Watch video to see what hurricane Ian did to the area I was in.

It is noteworthy to mention that

  * Many/most street signs were down or lost. You may need GPS mapping
    to navigate unfamiliar areas.
  * A nearby Cellular tower's antennas were damaged. You and your
    neighbors may lose mobile service.
    All but T-Mobile lost service in the neighborhood.
  * Days after the storm rivers flooded highways and byways that were
    open immediately after the storm.
    Ingress/egress (supplies/evacuation) routes may need to be
    re-evaluated day-by-day.
  * In North Port, FL, all shelters were at primary schools...likely
    that there were no bathing facilities.
    Had the shelters been in High Schools, they would likely have showers.


My sister had T-Mobile. She walked around the neighborhood offering 
health/welfare phone calls.

73, Chuck
