I wish we had maps like that. Georgia Power just has little lighting bolts all over the place that don't tell you anything at all.

About 400,000 without power here.
Houses lost in Newfoundland. These people have lived by the sea their whole lives.

There was a small town (population around 700) called McClellanville just northeast of Charleston, South Carolina back in 1989 when Hugo hit. After the storm, the South Carolina State Patrol sent a couple of officers out that way because nobody had heard from anybody there. They got to right about where the city limits should be, and there was a house sitting right in the middle of the road.
The old lady that owned the house was sitting on the front porch drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette. She informed the officers of her address - it was 2 miles away from where her house was sitting.
The tidal surge that hit McClellanville was estimated to be 28 feet. It literally wiped the town off the face of the earth.
It's been rebuilt over the years and has a whopping 1,000 people living there now. If you know where to look, you can still find houses, cars and boats all over the place miles away from where they once were.
I really hate it for those folks. It's just awful...and it's going to get a whole hell of a lot worse before it ever starts to get any better.

lol We took a nap. Afterwards I restarted the generator. Neighbor came over to tell me the power was back on. Wouldn't have figured it out until the streetlights came on.
Florida got hammered. A friend of a friend's house is in Ft. Myers. They were ankle deep in water on the SECOND floor.
I've been following it. Looks like mine was spared (Naples zone C) from what I can tell by news and reddit, but it's going to be a long clean up
Naples got hit pretty good. Not nearly as hard as Ft. Myers, but still...half of it is underwater.

Oh I know. Most of it is in the south (old Naples) and west/coastal part of the city. Looking through some postings elsewhere I noted flooding is around the airport and the coastal areas west of US41.
The Naples sub-reddit has allowed me to plot clear and flooded areas - it was really helpful.

Nah. It's hell and gone from us. We'll get some light breezes and that's it. I was actually hoping for a bit of rain from it as we could use it, but the recent forecast has us getting none at all.
My rich friends down on John's Island, SC we visit each year though are going to get it. They've already got out the generators and battened down the hatches so to speak.
