Yeah, older places are screwed, see Michael and the PanHandle last year. I kinda misspoke when I said another Andrew can't happen- Cat5 storms will take everything out. Living here, you get a little nonchalant about anything Cat 3 or lower. Unless the thing is aimed right at your house, you don't get too concerned. 2 years ago, that storm that hit Naples, we evacuated. We weren't messing around with the storm surge.
The news loves to show the wind and destruction, but that is centralized around the eye. Andrew did a ton of wind damage, an unprecedented amount. That is what changed the codes, drastically. The storm surge is what does the most damage. That is what the news shows afterward, and people that don't live here think the wind did that.
The storm surge is what makes us evacuate, because my elevation is 9 ft above sea level. I don't even have an ocean view either. We are on the bay side.

Everything down there is pretty new. They had a building boom going right before the recession, shit got bad until about 2014-2015, and it has been lights out no holds barred ever since. My business down there has tripled in that time. Bonita is pretty nice, Naples is redonculous, and Ft Myers is still pretty trashy, but getting nicer every year. You never really saw much footage of destruction in Naples on the news, and that was a pretty badass storm. They showed all the Key West damage, and the annihilation further up the Keys, but they really didn't show much from Naples. I was down there about a month later, and you could barely tell anything had happened.

Funny Naples story. Friend of the family owned a very successful manufacturing business in Chicago, and sold it for a ton. Not exactly a small fish in a big pond. He moved to the nicest hugest house in Naples. No one on his street had ever worked a day in their life. They basically treated him like the help. He ended up selling and moving somewhere that I can't recall. His famous saying is, " I thought I had money, till I moved to Naples."

Now they are saying this hurricane may be as bad as Andrew. Andrew is what drove my friends, life long Floridians, out of Florida. They practically had PTSD from that storm.
Why hasn't anyone started a Hurricane 2019 thread? Come on now.... don't be shy....Last edited by KQ; 08-29-2019 at 10:22 PM.

Charred Remains Of Florida Woman Found Inside Port-A-Potty
Authorities suggested the woman may have been trying to light a cigarette, which sparked the fire.
"A person could have gone in there, and the methane gas could have ignited somehow," St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Spokesman Chuck Mulligan said
