As one who has endured hurricanes since Hurricanes Betsy, Carol, Charley, Andrew, Irma, (and many other
SE Florida hurricanes since 1961), having power restored to 98.5% of the state
in less than a week is remarkable!
As seen through my windshield last Saturday, Hurricane Ian's massive swath cut through South Carolina as well. (
Georgia to a lesser extent).
When this hurricane came ashore, it took a right turn and the center passed
directly across my little lake!
(Although this "little" lake is about three times the size of Winter Harbor). Most here in central Florida were without power for four days.
After four days here, I've identified very little damage; however, I've just learned another nearby neighbor is moving back here to wait out reconstruction on his house
in Ft. Myers!
