Hurricane Advice?

[YShahar]

Well this would be a horrible scenario...I really never thought of the fish actually leaving the pond...My turtle will probably leave also...Ugh! I don't have a net big enough net...Spent the day boarding up my windows (they are hurricane windows but only to 135 .... So scary...we are supposed to get a direct hit)

Any way to build a temporary habitat for the turtle indoors?

Stay safe!

Hunker down & stay safe! My BIL & his wife who live just south of Sarasota, in Nokomis, have put sandbags in place, boarded up their house & are staying with friends well inland. We're supposed to be vacationing down in your area (AMI) week after next. Hope there's an island to come down to.

I'm west of Tampa in PInellas County and all is generally Ok here. Many in my county / area are without power and have trees down. I feel so fortunate, as I've got power, my friends and family are all ok, and the fish are fine in the pond. I have a few minor branches down and some small tree damage, with continuing high, gale force winds, but that's nothing in the scheme of things.
The counties south (west coast of Florida) and east (central Florida) of us experienced heavy wind damage and severe flooding which hasn't receded yet, and the storm is continuing up the east coast of Florida and South Carolina.

Glad to hear you're OK! I hope the other folks in Florida will be able to check in soon to let us know they made it through. From what I see on the news, this was one humongous storm!

North Lakeland checking in. We came away fine, a little yard pickup but otherwise ok. Had to replant a couple things in the bog garden that got pushed around.

Great to hear!

I heard from @rubyduby who is safe, though without power or internet. Her pond and fish are ok , pending removal of debris in the pond. I'll let her fill you in more as she gets back to normal.

Thank you for the update, I've been worried since we hadn't heard anything.

Yes thank you @SarahT I too have been hoping and praying @rubyduby was not harmed by the storm. I hope we see her soon. Good to hear her fish and hopefully her little turtle made it through fine too.

Yup, the turtle came through it, too!
