....If you don't want to be in a flood, then don't build in a floodplain.
Looks terrible. Just hope as many as possible evacuated. Stay safe.This is our Katrina
This is our Katrina
Would not want to be anywhere near Ft Meyers right now. Geesh this is going to be really bad.
Just heard wind gusts are 180 mph. The storm is 175 miles wide. It is so massive and the water damage will be record setting. When winds are so strong they empty Tampa Bay and block rivers from emptying into the Gulf of Mexico man is pretty much helpless. That type of activity from Mother Nature makes man a grain of sand on a beach. We are at the mercy of a power we can not control. We can build electric cars and ban fossil fuels but nature just cranks up and does what it wants to do.
Keep in mind once this thing leaves Florida it is not finished. It may head North and go into the Carolinas and Appalachia. Massive flooding could be in there future. It is going to be a rough ride for a few days.

Right now the only thing to do is get really drunk.
We've had a lot of rain the last couple months in Jax. Most of the retention ponds are pretty full. Compared to Irma where our pond was really low to Ian -- there just isn't anywhere to collect the water. I think you're right. The flooding will be immense.
Tampa off the hook again. Those mfs haven’t had a direct hit in 100 years. We’ve had three here in 20 years.
I heard last night that it is usually worse when the west coast of FL is hit than the east because the west side is very shallow far out into the gulf. The east drops deep not far off the coast. Deep water helps absorb the power of the hurricane and shallow water intensifies it.
Sea levels naturally rise and fall over the course of thousands of years (sometimes more quickly) and the Fl coastline has been drastically wider.

Thanks. That's the type of response a dumbocrat usually gives when presented with facts.
My mother was 9 years old and living in Clearwater when the last direct hit occurred. She use to talk about it. I was born there and lived most of my life there. We never had more than a minor tropical storm. Very minor.
In 1995 I was transferred to Georgia and moved into a new home 50 miles North of Atlanta. The night of my closing on a new home a hurricane came through and tore off my roof. It came up from the Florida Panhandle. A brand new home and I was the owner less than a day and got hit by a hurricane. It eventually ended up in the North Carolina Smokey Mts.
We got a Villa style condo in Punta Gorda - If this thing doesn't slow down there are going to be a lot of homes without roofs. Here's a link to a live cam from Fisherman Village:
We have two condos in fort Myers. 3-4 miles from the beach. I hope they don’t get destroyed but if they do, that’s why we have insurance. We are at our home in WNC and was going to head back in November, may have to go sooner now
Getting power flickers here in Jax. Nothing has got better or worse so a little odd for this early.
That was a damning thing to post. Of course you’ve heard of it. Saying you haven’t is pretty much admitting guilt.
With all the focus on the west side, people are forgetting this thing is going across the state and going to drown the NE section as well....Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona....
I promise we aren't. Schools, Walmart, etc... closed this morning in Jax for the rest of the week. We're just patiently waiting our turn.
There’s only scattered cell service on the gulf but a friend texted and said basically all of Anna Maria is underwater. This surge reminds me of the Lake Charles landfall, total destroyer

WC just showed Englewood before the commercial and it may not be there when they come back.
Oh, I know what you are saying....referring to the media for the most part. My wife's company closed their Orlando and Jax offices the rest of the week.
The beach destruction from this is going to be sickening.
GD Cantore is nuts. There are street signs buckling. I mean thanks for the reporting but dude, GTFO of the street and seek shelter.
My Florida fam always say Tampa is the DOnut Hole, storms just go around it and leave it safe. In the same vane, Key West hasn't had a direct hit in over 100 years either which is nuts considering its the tip of the Keys just out there with no protection (besides Cuba) but also the shallow waters help. Local lore says the candles at St Mary's Basilica is how they stay safe.
That baseball helmet isn't going to do **** when a piece of lumber comes barreling down the road. There is a time for hero reporting which he has done many times, but this is above what any of their vet reporters have ever experienced.
