I am not sure how many members we have from Florida here. I feel like I only know of two (one being inactive for quite some time), but I am very guarded with locations or personal information about anyone, as I am my own.
I have family that lost their house in Charlotte County. They weren't there for the storm, but a lot of their neighbors didn't evacuate because the early forecasts showed that Ian would make landfall near Tampa. The last they had heard from their neighbors on Wednesday, the roof of their house was coming off. The eye basically went right over their neighborhood, according to the neighbors.
My family was planning to visit them in the coming weeks for our first family vacation that we have been able to swing in years. Please do not think that I am complaining at all about missing our vacation because that is obviously nothing compared to losing their house and the sheer devastation that entire cities in Florida are experiencing right now. I think that just makes it hit a little closer to home for us. I have been to a lot of these places that are apparently under water now or just demolished. I still can't even fully comprehend it all.
They are gathering supplies to head back in the coming days. No communication from any neighbors since Wednesday (I am guessing power and internet/cell service are down), so they are not entirely sure what they will be returning to. I am not really sure why I am posting any of this. I think that I am just mildly shocked by the situation and feel for everyone who is dealing with this in some way currently. My heart and thoughts are with all of the people experiencing any of this. Positive vibes...
