Fence was crushed and lost some shingles, but boat just filled with leaves.
Makes sense Ron.....
Same thing here around 1:00 AM
With you and I about 70 miles apart !!
Had those gusts over a hundred till around 3-4 AM
Dogs barking every time something bounced off the roof...
No way to sleep with that going on.
More concerned with the 9.14 inches of rain running down hill washing
my private road out..

Generac still running, going through 100 lbs a day !!!

Default Link for post-Irma Imagery

Post Irma aerial imagery of Keys and Naples areas for those that need to see if structures remain before going down. At this point, they do not show imagery for Sugarloaf/Cudjoe/Big Pine areas.

https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/irma/index.html

I sent in an inquiry about imagery for Cudjoe and will edit this post if/when I get a reply.

Here is the reply I got at 0837 on 9/13/17:
Thank you for contacting NOAA's National Geodetic Survey

We have had several challenges acquiring imagery for Cudjoe Key. These include other aircraft - search and rescue and supply that take priority, reduced air traffic control and refueling capabilities, and limitation to our operations - mainly cloud cover and having a local base of operations.

We are attempting this area again for the third time this morning, hopefully we will be successful.

Please continue to monitor the Irma website (https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/irma/index.html). It is updated daily - usually in the evening hours.


IMAGERY OF LOWER KEYS IS NOW UP

Fortunately, all fine in Satellite Beach. No property damage, but lots of yard debris. Power went out 5:45pm Sunday, and back on about an hour ago.

Canvas on the top took some damage on the 23'. I can live with that.

Thoughts and prayers for those that were less fortunate.

Lloyd

7 Days now Generac running 10 hrs. with a two hour cool down and back on for 10 more every day.
Burning 1/4 qt 10-30 Synthetic every 24 hrs...
Consuming 100 lbs of propane a day...

Patti & I ran to Wally World at 6:30 this evening, gave Generac an
extra break while gone for an hour and half. Pulled in, hit Auto switch
fired right up, opened garage door went inside unloading our supplies..
All of a sudden total darkness ..
Grabbed flash light to go check old faithful. OverHeat light flashing red !
You know what I said and it was not "Oh my gosh"...
Long story short the two spade lugs to the temp switch were not making
a good connection.. (God bless Google) Cleaned and tightened them up and Varoom...
Generac running smoothly again ! I hate spade lugs in a high vibration
heat situation.... Going to drill holes and put screws with lock nuts
when power comes back on... FP&L is saying Tuesday..
One glimmer of hope was an Asplundh crew was on my driveway today
from 9:30 till 4:30
Only need pole replaced and line crew now.
Seems to be a shortage of poles which makes sense with Texas
taking most of them...
If we get power by Tuesday Patti and I will likely only be able to come
for the Saturday pot luck...

Ken-

Sorry to hear that you are still out of power. That sucks...

How much propane do you have on site and how much longer until that runs out?

I wish I could offer some assistance

Ed
