Praying for TRT and others that live near Steinhatchee. Landfall was just a couple miles south of where Idalia made landfall. The east shift spared us near St. Marks.
As far as Illinoisfisherman getting surge yesterday at AP, it is totally possible. With approaching storms, esp. from the SW, the storm tends to push water ahead of it. Given the Bend in the coastline, there isn't anywhere for the water to go so it stacks up. As the storm gets closer it will then push the water out on the W side. Hurricane Dennis was 150 nm offshore of here and we got a 9-10 ft surge.

Just lost power in Dixie. My anxiety was high but is even higher when I can't watch the cameras

My neighbor across the street still has power. He's going to check on my place once he's able to. I'm a 3 hour drive on a good day.

I thought you were there. Well, good luck on the property.
I lost a house in Gulf County to Michael. The waiting to see what damage occurs is nervewracking.

Left Maitland yesterday morning and went to Rocky Creek to help my cousin empty his camp. I left there and went to my camp in High Springs. Got there at 3:40pm. First rain band had already arrived. I emptied the refrigerator and freezer. Power was already out. 3 trees down on Bible Camp. Got home at 6:45. Tired today at work. Hoping the best for us all.

I ran up Friday afternoon, filled all the feeders, changed camera batteries, mowed, trimmed tree limbs near the roof line, and buttoned up the house. Left Saturday afternoon hoping for the best. Wish I would have emptied the freezer. No idea why that didn't occur to me until I just read 6thGen's post.

Lots or rain at my place. Back porch flooded for a little bit. Wife was freaking out and asking me what we were going to do. There's about a 3-4" lip from the porch to the bottom of the door. I told her if the water comes up that high the entire neighbor is under water. LOL
It just needed some time to drain out of the screen porch.
Neighbors house flooded because of their pool and back sliding glass door.

$20 Amazon sump pump would have saved them a lot of trouble. Ran mine for a solid 1.5 hours yesterday to keep the pool down.

Pictures I saw most recently showed it splitting Jena and Steinhatchee. Basically coming right up the mouth of the Steinhatchee River

$20 Amazon sump pump would have saved them a lot of trouble. Ran mine for a solid 1.5 hours yesterday to keep the pool down. They just bought the house and had it remodeled. It had previous flooded based on underneath after pulling up the old flooring. They have no backyard and a drain along the boarder of the house and pool deck. I told him he might want to add a lip between the drain and sliding glass door. He said the drain needed cleaned out and everything should be good. I bet he's wishing he had put a lip there now. I haven't seen the damage yet but considering they redid everything it's still got to suck regardless of the damage.
