It's a question of how soon they can realistically get more in. They don't want to add to the population until they can get boats and trucks and enough helos bringing supplies in. It's a wide area to cover.


Anyone who stays for a hurricane - rich, poor, dumb, smart, and everyone in between - ought to know that they may need to be self sufficient for the next week. Likewise, anyone going back after a storm should know that they need to bring in everything they might need.

If we let the ill prepared idiots die of dehydration (or whatever) it might cut back on future rescue operations.

Still nothing in the northern suburbs if Atlanta other than rain.

Wife's aunt in South Georgia, Leesburg, lost power early this morning. Haven't heard if it's back on yet.

The southern suburbs got hit pretty good. Lots of trees down and people without power.

I hear ya, but some of the people that stayed are 85 year old people with no families and whatnot. They sheltered in schools, and now have no homes, water, or food. We should probably not let those types die of dehydration.

Agree completely. But the able bodied dumbfricks who have money for booze and cigs, but not for water and Spaghetti-Os? frick them.

Right. She said she was east of I-75, off of East Terry by the YMCA.

Glad to see the water isn't too high. I'd guess it should be gone before too long.

So whatever happened to Lee? At one time we were concerned about it potentially getting into the gulf. I wasn't really paying any attention to it while Irma was approaching and now it's just gone while my back was turned.

Yeah hopefully the water goes tonight and gets out of there

The Bonita Springs FB page said they would put some more pics up soon.

They also have a few Live videos to go back and see / updates from city officials

Saw your pics before, but missed the maps first time around. Liz mentioned living near the Y in one of her posts, so that area is right I her wheelhouse.

Apparently, the Imperial River can be a troublespot. I heard it mentioned before the storm and saw a live shot from a news crew the night before at a kayak rental place. They were talking about how high the river was already.

I don't know the story on the "Critical Flowpath", but that sounds like trouble in stormy weather.

I was surprised the storm surge went that far inland. But yeah, with the River..makes it tough to tell and it makes it extremely tricky to know how far out north/south of the river overflowed and water went out

12 hrs without power here in Marianna. Borrowed a generator and spent 5 hrs getting it to run. Thanks to the internets I now know how to troubleshoot a small gas engine and rebuild a carberator ??

And now, wine. Lots of red wine.
