Members flguy Posted September 19, 2017 Members Share Posted September 19, 2017 Anyone who doesn't live in South Florida will ever be fully able to understand what many are going through. I evacuated the day before the storm to Fort Lauderdale when my county said to get out of B zone flood areas. When I left I had a high anticipation that there would be no home to come back to. After spending 5 hours on Monday to get 6 gallons of gas I came home. We were so fortunate that Irma wiggled east after coming ashore and they said that little move saved about 150 Billion dollars in damage. I was lucky enough to return to a house with no damage and the power was on. If you have never been in Southern Florida in the summer you just can't imagine the heat. 8 days later there are still 100,000 homes without power from Englewood south through Everglades City. I feel for these people and couldn't do it myself. On top of that in Cape Coral people are returning to their homes to find them looted. What a truly sad world we live in.
