  1. Got power back at 5:30 last night. 101 hrs without. Could have been worse so I can't really complain.

    Things in Naples have settled down, gas more available. FT Myers still an issue.

    Back in the office today, company fully opened. Working on getting fuel and generators to employees that need them. , 

    Starting to see pictures of the aftermath, brutal.

  2. So all is good in the Ogilthorpe house. I have been at my office working to take care of employees. Lots of them have lost everything. Our company owns a hotel and we are housing people there. 
     

    we still don’t have power but I can’t complain with what others are going through. FPL is doing a great job getting power restored. In Naples it is ok apparently fort Myers and Cape Coral is like or mad max.

  3. Lost power 30 minutes ago, fired up the generator, started right away. I have a portable that I have hooked into my panel. I will be investing in a whole home generator before next season.

    Winds are definitely lightening up here. FPL is busting their asses getting power back up. Hopefully we will be back soon.

    Are you sure about that the hurricane hasn’t even made landfall yet?  I wouldn’t let your guard down already.  

    Yes the worst went through here a bit ago. We are now in the bands. If you look at a map i am close to where I75 turns east and becomes alligator alley. 
     

    no storm surge threat and the winds are slowing down

  5. Woke up about an hour and a half ago. Still have power, went outside everything seems fine. Sun comes up in about 25 minutes so will go out and survey the area again.

    Rain and wind coming and going. It seems where I am has gone through the worst of it.

    To all others in Florida, hope all is good with you.

  6. Just announce parts of zone C evacuation in Lee County

    Just finished putting up the last shutter (left one of the sliders open - will put it up before I go to bed tonight),

    We are staying. I am far enough inland that storm surge won't be an issue.

    Schools in Collier now canceled through Thursday.

    Rain pretyy steady now but no wind yet.

    Here is a cam at Southern Most Point in KW, getting rougher for sure.

    I'm in Zone A in north Naples less than 1/2 mile from the Gulf.  I've booked hotels in Miami just in case.  We are west of 41.  We will make a decision tomorrow morning based on the forecast.  Storm surge is my worry with our proximity to the Gulf.  I also have two large dogs and dealing with them through three days of heavy rain and winds won't be fun.

    Where are you in Naples?  Stay safe!

    Just off Livingston. No storm surge issue here.  Still debating about putting up my shutters.  Backed all set screws out today so I can put them up quickly if I need to.

    my boat is in a hurricane building down by tin city. On the bottom rack so hoping the surge doesn’t float it.

    have gas for the generator if needed and plenty of food water and beer. We got this here.  Worried about friends up in st Pete area

    Those two dopes overthought the situation. The ex cop really has some great lie detecting skills.😂

    I don't recall anyone being so overconfident and so wrong in recent years. It is almost painful to watch.

    You think they'd have a little doubt after the last eviction.
