bobbutts Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Not the place where you want a big surge event happening. Most of the population lives below 15' asl and there are tons of canals and inland waterways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean dredging up swampland and building homes on top of the muck? Apparently the Rosens thought it was a good idea when they developed it back in the 50s and my parents and brothers and sisters think it’s a good idea. So good and trustworthy they refuse to evacuate. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just now, GoAPPS said: That there's a testament to the folly of man. Developers got their way. Post Andrew, there was a building standard developed called the Miami-Dade Standard. It was designed to make residential and commercial structures more hurricane resilient. It began to take hold in Florida, but then the building association lobby got into the state legislature and killed it. Otherwise, it would have probably saved millions in Federal disaster reimbursement costs over the past 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooralph Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Is this the thread where we complain about family members in the path who won't evacuate? My father-in-law is at ground zero - on a canal off Port Charlotte harbor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockem_sockem_connection Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The people who use words like great, beautiful, amazing, etc to describe hurricanes are not sensitive individuals. I can understand being fascinated by the storm as most folks are but don't humanize something so terrible. My 2 cents boys, hate me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if a lot of the area is staying? This will be one of the first storms I track where family property is on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 My cousin is in the McGregor neighborhood of Fort Myers. I called and begged her to leave this morning. She said most of her neighbors are from the midwest and they all thought this was moving north and gonna dissipate. I hope that's just her clueless neighbors and not the general sentiment of this region. She's on a canal and says only one person moved their boat. I got her to go to a condo a mile more inland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
