I like it, I think, but how are the straps anchored into the ground?

Hey, WE'RE GOOD!!!!
Just cleaned out the trees, I'll get some pics later if interested, Pete down south of me prolly got it worse, haven't heard from him.
Hit up Steve (A91what) and he's good. He's between me and cigar city (Tampa).

Orlando area here. Still getting heavy wind gust/rain but quick survey of the yard only shows some downed limbs. Still have power which is good although its been flickering here and there so until the wind stops, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

No damage, but still on generator.

My ex-SIL rode it out in Lehigh Acres, but I've not heard anything from her in about 24 hours. I know they had some flooding in Ft Myers. Wonder if she still thinks that dealing with storms like this is better than dealing with snow.....

Pictures starting to come in now. LOTS of damage around Ft. Myers!

Photos: Hurricane Ian leaves 'historic' damage in Florida

In a briefing Thursday morning, Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “The impacts of this storm are historic and the damage that was done has been historic, and this is just off initial assessments.”

The house behind me have very large trees over them, and I can stand under my back porch roof and watch them bend. I can't stop going outside because I love this stuff.

The NBC nightly news pics were nasty. Even Cherry lived forceffect, that’s a lot of water and damage in places.
@Ronin38
If the straps are not photoshopped, they are likely held to earth anchors like for mobile homes, Newley planted trees etc.

Power just came back on. Trees down everywhere, and some are on houses. My pool cage is in the pool that is also full of leaves. I'm very fortunate that this is all I have for problems. I just watched a video on CNN of an older women going up a teather to a helicopter holding her cat. That actually got me worse than anything. Good to be back

Good to hear from you, Pete!

I just a picture of a Maclaren P1 bobbing about in the water. That's about a $1 million loss. I don't expect insurance will cover that one.

I think there is a $25,000 deductable for hurricane. Imagine that. We will see soon. $12-14 grand for what I need. Plus i need a new roof cause mine is old and ins wants it fixed to renew another $15k. Getting way to old to come up with this. Hopefully all this damage needs some painting, and Ill be busy again. These interest rates have slowed me down to a trickle. They need to stop with the raises they are going to kill a lot of people

Something I was thinking about yesterday when I was puttering around the yard, where do the butterflies and birds, squirrels go during a hurricane?
Oh, glad you're ok @Potomus Pete

They claimed they were from Nicaragua and DeSantis flew them to Martha's Vineyard.

My sister in law lives in section 8 housing in Massachusetts, and over the last year she is surrounded with Afgans, and Ukrainians. She says they all have small children and new clothes. Plus they are all smoking fourteen dollar packs of cigaretts. I moved out of there at seventeen because I was so pissed how everybody was not working but me. You cant compete with people that live for free
