...and, it appears that it's highly likely now that my nephew is going to end up homeless.
It sucks, but he will take it in stride, I imagine.
Course, he won't be alone in it. I fear a good many will be losing everything as well.

He always says that this is just what people already know if they live near the water in FL.
He's been through all the major storms.
Charlie, Wilma, Andrew, etc. that have gone though Florida in the last 25 years.
He rode out Sandy in a 3 room block home in The Bahamas with only a sand dune between him and the ocean.
I've still not heard back from him, (emails and texting) not sure why, he just may not want to talk about any of it. I've seen him in the daily fishing pics, so I know he's still there.
Where he lives, when he's not in Alaska, is Chokoloskee Island, it's S of Naples.
They just said, they're looking at a possible 10-15 ft. storm surge S of Ft. Myers...that would be his area.
There will be nothing left on Chokoloskee, or Everglade City, I suppose if they get that much.
Everything was under 8 ft. of water after Wilma there, and only a handful of homes are on stilts.
Many are park model homes or pull type trailers.
I'm very thankful that he's in Alaska right now, and I don't have to worry about him being safe.

My heart is heavy for all those in areas that have been and will be impacted by these storms.
