Yes, pretty much. Might not be help for days.
I know a lot of people who had theirs dropped, even after replacing the roof and had to go to Citizens insurance. Rates are through the roof right now unless you house is almost brand new.
I live in Sarasota, I’m about 40 minutes south of Tampa. I’m not worried honestly. I never really do. People panic a lot and it causes so much headaches. I’m still working as of now.
Unless it's a monster, they seem to become basically a nuisance to most after you've gone through a few.
We fly out Wednesday to see Tyler Childers at Red Rocks. Can't wait. Doesn't hurt that it's gonna be 15* warmer out there than it is here lol.
Looks like Clearwater and St Pete are gonna get boned hard. Sucks
I’ve been born and raised in Sarasota. We haven’t really had many that have had me concerned. I’m honestly unsure if Sarasota itself has even been hit directly. Irma was supposed to ruin our day, and it barely blew my lawn chairs over.
Been through a good bit of storms. Really hasnt been that big of a deal since Andrew in 92'. Stay safe all you guys on the west coast.
Good lord, people in Orlando losing their minds… I blame the assholes on the weather channels
That’s already way too cold for my blood.
Well in Naples. 2 stories is a high rise. They have strict building codes about how many floors the buildings can be. So I don’t need flood insurance on my interior.
Wife’s mom is outside Orlando. We are supposed to leave Friday to visit until Sunday morning then driving to Seista Key for a week. Pretty pissed to say the least. We are considering canceling everything at this point

I lived in Tampa from 2001-2005 (near MacDill AFB). The majority of the time I was there I had no issues at all. However, in 2004 I think like 3 hurricanes came through. Only had to evacuate for one. I just went to the interior of Tampa. A buddy of mine went to Orlando. Hurricane passed south of Tampa and went right through Orlando. Sucked for my buddy, but I laughed about it because he took such drastic measures trying to avoid it.
It really sucks when you go to the store and the shelves are bare. I lived in an apartment on the second floor and didn't have a house or insurance to worry about. However, when the all clear is given and you go back to your residence and have no power for a few days, that sucks too. All kinds of debris in the parking lot (i.e. tree branches, peoples lawn furniture, etc.). Looking like a damn war zone.
Florida is a great state to live in, but I don't think I could deal with the potential of having my property wiped off the face of the Earth or severely damaged every few years when reports like this come through.
I like living in El Paso. No hurricanes, tornados, floods, Earthquakes or anything that can ruin my life in a few hours. And I can always go visit Florida whenever I want LOL.
Hope everything works out for those of you in the path of this thing. Been there done that and wish you well.

Hang in there guys
My father-in-law said he got the shutters up today and they will finish bringing everything inside tomorrow morning.
We are going down in a few weeks, I think. Hopefully the golf courses are ok so I can try and get revenge on my father-in-law and neighbor.

My mom and dad lived in Bradenton for about 40 years and based on what they had told us over the years, they were never hit by a hurricane. They used to tell us that the Sarasota and Bradenton areas were in an "alley" that for whatever reason seemed to be protected from hurricanes.
Be safe, all Floridians!
Just got back from a 5 day trip in Florida in the cone area, glad i went last week and not this week. Stay safe those in that area!
