Lawd have mercy, just the definition of Florida. Will be all over the news in 2 hrs. (Yes I know this happens elsewhere, but we all know the Florida stereotype and can laugh a little bit at this.... put down the pitchforks)

Just got this photo from my aunt/uncle’s place in Ft Myers/Naples. Looks like water is at least 6-8 ft high below. They do live right on the water. Fortunately, their condo is on the fourth floor. They aren’t there now but have a webcam installed.

Mike Seidel has covered 91 tropical storms and he says this is by far the worst he's covered.

We were once forecasted to get 3-5 inches and now almost nothing. Yikes.

That is just off the beach on Fort Myers Beach, FL

I'm not surprised, really. Some of those houses are not up to hurricane codes. Single story on a crawl space. Probably grandfathered in. The problem is when they come apart, they damage structures that can withstand the winds and rising water. The is probably shot from a balcony on the Batiki West Condominiums.

Yes, we saw that coming days ago due to the eastward tracks. Georgia's drought will not be relieved from this storm.

Probably going to have to wait until November to get rain in Atlanta. October is usually very dry. Atlanta is sitting at 0.99" for the month.
