Hurricane Ian
« on: September 28, 2022, 04:16:40 pm »
I hope all of our friends in south Florida got to high ground or safe locations before this monster hurricane hit. I've been watching special reports on the storm and it looks very bad. This is the 5th strongest hurricane ever to hit the US. It made land fall as a Cat 4 hurricane at 155mph but that is only 2mph less than a Cat 5, the highest level.

I talked to Bonepile and Steve Parnell before power was lost. Roger and Steve was Okay at the time. Both live about twenty miles north and south of where it came ashore. So I know they took a pounding. Steve's wife was watching the house while Steve was with his mother and She said a tornado just missed the house. It made a direct hit in my home town and most are without power and some of my friends have gotten up to 18" of rain so far. I haven't heard from my kids yet this morning, either. Looks like it's headed straight for me when it gets to SC.

I knew Steve and Roger were down there but not sure where. Looks like Ian is heading for Charleston by noon Friday. We are expecting heavy rain here Saturday. I hope your family are all OK Eddie and Steve and Roger are OK too.

Yes prayers for everyone. Sure glad we don’t get those here. I’ve seen 7” of rain and I can’t imagine 20” let alone a huge storm surge.

Hello guys.  Angie and I have come through fine and our place has minimal superficial damage, so we are lucky.  My dear friend since we were teenagers that lives by the Sanibel causeway has lost his house, cars, stuff, etc.  But, they were able to swim to neighbors place on stilts and survive.

My mom did pass away yesterday morning.  I am grateful her suffering is over.  We are ok.

Best to you all,

Stephen Parnell

Glad you and Angie are ok Steve.

Sorry for your loss, but understand. Just went thru it with my dad. I wish you all peace.

Feel for your friend. That would certainly be difficult but I’m glad they are safe

Bjrogg good

Talked to Roger yesterday and he said the eye wall hit them but his biggest problem was 2' of rain and trying to keep the river running through his back and front yard out of the house. Her also has a heck of a mess to clean up in his yard.
