Very much so.
The destruction on coastal florida the last few years is just crazy.
Our friends condo in Reddington beach was hit. They have 2 feet of sand in the ground floor and had 6 ft of water..... they are on the 8th floor, but cant use it until its cleaned and renovated.

Trump actually had a really good speech, non politically really, about coming together to help the nation after the storm, he talks about 28 mins left in the broadcast.

Lots of frost this morning. The end of the growing season I imagine Earlier this week I checked the entry path to a stand I could see the deer were feeding heavily on the Jewel Weed. This frost usually stops the feeding and I expect the deer to move more towards foodplots and crops. Jewel weed grows on the bare ground where swamps dry out in my area.

It sure is looking like Tampa is going to suffer historic damage.

Got to OZ yesterday and did some patio clean up this morning. Went grocery shopping this afternoon and temps were 107. (but it's a dry heat.....grin). Playing golf on Friday morning.....just nine holes. Temps start out in the 80's here. Looks like next week will cool down a bit. We're taking my Rubicon and doing a trip in the higher elevations for a few days next week. Kinda sightseeing and leaf tour north of Sedona.....very scenic area and much cooler than Phoenix.
Nice change of venue for us. Odd tweaky things to trouble-shoot today. Track was off my patio shade....never was installed correctly......grrrrr. Then the bathroom faucets all stoped working due to calcium contanination. I guess that is a real problem due to the hard water here......and those damn flow restrictors. Both were head-scratchers for a bit.....but turned out easy to fix. Funny stuff happens when a house sits unused for six months.

It sure is looking like Tampa is going to suffer historic damage. I know several people with property in Florida. They are doing some nail biting tonight (again). We seriously considered buying a place in FL.....but this was one of about 3 things that were off-putting to us. Chose OZ instead. No regrets, ever....not even a little. I do empathize with those folks.....and understand their attachment to the area.

Looks like Tampa was spared largely. We just saw a video from the area we've stayed the last few years. Some places look pretty good. Some places have damage. Some places are G.O.N.E....

This could be your chance to get a good deal on a Florida place! Having a place near the ocean would be awesome, but the thought of starting over every time a hurricane comes through wouldn’t work for me.

The beach is now in homes, pools and roads. We are very glad we chose not to buy. We'll continue to happily rent places

We'll continue to happily rent places I think that renting a place near the ocean for a couple weeks would be a good option. I really like seafood, so being close to the ocean would be awesome as long as I didn't have to deal with hurricanes.
