[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got news that our place in Naples, very close to the beach and in the red zone, had no water intrusion. The streets around our development had 4-5 feet of water at one point but the houses were built up a bit. Power should be restored in the next few days.

I'd probably still cancel for next week, particularly if staying on or near the beach but some areas, especially to the east of 41, may be okay. [/quote]

Wow you're optimistic.  Get some perspective [/quote]

np.

Nah. I think it's the people making blanket statements that hurricane recovery is going to take "years" need some perspective. [/quote]

I'm an emergency manager so I know first hand that in some cases, full recovery takes years. It was not a blanket statement. We responded to Katrina, and all the other storms that year. Homes had blue tarps for years. Infrastructure took a very long time to repair.  What I said was that the recovery will take weeks, months and years - that is the truth. Have you seen the Sanibel footage? How long do you think those bridge repairs will take? Residents will be impacted for a very long time. That does not mean that tourists should stay away for that long. That being said, it's incredible selfish for the OP and others to be worried about a vacation. It's almost unbelievable they would ask. [/quote]

Oh these area are republicans areas. They will get so much federal aid money they will not be able to spend it all. DeSantis and Marco Rubio will not vote against this money. Let’s get those bridges to sand bars rebuilt so we can rebuild all the houses(roads and sewers) out there pronto! Also maybe the federal government can take over the state insurance program. The state and private insurance companies do not want anything to do with it. [/quote]

Ron DeSantis as a congressman opposed aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy, we must not forget that. Azzwipe.[/quote]
