    We took the center of the eye directly over my house in Cape Coral. I've been through every hurricane for 40 years and nothing compares to this storm. 8 hours of hurricane force winds with gusts over 160mph for a few hours. My new Gulf access home did not flood but others were not so lucky. We lost power for 11 days but many lost everything so I am not complaining. Pine Island, Ft. Myers Beach, Sanibel and the barrier islands were all decimated. We are heading to Key West in a few weeks to have a beer and relax for a few days. We definitely need a break!

    My mother was in the direct path at Bradenton. Miraculously for her it went south and east by about 80 miles. She is bone dry, full power snd no damage at all. Her husband did have a medical emergency at the shelter and had to be hospitalized. No word on his outcome. At 93 anything could be wrong but hopeful. Anyhow glad you all had minimal issues and as always. Much appreciated. Thank you.

    I appreciate you and your wife, working together as solid unit. You two are blessed brother. I just hope that all of the single ladies of Florida and the single men of Florida find each other, because in times like these, no one should be alone. Two heads are better than one, and women gives men strength as men give women strength, and together, they both move with purpose, focus and can move mountains in times like these.
    I sent a communication to all of my military brothers and sisters living down there to just do what we're trained to do in crucial and catastrophic times. They're on it!

    Glad to see you guys are good. We are in Bonita Springs and have at least 8’ of water in the house. Like you say, it is part of the deal. Clean up and live on. Been to Hogfish before and had them cook my catch. Good times! Stay safe.

    Thanks for sharing. It is important for people to see the power of these storms for both preparation and evacuation. I live in a little town outside of New Orleans called Luling. We were ground zero for IDA and live in a slab home just above sea level-very different from a hurricane rated -elevated home. We were without power for 22 days and many folks like my neighbor have still not been able to move back into their homes for over a year later. No appreciable services (GAS, Food, Water for a couple of months). I recall the horror of seeing the neighborhood that looked like a war zone upon my return. Our contractor did not complete the needed repairs until January 22 and we had to spend another 3 weeks out of the house during the worst of the sheetrock work. Not from flooding just wind and rain. The moral of the story is you need to understand the risks and limitations of staying or leaving. You are in a good place with type of home you have and experience in dealing with storms. But people need to fully appreciate their individual circumstance, the power of these storms and prepare or get out accordingly. Again in the wake of this storm as in Katrina we will see many deaths and heartache that could have been avoided if folks would only think through the decision to stay or go. Regards Steve

    Thank you for the insta posts and this vid. So great to know y’all are safe and didn’t lose the boats or suffer any major damage to the house. We had a fair amount of damage to my home in Hugo in SC. Rebuilt and all is good, but I understand the stress that goes with these storms. Take care you guys ❤️

    Glad to see you guys made it through this ok! This storm was no joke. I'm about 130 miles due east of Cape Coral here in Palm Bch County and we got some flooding. I have friends in Cape Coral who live on the water and they evacuated yesterday. I dont have much hope their house didn't get flooded. Fingers crossed.
