Where is Indian Mound in relation to Stump Pass Marina. I have a place in Rotonda West but never heard of it. Good Luck down there. Most of my neighbors left.

Re: Reporting live from Englewood FL & Irma.
JThomas, it is 4 miles up the coast. Located in downtown Englewood, just south of Dearborn St & Englewood Rd. It is like a little peninsula.
Still light rain and a strong breeze. All kinds of people leaving here today as they worried all night. Don't know where they are going. FL and GA has evacuation warnings. I-75 is open northbound in all lanes including southbound lanes.It is 300 miles to the state line from here, if I were to leave I would run out of gas about there. I believe all who left previously have probably bought it all up. Being that I'm at 13 feet elevation and most of all Englewood is around 10 feet, I don't think it would be wise to leave here. I am going to put on my Homer Simpson hat that says, "have no fear, have a beer" I have heard that animals can sense things going on, my two dachshunds and big sheppard are laying around like it is siesta time. So much for them. Power has flickered only once so far, but that is common during any storm. Talk at you later. Ron Ortiz U/SA wish I was racing

My sister-in-law judged posted a video of the water going out of Charlotte Harbor.

Re: Reporting live from Englewood FL & Irma.
Ron and anyone else who is reading this.
When there are tornado warnings in the Louisville area, I bring in my two crash helmets for my wife and I to wear in case we were to take a hit close to the house. So Ron you might keep your helmet(s) handy if the winds get real serious to at least protect from flying debris that could cause head injuries. |
