Does anyone have a link to a rainfall totals map? Interested in how much rain has fallen in the Daytona Beach/ New Smyrna Beach area.
Sheriff of Volusia County was on the Weather Channel about an hour ago and said they've had over 30" of rain in some areas and that they're "completely inundated."

So you're admitting that insurance companies don't even bear the risk, they just pass it on and continue the chain of fricking over their premium payers.
I know it’s popular to pile on insurance carriers BUT this is the real world and insurance companies, like it or not, have to make a profit to remain in business. They also don’t have a magic money fairy to shake down either. I don’t know why this is so hard to grasp…and furthermore it is a good thing for insurance carriers to make a profit and have deep pockets. The last things folks want are carriers to not be solvent for catastrophic events like this in particular.
I am by no means an economist or business model expert but the notion that loss ratios and risks involved to insure property in certain regions setting premium rates is pretty basic. And as an insurance agent, we don’t just work for free either…we generally try our best to be on point with our expertise in coverages and all but if you want shitty service and to be left on your own….which I can assure you that you don’t want this…keep looking for ways to make insurance companies less profitable and disincentivize agents to perform at a high level.
Insurance carriers and agents are easy to make as scapegoats, I get that…low hanging fruit here but a huge service is provided by them. Don’t be so simplistic in this, there’s a lot more to all this than meets the lay person’s eye.

Sadly there are a lot of older people with a lot of money that just don’t have the will or energy to evacuate so they take their chances and some pay with their lives some get lucky. They are hard headed and set in their way ad there’s nothing anyone can do or say to them to change their minds
The other issue is many people have no clue the destruction that these storms bring. We know because we live here, experienced it and are hurricane thread junkies. Some of my employees had no clue what happened yesterday because once it was not coming here, they checked out of keeping up.
In the future, when trying to get people to evacuate, they need to start showing coverage of the storm surge all the storms bring to coastal communities. maybe that will get people off their arse.

To give you guys an idea about Bonita Springs, this was a rescue of an old man sitting in his car at the Prime Steakhouse. You can goggle that spot and see where it is. This is the sort of stuff that leads to deaths.
That’s the most baffling thing. If that old man drives 60 min north, he wouldn’t have gotten himself or the people that helped him in that life-or-death situation.

Still waiting for a check in from poster Dexterous who stayed back with his dog. Location was on the Sarasota/Manatee county line

That's insane current. I was a little over a year in my ems career, started in New Orleans, when Katrina hit. I don't even remember seeing current like that but maybe I've simply forgotten. Lots of standing water for sure.

And he other parif the process starts that people don't understand and decide to stay. OK you made it through the storm. Now the infrastructure is totally gone. What you gonna do for the next week? Or 2?

Alot of people are too reliant on these Hurricane tracking charts too. Look the technology is almost perfect now with the cones and track models being pretty precise. Ian is like many others Hurricanes is not fully predictable and if these tracker models are off by a couple miles means people get caught with their pants down and this equals deaths.
Eta: I do believe the Fort Meyers area believed that Tampa was going to be ground zero until the very end. The Florida keys almost got hit as well with it being nowhere near the intial hurricane models.

Water in NOLA from Katrina was from levees breaking. This was a mean storm surge. Mississippi coast likely saw similar conditions during Katrina.

The center of Ian is moving offshore and signature is still quite healthy per regional observations and radar appearance. Ian has moved offshore sooner than was forecast several days ago and the current forecast track brings this feature over or very close to the Gulf Stream with water temps still upwards of 29C/85F (supportive of intensity >= Category 1) prior to landfall. Those in the forecast path of this second landfall need to start making preparations...
Thoughts/prayers to those impacted.
