We have been out twice now, very windy. took shelter behind the beach front building. Condo complex didn't take on to much damage. 3 or 4 cars hit by falling roof tiles. the rest is superficial. cell phone getting spotty service

[perfect match]

Very glad to see you post and know that all is relatively well. I was beginning to wonder since you hadn't posted since this morning.

:o

The port web cam is up and was scanning around surveying the damage. I'm going to guess in the future, if time allows, Fishlips will take down the tarp roof.

We actually made it out twice today. Had to find a spot clear of the wind

 

 

 

Weather cam survived the entire storm. :D

You must have done an excellent job mounting it.:)

A tug boat and another boat broke loose and crashed into the dock at Grills. Unknown on possible damage.

 

Two tugs that were apparently moored at Fishlips broke loose and wound up against the deck at Grills. There is video of this and the surrounding business area posted on the Fishlips FB page.

I bet Bella was happy to go out :)

WOW, great job on mounting the weather cam. Two thumbs up.

According to the news, the Port is still closed. Majesty is currently docked in Ft Lauderdale. Disney is not there and may be waiting for the Port to open.

I'm enjoying CC while I still have electricity- I might not be back for a while:)

 

Hope you made it through the storm okay.:)

She's doing her best, clinging to mommy. I might take her out once the wind shifts to north. no elevator though. :eek: Tuned off to prevent damage from power surges.

 

Weather cam still up, the real test will be once south winds hit it.

Glad you made it through OK. I've been lurking on this thread since it started and I wondered all day yesterday how things would go for you.

Only seeing one person from Florida checking in today. I see on the news over 1 million people have no electricity. Hope everyone is safe.

Not much to update. Orlando weathered the storm pretty well, but there are areas without water and power. I know that Cocoa Beach has a sewage backup issue, Flagler has major damage on A1A, and Ormond Beach has a water main break.

 

300,000 people lost power in Central Florida, historic Flagler College has major flooding, St Augustine has flooding, Altamonte Springs has flooding.

The Coast Guard just came in with 2 tug boats. A sign the port is about to open?

The Disney Dream is approaching the port so I assume they'll be let in.

[BillOh]

So it is, with Carnival Dream right behind.

I've spent the morning taking pictures of the damage and filing my insurance claim. We've been without power and on generator since yesterday morning. Power should be restored to our area by late tomorrow night. It might be a little longer in my case. My next door neighbors pine tree is laying across the power lines so that tree has to be removed before power's restored.

and Carnival Valor as well.

Looks like not yet, ships circling outside port...

Oh, so close and yet so far - what the folks on board must be thinking.

Going in circles for a while now...close enough to see the port from the ship...

I hope for the best for these people. My family was in a similar situation with Hurricane Charlie. We were on board the Disney Magic, docking in Port Canaveral. They shuttled us to the airport, only to find thousands of people stuck there because flights were cancelled until the following day. It was chaos! I called around and found a hotel that could accommodate us. Many hotels did not have power. During the cab ride to the hotel, we saw some destruction - billboards torn apart, trees down, lots of large debris in the streets, and some flooding. We stayed two nights before being able to fly home. It was not fun.
