DW and I are heading to Florida on Friday down 75 and I have been seeing all the destruction left by hurricane Michael. Going to Fort Myers area down 75 and just want to confirm if any issues from Ontario to Fort Myers that I need to be aware of.

Thanks,

Noticed you are coming from Canada.
It Depends, WHERE are you picking up I-75?

If you are coming down from around the Ohio area, you are fine.
If you are coming down and then using I-10 or other roads "thru the panhandle coast line", THAT is where the hurricane hit.

We are coming down Nov 6. How is 231 in Alab and I10 thru the panhandle?

I would refer all out of state snowbirds coming down to Florida to google the Dept of Transportation in each of the cities they plan to be driving "thru and around the Florida panhandle" to get 'live' updates of the road conditions. There is also a DOT website for every state n the US.

Here is the link for the Federal FDOT.

The dreaded 90's days are finally long gone. Albeit I'm sure will have a couple more. :C

The panhandle is where the hurricane hit.

If you are coming from Illinois why don't you just take 65 to Birmingham and then take 20 east to 75. That is the route I used to take when I was snowbird.
