Then you have your usual storm idiots : And reporter idiots that don't think you'll believe there's really a storm out there unless they're standing unprotected in the middle of it :
Thanks for the thoughts! Looks like we'll be fine from surge. I'm guessing had the storm hit us like it was forecast to Monday, we'd have 2-3 feet of water in the house, just from the surge alone and we're 11.5 feet up. So far, looks like we've lost a couple of palm fronds . We'll know more in the morning. We're sorry for the folks in the Fort Myers area, but for now, we've dodged a devastating bullet. And we're drinking here tonight... seems appropriate
