heard from from kids in Tampa this morning. Their electric came on last evening but no cell service till this morning. Good thing was no damage other than trees. So I guess some parts of Tampa were worse than others.
I'm a bit south of Tampa, on the bay, and we were pretty much spared from the effects of Ian. Some tree damage, but that's about it. We were lucky it took the east turn, but the people in Ft Myers suffered the effects.
I traveled down I-75 yesterday to Key West. Traveling on the interstate, there is little evidence of the destruction that took place just a few miles west in Ft. Myers and a few miles east in Arcadia. There were a few trees down, some signage down and the most notable issue was the netting at Top Golf had been wiped out. They were working on it when I passed by at 5 a.m. and working on it when I went by at 6 pm. I guess they really want to hit golf balls.
