"Twinboom" got hit pretty hard. He's getting a lot of help from friends and neighbors, but his daughter has started a GoFundMe page for those who would like to help out.
Maybe this should be a sticky at the top of the boards.

Ian tore up our home in the Cape and we just completed repairing recently. It was crazy that I knew a few people that had their  flood policies canceled just before the storm

TRALFZ - My girlfriend lives in Cape Coral and I was down there helping her after Ian. She just finished with the last bit of the repairs as well.  She's out of the flood zone and is just gonna hunker down.  I'd be down there but I had to move to Nashville to take care of the Mom-unit.   

Hoping the best for you all... been a tough couple years for the west coast.

Anyone trying to evacuate should remember to use the smaller roads that run parallel to I95. 

Just remember that going through most towns has you making a turn at the main traffic light to continue through town.   Not all are straight through.

I drove on I-95 from West Palm Beach and the parking lot started at Jupiter inlet.    So......I went to Jupiter Donuts to contemplate and top up the car.     
There, a "scrappy johnson" looking guy directing traffic in his gas station told me  "Those  morons on I-95 don't know jack..............US1 is wide open"
Both US1 and A1A were wide open with US1 having stretches of 65mph speed limits between towns.
I watched the parking lot on I-95 as I sailed past at 45mph average speed (including traffic lights).   

I did the same thing with I-10 until I had to turn onto 85 north and then going 100mph on georgia 400 and getting passed because they just drive that fast.

Wind/fire (homeowners) premium is about 6k a year
Flood runs around 4k for us. However we are in a flood zone. I have a higher elevated home but being a rental, we pay the highest premium.

Hurricane has a deductible..

Sink hole coverage is not covered unless you pay more $$$

Looks like landfall might be south of the mouth of Tampa Bay,  that is the major concern as it could easily shut down that major port

My broker shopped my flood insurance awhile back. While he was shopping it, we were hit by Harvey. Local official gage broke at 51.88 inches. We had a good bit more. Not far down the road they had just over 62 inches. My home is not in a flood zone but had a couple of inches in it. Insurance stood good and we came out fine.

I figured we would not be able to find a better deal after that but my broker said he was still shopping. He said it was not a problem. He actually found better coverage for less with a reputable insurance. You just never know.
