willland Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Prayers and safe wishes for our friend @billybob with his encounter with Idalia. Not sure of the exact location but I am sure he will see some impact. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I wouldn't wish that on anybody after seeing the devastation on Estero Island. A close friend has a place in Bonita Springs and has all kinds of stuff on her place for protection. It was still standing somehow after that storm. She's staying up here til the end of October this year. She sent some videos after the storm and places were just gone. Crazy. Stay safe you all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My in-laws place is over in Carabelle. I think they have some friends down there that can check up on it but they won’t be back until October. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted August 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2023 Good luck to all, it is completely different than it appears on a radar map, or even the news, more live and in your face to say the least. duh. 😄 Like Ron White says, "it's not that the wind is blowing it's what the wind is blowing". 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubo Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I've heard the hurricane is not as bad as feared hopefully this is accurate, obviously if your place is washed away it's a disaster.... For some reason Bogart Key Largo 1948 comes to mind ..... Stay safe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a high profile SUV like the kind that roll over easily and flip in accidnents Also problem with high profile causing buffeting and instability from cross winds on the highway. Hope the occupants had their seat belts on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Glad to read that Billy. And yea @Bubo my rolling brick wobbled a bit this am on I-85 with the leftovers going by the outer banks. Still breezy here. Rain had been flooding highways all around the Piedmont since yesterday morning... the second day of the deluge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
