Irma

[FLexpat]

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

While down here ,are there any places to flyfish from Beach or Bank.. fresh or salt???

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.

The keys is no place to be, no high grounds to climb, only falling coconuts!
Probably headed to area 442, ....if Irma follows, then we may continue north!
A little nudge East is good, a bigger nudge East and out to the Atlantic would be better.
Listening Irma?

Be safe everyone.

Steve,

Skip, Carla and her brother Ron from Homosassa stayed with Patti & I.
They left yesterday to go back to NO electric, NO water, NO sewer, NO cell service, NO internet / landline.......
Carl & Jeanne were relocated to the center of the state north..

Imagery for lower Keys is up (see post #61 in this thread). Checked my In-laws house on Cudjoe; structure is still there, clearly a lot of surge damage, boat gone, neighborhood is toast. At least it looks like the roof is still there so we won't get as wet when it rains while we are rebuilding it.

Thank you for the update Ken. Praying for a quick recovery for them all.

Maybe I am not seeing it, but from the NOAA link and the flights on the 13th it looks like the vast majority of the roofs on Cudjoe and the surrounding areas are intact? What am I missing?

Looks like Camp England is good
