Imagine you battened down your house before leaving.
Prayers for all.

St Johns River is at 2.67 ft over normal prior to hurricane which is minor flood here now before the hurricane. Another 10 inches rain predicted in our area but actual wind direction before during and after Ian passes will determine how much/how long for flood.
With Ian buzzing up west coast and across, substantial portion of state will be affected by wind/rain/ both. We wouldn't bet against  more flood as " least case " scenario for us. An IAO (improvise/adapt/overcome) for sure. Current predicted track is over us .

At some point power usually goes here. Before that happens, I Just put up an adaptive post for instructors. Please read, comment, ask questions here:

Back to prepping for us…..

The IMPOSSIBLE is Not always impossible when an IAO (improvise, adapt, & overcome) is applied! Add focus, creativity and stubborn to win!

" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

I hope our people in the west and central areas weathered this with just a few minor bruises.

Hope my Florida brothers get through this without too many problems.

At least all the instructors I've ever met are prepared for just about everything unlike many people in this country. They're smarter than the average bear.

Ouch.....

Some of our brothers and sisters are hurting..  I am sorry I am out of the county. If you need help you have friends. Please reach out.  I find Appleseed people are some of the best people on the planet.

Also remember, I know some of our instructors are lineman, Publix workers and every other person trying their best to get you back to normal.   Show them some love.   

If you are ok thank God...now go help your neighbor. :).  It's what we do!

Hey y'all. Please start calling around, assuming this is possible, and check on your fellow Appleseed cadre in the area.

We were fine up in Jacksonville, but have (had) a family home on Ft. Myers Beach, its gone.
Also two uncle's homes in the area had heavy damage.
We hope everyone else is OK.
Wasn't that a mighty storm...
