Time stamped to show the gas station under water.

Re: Devastating flood damage in Arcadia, Florida
Too bad Arcadia wasn't wiped off the map. This is the town that harmed me in every way imaginable. I have been here for 15 years talking about Arcadia, FL. Unfortunately, the only real damage was to homes near the river. I've watched several videos that show no damage east of the river. Please do not ever come back, Arcadia. Just call it a day.

No warning that the water was moving in so quickly. She was in her car trying to drive away.

Re: Devastating flood damage in Arcadia, Florida
Wow I never expected to see this here! I live on 17 between Punta gorda and Arcadia on the river. Water is highest I've ever seen it and expected to keep rising for another day or so. I'll tell you hurricane Ian rocked our reality. So so much devastation and it keeps on coming. Eating home canned food heated up by sterno cans tho. Did pretty decent there in the preps. Just since I'm way out in the country no power for weeks. Work still expects us to come in but not having gas is threatening that. Not much left to deliver mail to now anyway. Here's a bill for your mortgage of the house you no longer have kinda doesn't seem right. Glad to get folks their much needed medications tho.

Trying to cope. Just so so overwhelmed. No generator. No gas. No bank no cash. Everything has to be bought in cash. No ATMs and my local bank was destroyed. Just glad I'm alive. My family is alive. That's all that matters. So sad for those who aren't.

I think I may have seen your posts here.

Arcadia is/was the Devils playground to me. I grew up in SWFL but have been to Arcadia many times. Its no place for a little girl to go to. I saw some things there.

The place we may have in common is now abandoned.

God was trying to wash away this town IMHO.

They are low level shills forced to work the weekend night shift, attempting to instantly derail and one star every thread to poison the well. Imagine how difficult it is to be a shitty shill while reading a site that debunks everything their masters tell them. They aren't getting a pass to the underground cities, but they are too stupid to acknowledge the obvious. How sad and pathetic that must be, especially when they have to submit all of the follow up comments to their posts for their paychecks.

Re: Devastating flood damage in Arcadia, Florida
Even though this is a 500 year event (the degree of flooding), this is why Florida has all of the water and wetlands that it has. That beautiful, natural, environment has been formed from hurricanes, storm surges, tropical storms and massive amounts of rain for who knows how long (1000s of years?). While people are suffering from this catastrophe, the natural environment is severely damaged for probably centuries because of all of the man made debris blown and shattered all over hell and gone. No way to clean that up. Glass, aluminum, steel, plastic, toxic fluids and materials, etc, in massive amounts, is piled up everywhere you look. It's terrible. Most of Florida should not even be developed. It's such a unique ecosystem and not all that big compared to the rest of country and people are moving there in droves because it's a free state with a red pilled governor. I can totally relate to that but the state is grossly over developed and it's terribly sad to see not just the lives, homes and towns destroyed but that natural environment which is home to so many unique species of animals and plants.

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

I honestly feel so sorry for these people. Zero Ziltch of them deserve this. Mother nature is nothing to fight with. Those RV's could of been towed out of the area. People who have boats could of secured them better. 3 or 4 anchor points and enough weight would have not let them drift from their anchorage.

But it is people who have homes and flooded out who suffered the most. Never mind the toys.

Home is where you go when you have a bad day. Home is where you seek comfort. The home is now flooded and is nothing more than a headache and potential loss of everything you cherrish.

Forest fires.

I am north of the NJ Pinelands. People build houses in the woods and love the privacy and the sandy trails, and creeks to go canoeing. Then that once in 50 years fire starts blazing, after a lightning strike on dry pine needles, and its all over.

It would be bad if one of the really tall trees came down toward my house, but it's more likely than a forest fire.

"Flooding" here only happens in places that never should have been built in.

Just like in Florida.

My favorite near here is a place once named "Impassable Morass" on the map, because of the wide and floody swamp.

Today it is humorously named "Highland".

Re: Devastating flood damage in Arcadia, Florida
I've lived in hurricane country for half a century..both NC and Fla. I picked my current home near Deland (between Orl and Daytona) because it's stood through every storm since 1890. Lost power for 2 days..up yesterday morning. Still no internet but have cell service..otherwise...

The house is fine, no flooding, no wind damage outside of some tree limbs and palm fronds. Something to be said about old homes..built much better than the cheap, poorly planned homes of today. Feel blessed and praying for all those who lost so much...

Even just 2 days without power was stressful though we did have a generator.
