What is even more crazy is the guy with the brand new McLaren that floated out of his garage - $1,000,000 down the drain for him or the insuracne company - wht not get in it and drive it the hell away - a lot easier than moving a boat.
piles of wrecked boats in Florida
- Thread starter Nitt1300
- Start date
Early in the week they predicted the storm was headed to the panhandle. They revised it to Tampa, then Sarasota, then Ft Myers the day it hit. Not easy to sail north.

We had 2 cracked roof tiles, which cost $60 to fix. Paid the roofer guy cash. This is a little less than our hurricane deductible, lol.
The pool cage screens are a different story. The large one that was dislodged off the top we cut and temporarily installed it where the side panel was pushed out by a magnolia tree that had blown over onto it. Of course we trimmed all the magnolia branches on the side of the tree that were sticking into the pool cage. Our insurance covers the pool cage, but only the structure and not the panels. So we will have to pay to have the damaged or missing ones replaced out of pocket. Hopefully it can be done within the next 6 months.
Being in the northern eyewall with 120 mph winds, we were lucky to not get any worse damage. And I don’t own a boat so there was nothing to worry about there. I had friends who had boats and I learned that I never wanted to own one. Our RV didn’t have a scratch, either, as it was in a covered storage facility.

Live in Bonita Springs and lost our insurance earlier in the year but found an insurer at twice the cost of before. This hurricane has Finally convinced the wife to get the hell out of Florida, except it's a year to late.
Tired of every year wondering if you'll have a home when you come back after summer. It's only going to get worse and eventually it will either be under water or blown off the map. Winter's are not that bad.

Good illustration of how hard it is based on the uncertainty of the forecast more than 3 days out.
