Windy in the Estates. Power is going on and off. Lots of power surges and blips.

Not planning to kite surf anytime soon either JYD.

tysm etc and mothernature - my brother lives in Collier County - and I cant seem to be able to contact him! I will keep updated using the links!

Feel free to send the RAIN to SC - not the wind!

Stay safe!

Well I have been without power since 12:00am, so this is not so fun. It is real windy & a lot of rain. Can't see the houses across the street.

Stay Safe everyone!!

cable tv is out, lots of wind and rain still got juice though. Aqualane Shores

mdis,
Depending on where he is in collier, could have power out so phones could possibly be down...nothing really bad happening. some flooding on south end of Marco Island. Wind is pretty bad, but some thunderstorms are worse down here....No reports of bad accidents or fires or anything for you to worry about...Cell phones towers could be affected. happens a lot in florida, especially during thunderstorms. We want to keep some of the rain, just don't want the storm surge. sorry we can't send it your way right now...I know your brother will be fine...

ty mothernature - I think he may be without power after reading about the wind and power blips in the Estates - thanks for the heads up about the cell towers - never thought about that!

I am sure I will catch up with him later today - or he will call me ASAP - he knows I am a worry wart!

Thanks for the reassurance!

Continue being safe!

Good Morning from St Andrews Blvd.. Lots of wind, of course, One big boom around 5 am .. still have cable.. amazing! And Electric so far!

Anyone still think nighttime curfew was useless?????

No power or cable outage by GCHS. Friggin fire alarm was going off for 20 mins though for no apparent reason until the fire dept. came and shut it down.
Will be a great day to take out the jet ski and jump some waves when the rain passes.

any news about Verona Walk..power wise?

Well, we rent a duplex and we now have a 2ft leaking crack in the bedroom ceiling. The comcast cable is out but everything else is OK.

Great radar:

Has anyone heard how Pelican Marsh is doing? I'm guessing it probably is a marsh right about now?? Keep safe folks!

N. Naples here and still have power, amazing! Blinked twice but stayed on. Big wind gusts and alot of rain but other than that just a big storm. I called in tardy until it calms down, what the heck! Y'all stay safe!

What's happening in Bonita Springs? Any power outages?

West Terry Street, Bonita Springs, we have power, cable.

Stay safe naplestrek....

Hey-I'm up in N.Y and was to come back home Sunday but seen that there was a storm coming. Hoping to leave in the morning! But does anyone know how the Golden Gate area is doing? I have a house on Westport Lane off Santa Barbara.

Having some strong winds and rain right now in Estero, but still have power and all the trees are still standing. Dog won't go out though :)

Thank goodness that there has not been any serious damage. I have to comment on the news team on channel 7. I felt your comments last night were very inappropriate, yes, there is a joy that we were "spared" but to say that Lee & Charlotte were spared and screams of joy in the background to be heard by your viewing area (we live in North Naples) really bothered me. Everyone matters when disaster is coming toward us, and if we are "spared" we should be prepared to help others in need!

Does Golden Gate still have power? And how are the winds there?

Where are the guys that opens the water drainage??

OPEN THE GATES to drain off the water!!! We have tons of standing water in the estates... and still more rain coming in. I will need a boat to get to the road.

Just heard Naples City Manager Bill Moss demands Naples employees be at their desks by 10:00 a.m. this morning -- or use a vacation day for being absent (WHAT????) So -- what happens to the employees living east of Airport Road (closed) trying to get to City Hall - wait at the edge of Airport Road for the water to subside?...

I'm in GG city we have power but no cable. Winds are steady not too bad, just walked the dog and it wasn't too bad some trees down is all. Doesn't seem too flooded around me, I'm on the GG Middle side.

Just spoken to my brother in Golden Gate Estates, they have cable down and strong winds. It rains horizontally. No damage so far, thank god.

North Naples near Airport & Orange Blossom, lots of rain & wind, no power outages, did have a blip, but it didn't go completely off. We still have cable & internet. Was on my cell earlier with a local radio station and that worked too. We got lucky on this one folks!

There are numerous cable/internet and phone outages all over collier county. the crews will be on scene after weather subdues. A lot of it is caused by commercial power.

In near Bonita Beach and we're gettin some nice wind. Powers still on, the pool's full, but nothin serious up here as of yet. Hub just drove to the beach to take some pics.

Ok, he went to the beach and was only able to take one pic because I forgot to put the memory card back in the camera:) He says it isn't that bad at the beach at all.

I'm about 2 miles off Marco Island, power came back on at 6 am, it was off most of the night. We lost a tree in the front yard, I havent gone out to look for more yet. wind is dying down a bit now.
the water in the lake is really high, but I dont think the road is flooded. It was a rocky road last night here.

Another great site is...... wunderground.com....
you can actually put your home address (or anyones )and see what is the situation right over there home......my daughter does not have a powere so I went on line and actually told her the eye was actually passing right over her house (2600 hundred block of 28th Ave SE)(off Everglades Blvd) !!

perhaps the roads would not be under water if the county fired one $120,000 administrator bureaucrat and hired 4 $30,000 road maintenace workers to keep inlets, swales and ditches clear of debris that blocks drainage

I'm off Desoto Blvd in GG estate. I only had power flickers from 5am-9am. The only damage I can see so far is a 20 foot pine (it was old looked like it was about to die anyway) fell right across my driveway but other than that a few limbs down and lots of standing water.

CURFEW THAT STARTED AT 11:00 P.M. last night, before the storm.

ricky369.........

I think we are inteligent beings and no one should have to tell you to get off the streets before a storm. We are all in need of a great deal of goods BEFORE THE STORM. When property is left vulnerable after a storm is one thing, but even then I find being locked out of your own property before or after a storm unacceptable. This storm wasn't going to be here until 5:00 A.M. This decision was insane.

Remember Wilma when after the storm you couldn't get back into downtown with gas for your chainsaw or generator? And no gas available downtown.

No one should have made that decision for us when the storm had not even arrived.

Called my son on Marco----no power,phone, etc. a Comcast subscriber. I live 3rd Ave SW. No problems, just standing water. About 6-8 inches everywhere. Don't know about cable. Don't pay for it.

Hard to believe but the NDN and their deilvery people were respsonsbile for a large portion of the flooding in our neighborhood.

I'm not sure of the decision making process but the delivery people delivered papers which were either immediately rendered unreadable due to the volume of rain (if you could find your paper) or instant drain plugs for our street drains.

I personally cleaned all the drains in my neghborhood at the height of the storm because the two drains nearest my house were blocked with 3 - 4 bagged newspapers, casuing about a foot of flooding...when I saw that, I headed out to see what other drains were blocked...sure enough, 90% of the drains were blocked with NDN Newspapers at the bottom of the piles.

Deliverying newspapers in that wind and rain was not very smart for either the delivery people or the customers...just wait and deliver it later this afternoon or tomorrow rather than put your people at so much risk and contributing to the flooding.

This one was a yawner...i live off Collier just south of Immokalee. The eye when right up Collier i heard, that would explain why the wind woke me up at 5am...No damage here except for a couple of trees down and some road flooding due to clogged sewers. Other than that, everything is good-we have power, cable and internet (obviously).

Frogs are happy; birds are singing and no trees down; still have power.....very happy:)

If your COMCAST TV is still out, then you need to call them to get a signal.

My TV was out until a few minutes ago... black screen. The 3rd time I called them, the tech had me unplug the box and pull the cord on the cable IN... wait 45 seconds and then plug back in. Then the Comcast tech sends a signal and I had to wait several minutes for it to run a cycle.

After the cycle ran... the correct time was showing on the box but not the little circle that is suppose to be on showing the box is on too. So he had me press the power button on the box and the TV started working. I guess Comcast has some bugs if a service call is required to get service running again after a power outage! And how come the first two techs I spoke to did not have me do the signal thing??

Power was out in North GG Estates (except for developments such as Waterways,etc) for about 6 hours. Cable and high speed still out but phone lines work. Minor damage here.

Re:#49 Glad to see hear that the Naples Daily News finally ended up where it belongs!

I hear that the WalMart at the corner of US41 and Immokalee has been without power all day; they can't process any transactions. They have been sending their employees to the Super WalMart on Immokalee Road near I75 (Juliet Blvd), or just sending them home. So if anyone was thinking of going out and picking up a few items, you know which WalMart to avoid.

I am in Columbia, SC but my parents are in Golden Gate near SJN high school.

No power, no cable, one tree is down (Large sea hibiscus that fell after Charley and Wilma, but can't save it this time).

This morning Tropicana Blvd had over a ft of water or more in some areas. Probably worse near 32nd Ave. I remember that area being prone to flooding back when Andrew came through.

The main road to that part of GG near SJN, 53rd St , was blocked by cops this morning.. I think that was just as a precaution to prevent unnecessary traffic.

When my brother went out to Burger King (off GG Parkway) for lunch he said that things were clearing up.

Also, my parents told me that their friends near Everglades City, in Chokoloskee are doing fine.

Good luck to all, and stay safe.

What happened near Fifth Ave? We have a condo on East Lake Dr???? Thanks for your comments!!

Stay safe, NAPLES!!!

Imperial Golf was fine few trees no power loss
I went to Bonita beach this morning surfers and
swimmers in the waves..NUTZ
stay safe

Anyone checking the continuing updates from the National Hurricane Center on Fay...the storm is getting better organized AND the pressure is dropping over land!

One of the spaghetti track models yesterday showed her going back out into open water (the Atlantic) and looping back toward the Gulf on a westerly track. Seems this model had some good data in and Fay is following along! I just hope when it gets to the Atlantic that it stays out there!

BTV - You saw that too, huh? Wasn't there a storm some years ago that did just that? We've been in FL since '89 (went through Andrew '92 in Homestead). I can't remember the details, but I'm sure I remember seeing or hearing about a storm that hit land, turned around, and hit it again on the same coast - or something like that.

knight1432:
I think it was IVAN (2004)

Hmmmm, windy, rainy, electricity went out some places. Sounds like a typical summer day for Florida and FPL.

We lost power here on this part of Bonita Beach 7 AM to 7 PM. Everything else worked just fine (including Comcast - surprise, surprise!) We had the generator running so all was good. Luckily, no corn or beans in the fridge here were harmed.

They claim 20k in Collier & 15k in Lee are still w/o power.

I live in Naples Manor off of Georgia Ave and lost power at 5am and left to Golden Gate estates @ 2pm where no power was lost.
I haven't been back home....does anyone know if the power came back on so I can go home?
