Any damage to your property?
 

Woke up at my usual 4am, winds still prevail, but didn’t lose power, and internet intermittently on and off. Winds will keep us inside, but what sunlight is available will report the rise of our pond, and any visible damage. We are Canal and Odell Circle. So those who are new we are South of LSL, Near Seabreeze Regional.
Hope everyone has good reports, looks like we were very lucky.

Phewwww! We dodged an Ian bullet, prayers for those in the path.

In South area. All seems ok.

Good so far as I can tell. District 5. Northern part of it.

District 7 just north of 466A we are fine

Grass is wet.

I am happy to have my view of the gulf waters in Hudson return after Ian with no damage at the condo and the house in Lake Deaton.

Looks like we lucked out and it fizzled faster than expected. Those on the SW Coast are definitely in a hurt locker, but we managed to dodge another bullet.

All is well South of the Turnpike

Watching convoys of Duke energy trucks head out from their staging area on 470 to start repairs to the east.

"Duke Energy is staging more than 2,000 utility trucks with 6,000 workers on an 80-acre site in The Villages to respond to outages throughout Florida. Utility companies from other states and Canada are assisting Florida line personnel. "

Distict 11 , Pine Ridge. Power fine and pond behind us less full than after Irma. Never seemed to have excessive winds or real heavy rain. Looks like we got around 6" since Tuesday.

Whew, after much concern overnight the neighborhood here looks okay.

My bush survived the night. "We've got bush!" :duck:

The pond behind me here on Palmetto Golf Course looks great! ������

No palm fronds, or shingles anywhere in sight. The pond which maybe close to 1.5 acres or larger, is about 1’ higher than 8am Wednesday.

After Irma the pond was at the top of berm, close to spilling onto the road, adding 10 plus feet of water, plus both of our tunnels were under water. Can’t get to the rain gage until wind stops, but I am sure someone will post rainfall soon

We are very fortunate the storm turned more Easterly last evening which took much of TV out of harms way.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the very many who were/are not as fortunate.

God help those poor people in SW Florida. I know someone who did not leave his Sanibel Island home. The water is over his first floor and the causeway to the island has come apart. He just cancelled his flood insurance which was $10000 a year. Some people make poor choices. So glad we did not suffer any damage.

live N end Springdale.. I don't see any damage in the neighborhood.. does anyone actually know how much rain we actually got?

#ThoughtsAndPrayers

Our street is barely wet too. No damage here in Mallory Square. This is the reason we do not wish to live near a coast.

Followed your lead.


:beer3:

Traffic light at Canal and Odell Circle is no longer attached to pole, and is dangling from its wires. Truck with flashing lights just parked at the scene. Of course it hasn’t slowed down those who are out driving:eek:

Nerd...:laugh:

Our bird fell down and will not get up. Guess I have to go out there.

I watched video of my camera footage last night. 3.5 inches of rain and a few wind gusts. Big nothing

Terrible news. Looks like your friend is lucky to be alive. Hope person can absorb such a large loss.

We had 37 leaves exit the property. The wife is devastated.

The people down south is who we need to be worrying about.

I am sad to report that we lost a pool noodle to the winds last night. God's speed noodle, you served us well.

Just two almond bushes blown over; pulled them back upright, trimmed them down to about 3’ tall, everything great again.

In the Santiago area, lots of the usual palm fronds, Spanish moss, and small branches in the streets and multi-modal paths. El Diablo golf course has at least 6 sink holes on the 2nd and 3rd holes.

Sigh…. You do realize there is damage and flooding inland in the path of the hurricane. You were luckier than the devil The Villages was spared, THIS time.

I don't think luck has anything to do with the way The Villages prevents flooding. We have a great water management system here in The Villages. Does anyone have an idea how much rain water the system can handle in a certain time frame? I believe this system is the reason we have not flooded during storms. Well, south of 466 hasn't flooded as far as I know.

I do agree with you that The Villages was spared with where the eye came ashore and that jog to the east helped too. I wonder how The Villages would have fared if the eye of the storm came ashore directly west of us and traveled directly over The Villages. Would the water management system prevented flooding?

Many of the golf courses would have flooded... Which is part of the water management system,. Better to flood a golf course than flood hundreds of homes...

It was the unprecedented storm surge on top of relentless rain. Obviously,, we wouldn't have had the storm surge from the ocean. My question now is are there enough immigrants to do all the clean up?

r.i.p.

We live South of 466A and had no problems.
We were very lucky.

We were very lucky but sad to see our banana tree suffered damage and looks like no bananas to be had for some time.
