My guess is he's going to be put out to pasture soon. He's 58 and his macho weatherman shtick is really old, stupid and reckless. They tell everyone to be safe...turn around, don't drown...and he's standing out in hurricane force winds. He's a total clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if I'm not mistaken, I believe @dgambilllives on the West Coast of Florida. So, wish him, and all others in that area, safety. Got to my in-laws in Bonita…they have power and internet…probably one of the few communities in Lee County. Bad storm that seemed to last forever. Family is safe and no major damage…can’t say the same for everyone else. Prayers going out…lots of people I know and places we’ve frequently visited may not be the same for a long time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of signs and trees down. One stop sign would slice them in two. We were lucky. Lost our lanai screen and some ornamentals but house, family, and everything else safe. Walking out in that yesterday…insane. Steady 80-100mph with gusts well faster…and for 12 hours….it was exhausting.

I rode it out in Key west, some 30+ miles away and it was "only" a Cat 3 at that point. Isn't that sustaining, on going, what seems never ending wind just an insane level of power! Even though I have a glimpse now, I can't imagine what you all rode out! Stay safe sir while the clean up begins. It'd be a great interview to talk to that squirrel today. Maybe have Jim Cantore do it? Edited September 30, 2022 by Joe_Hoopsier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have Jim Cantore do it? He landed and took off like a bat out of hell lol! Funny…my wife and I both said “was that a squirrel at the same time lol”…flew right out of our tree in our front yard. It was indeed. We live in Estero near FGCU…not even in FT Myers but dang I feel for Sanibel…like totally wiped off the map almost. 3 mile bridge gone. We felt really safe in our house…crazy how well built they are but man it was intense for a long time…the storm surge as expected was awful for work mates that live on Cape Coral and west of 41. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane videos and photos online - glad you guys are safe. Also glad the squirrel seemed to right itself in that wind! My grandparents used to live in a retirement community in Estero. I visited them one summer, rode my old Honda Interceptor V750 down there. I think my horn had failed by the end of the two week trip b/c of all the old people driving with reckless abandon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how many are without coverage? Well if you have a mortgage you are required to have insurance. Can’t imagine too many not having insurance. Issue will be how much will mine go up. Last year mine went up 1400 more than year before so we switched…but it was still 500 more than previous year. Combining home values that have sky rocketed and some even doubled or tripled that means you have more to insure…so those combinations can be very hard on fixed income seniors.
