If all that got dealt a Major blow is FMB and Sanibel I'd consider this a win, you don't hear a ton about catastrophic damage in FM itself or Cape Coral
Seriously. FMB is a narrow ass sand bar. A typical run of the mill noreaster would cause issues there. I feel bad, but some areas just shouldn't be rebuilt.
10000%. I could not imagine leaving my pet behind in a situation like this. I'd figure out a way, or stay with it. I may be a shitmuncher but we agree on this.
