I'm on the other side in Sarasota! Be safe...

Having not quite taken us out with the glancing blow (Helene), Mother Nature has lined up a new monster storm (Milton) with a direct path to the Tampa Bay area.  This could be the storm we have always feared, a major hurricane running up the mouth of Tampa Bay. 

My home is on very high ground, so I mostly fear the wind.  Please hope for the best for us.  The forum's servers are not physically located here of course, so the forum should be fine.

See you all on the other side.

Sorry folks. Tapatalk created multiple posts. Hopefully the admins can delete the three extra copies

Hey guys,

This storm was brutal.  We are on a ridge that runs down the middle of Pinellas County and are about 35 feet above sea level.  This storm was all about the storm surge, which is irrelevant to us.  We had tropical storm force winds in the middle of the peninsula, but that was about all.  We never even lost power.

We had many friends who were not so lucky.  The beaches and the coast were hit very hard -- a generational storm for sure.

I am currently in northern Ontario for a death in the family, so I'm a little out of touch with recovery efforts but I'll be back soon.

Duane: Good luck and stay safe as you're probably going to take some kind of a hit, hopefully not flood damage to your home, but just some wind and rain.
