How disheartening. You have to feel for all that lost a beloved boat. Hopefully that is all they lost.
Did the TV and radio forget to warn them about the hurricane ?
Ben Stein of Panbo lost a Carver 570 in that mess, it looks like: https://panbo.com/ben-stein-family-...GcddqT2lEhaBrYa7qoLagrZ6hQArtDQb02nrWY-x09ocA
Meanwhile, the insurance companies have an army of attorneys searching all the issued policies, searching for a loophole, hoping to avoid paying any and all claims.
Now that frosts my cheeks.
And then they'll probably raise rates by another big chunk for those of us nowhere near hurricane areas.

Oh wow I wonder if the is the Great Harbor that is for sale on TF.

I know there are hundreds (thousands?) of Ft Meyers storm videos out there, but to those of us on this forum, here's one of particular interest. Just the first few seconds. Bow to the wind, running against it. Wonder if he saved the boat.

Bottom line, you're insured only as long as you don't need it or actually use it.

We have cruised through the Okeechobee waterway many times and always speculated about it’s usefulness as a storm refuge. Most of it is like a canal with few places to anchor. If one managed to move a boat past a lock maybe you could anchor mid channel and tie off to the sides. It would take a lot of lines and would impede navigation but once the locks close traffic should stop. Probably have to stay on the boat to adjust lines and allow for any boat traffic. Impractical? Violate regulations?
It appears that storm surge overtopped Franklin dam. Below are Franklin and Ortona gauges showing headwater and tailwater levels. Franklin tail and head rose from 2-4’ and equalized around 9’, while Ortona tailwater rose from 3’ to around 10’.
Can anybody confirm this and comment on any high water effects?

Has anyone seen reports or video of Burnt Store Marina?
We have friends that store their boat there and wondering how they faired.
One broadside turn to the wind and you're in serious trouble.
Hard to tell with that potato resolution video clip. You can see a wake coming off it and the swells don't look that lumpy yet.I think it’s a fake. Notice how the boat isn’t pitching at all, despite significant chop in the water.

I was on the fake side at first but after reviewing it does look like spray coming off the bow a few times???Hard to tell with that potato resolution video clip. You can see a wake coming off it and the swells don't look that lumpy yet.
