It’s been a while for me posting again as well, but as you said, this was a year from hell. Us too, but in other ways.
Let’s look ahead in a positive way.
🤞
Be well.

That sucks. You had some major damage at your place. Hopefully it is cleaned up before the mold gets it.
When Ian struck, my wife went to Target a few days later and they were drying the place with those big fans. She got mold poisoning just from walking in the store. She ended up in the hospital later.
Florida is not a fun place during hurricane season.
My damage was some roof tiles missing, lanai screen damaged and my RV canvas covering was shredded.
And, there is always next year to screw it up for us.

Hurricane season is coming to an end here in Florida.
😎😎😎
I was lucky this time with minor damage. Other folks were hit hard.
I’m back running my boats again

"Looks like those boats haven't been used for a while, or maintained with all those barnacles on the bottoms?"
You are correct. I was surprised as well.
It is possible, that the owner just did not care or neglected those boats for years as barnacles were attached to the props.
However, there were other beached boats with clean bottoms.

Damage photos I took.
Hurricane Milton October 2022 hits Florida.
Boats, planes, homes....
Some homes along the beach are full of sand ( 8 ft of sand ).

Wow, a fire during a storm. That is bad. Obviously the fire was severe ( electrical fire??????).
Like anything, disasters come in many shapes.
I hope they escaped and are really OK.

"Isaac, is that corrugated sheet metal over your windows?? In the mid-90s i was in Cape Cod & they were nailing 4x8 sheets of plywood over the windows of the Kennedy Compound"
Yes, those are corrugated sheet metal panels that bolt onto the exterior of doors and windows.
All new construction houses here have those as a minimum. My home is 4 years old. No need for plywood anymore unless you have an older home.
it takes me approximately 30 minutes to put 8 ports up. I do need a ladder for the top screws.
Pictures attached that show the simple system.
For $30,000 you can buy hurricane proof clear windows that need nothing. 😁

That sucks. I hope damage is manageable. Did you manage to dry it?
Careful of mold. It’s toxic. My wife got extremely sick due to mold at Target right after hurricane Ian.
Here is the eye of the hurricane passing over my home. As you can see the heavy rain is north of the eye. That’s what caused the heavy rains at your place. Poor drainage in Florida is common.

Hurricane Milton destroyed much of the west Florida coastal communities. We stayed at our home while the eye of the storm was over us with sustained winds of 102 mph and more. Our home made it OK with some roof tiles missing and other small issues. But no flooding even though we are close to a big river. Lucky. Other folks have their entire homes and communities destroyed.

That sucks. Flooded and battered twice in a row. Hope you are OK from the fall.
I was a bit luckier. Even though the eye of the hurricane hit us here in Venice, my home made it thru the 100 mph winds. I am approx 3/4 of a mile from the Myakka river and we thought we would flood, but did not. We hunkered down, buttoned the hatches and made it thru. No power yet. Running on generator .
I hope you dry out fast and get the mold out of the house.
I am questioning living in Florida. This is getting to be crazy here.

Last night we stayed at home hunkered down for hurricane Milton. We were in the eye of the storm.
Made it ok. No flooding.
Still no power, but my generator is working.
All my boats and planes are safe
Hope our other Florida mates are ok as well.

There are no basements in Florida. We are at sea level and ground water is only a foot or so below the surface.
Florida is in the initial stages of being “Water World”.
My boats and planes are stored in my garage again

I fear we will be hit big time. The entire west coast of Florida will get it to various degrees.
We shuttered our home and staying. It is too late to evacuate. I-75 is already a parking lot.
We will do our best to ride it out.

We were lucky this time. Glad to hear you are OK. Friends close to the water's edge got flooded here. Many business that we frequented in Venice and up to Sarasota were flooded big time and some were swept away. Even though the winds were in the 60-70 mph range max, it was the water surge that wacked the coast.
Here is a short video of a park we go to with the sole restaurant destroyed.

The hurricane passed us with no damage. Just high winds as much as 60 mph.
The eye if the storm was far enough away.
Folks up north and along the waterfront got flooded.
My boats are all safe and back on their stands.

We are going to get a glancing blow from the hurricane unless it changes course like two years ago.
My boats are going to be safe. I have a storm screen.

The model is 48 inches long and is a 1/18 scale of the actual boat.
Here is a photo of the real boat which unfortunatly was destroyed during hurricane Ian which struck Florida in 2022

The weather has improved, but a new hurricane is coming this week on the west side of Florida.
So before the storm, let’s have some fun at my local lake park
😎😎😎
This is my scale shrimp boat Capt CJ built by a friend.

If you are looking for very low cost lighting ( that is not scale ), I purchased extra blinking bicycle lights that are battery powered. These are small cubes that emit red or white and I am sure others as well.
I just place it on my boat and let it go at my pond. They are bright and fun to watch.
