[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was so much advanced warning. I do not understand all these submerged cars. Aren't people bright enough to do things like take your car to a parking structure and park on an upper floor? Or are people just counting on insurance? [/quote]

There wasn't much warning for Naples and Ft Myers. The hurricane was due to hit Tampa Bay head on - then took a turn. People have had to react very quickly and don't have tons of options. How many upper floor parking structures do you think were available in the 12 hours before a cat 4 hurricane hit?

Larger question: why on earth own property in Florida? At some point it's going to take extensive storm/flood damage. Even inland, there's threat to life and property in Ian's path.[/quote]

I live inland-in a coastal county in Tampa Bay-and I'm not in a flood zone and my house is up to current stringent hurricane codes. Unlike my house inland in NE that took damage from Hurricane Irene.

We got really lucky here but Ian turned fast towards Naples and Ft Myers. [/quote]
