I live at the beach where Milton came ashore. We get views like this every day.
Bugs are a big deal here so pools are screened in.
The weather in the winter is absolutely gorgeous here. The weather is so warm in the winter that heat is not a building code requirement. Most restaurants and stores don't have heat at all.
Stunning pics@Musicman!!! You certainly do live in paradise!!! I can see why many ppl move there even tho the threat of hurricanes exist. Thank you for sharing pics of your area. They are spectacular! Another place to put on my bucket list!
@Blondily FPL, Florida Power and Light, says we should have our electricity back by Wednesday at 11:55 pm. Personally I don't get why they just don't say midnight. We will leave Alabama tomorrow and it is a two day drive home.
@Blondily Me too. After hurricane Ian we put in claims to FEMA, that's who flood insurance is through, and our insurance company. FEMA flat out said they were not paying and to apply to the SBA, Small Business Administration, for a loan to repair our place. Our insurance company is owned by the state. After they seriously short changed us we tried suing them. The judge said they had already been sued too many times. He wouldn't hear the case and told us to be happy with what we got. 😡😡😡
@Musicman You've got to be kiddjng me? Thats outragoius having flood insurance that isnt going to cover it. Im just speechless. Talk about being cruel. Thats how I see it. What about the current flood issue?
@Blondily For 7 years I paid $4000 a year for flood insurance. After being blown off I didn't renew the policy. We'll see what the insurance company says this time.
