Hurricane

I am headed to the skyway to watch the kite surfers
 
100 miles off shore and the surge was brutal for St. Pete and Clearwater. Our home was fine but going on 30 hours without power. The barrier islands saw up to 9 feet surge.

This one hit real. People on my Facebook groups begging to be saved, stuck on roofs and attics. police wouldn’t allow boaters to launch last night. Water receded and left 1-2 feet of sand in certain areas. Still cannot get on islands to help people.
