Re: National, Regional and Local News
An observation. I've had the Weather Channel on all day. Desantis has done numerous briefings today. (He does them quite well. I'll give him that. He was also quite good in the one-on-one interview he gave to WC folks.) Rick Scott has made an appearance or two. (He still looks like a sickly ghost.)
But Marco Rubio is nowhere to be found. Perhaps he's making his appearances on Fox News. I wouldn't know. But it's a little odd he hasn't made an appearance on WC when two of his senior Florida peers have.

What's going on in Florida you ask?

The person in the boat is insane. That thing is not big enough to withstand that storm.
Patrick, only thing to say: try to be safe, keep us posted as soon as you can, to know that you are.

Re: National, Regional and Local News
Yeah... the person(s) in the boat is/are insane... but so are these TV reporters.
It makes for entertaining TV... but it's absolutely asinine, and completely unnecessary - unless the main goal is to get attention paid to yourself, and get injured or killed in the process.
Maybe these people see themselves as 'brave', and/or as 'martyrs'?
I see them as being simply foolish.

I saw on the news that you also need to beware of alligators if you're wandering through the water.

Re: National, Regional and Local News
My parents' 2000+ residence community in Bonita Springs was absolutely devastated. Limited news and pics coming out since there is no power, but it looks really bad. The golf courses and roads turned into lakes and rivers, and from what we're hearing, most first floor/single family homes got 3-5 feet of water. It's going to be a while before we know more.
My parents' unit is on the third floor, top level, so barring a roof/window/door leak, they might be ok (nobody has been able to inspect the unit yet). The concern is that mold will set in if power doesn't come back soon, and that's not looking too good, but that would be small potatoes compared with what everyone else is going through. No point in anyone in the family flying down there with no power, so we'll just need to wait it out and hope for the best.
Here are some pics sent by community residents. The photo with the red arrow is the building next to theirs, theirs fared the same (about 3-5 ft on ground/parking level). Luckily for my parents they sold their car they kept down there last year, were planning to replace it this year. This is after we convinced them not to sell the condo last spring. I hope that decision doesn't come back to bite us.
Here is a garage, totally flooded up to the roof:
