One of my first SnowBird clients are driving down to Cape Coral tomorrow. They have been in touch with their full time Floridian neighbors and friends who told them it is bad. 4-5 feet of water in their home (new kitchen was completed this past July) Boat on its side in the cradle, convertible floating in front yard. They live on a canal too. I helped by picking out cordless tools, masks, lots of gloves and a charging station that were being loaded into their SUV for the trip, along with food and water. They plan on leaving that vehicle there for friends to use. Two friends' boats are missing... 40' and a 60'... They will fly back in a couple of days after they go through their drawers to see what can be salvaged and then turn it over to a contractor to clean out.

That one changed ( updated ) the building codes for the entire east coast with the help ;-) of the insurance lobbies
