Thanks for the update. Not much going on over here on the east coast of Florida.

[@captdrewcafe]

My electronics read 48 knots this morning. Been a steady 30 last hr.

[@brian1919]

Good luck Tommy. Stay safe.

[@RandomlyAwkward1]

Thanks for the update… I’m doing updates as well but you are a little ahead of us. Best of luck with this mess. Incidentally, you could leave the fenders where they were because they keep the boat from bumping into the coffee table in the living room …

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Funny guy. Lol

[@lonniedufour2925]

Good luck my friends…hope Helene is gentle on you guys. May God Bless and keep you all safe.🙏

[@toddbrauselling]

Shut off the breaker to the power pole until the water recedes

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Just did. Thanks

[@touchdown15nichols72]

I always worry about that too.

[@spscorse]

Good luck stay safe

[@stew8834]

I think you will be fine. Stay safe 👍

[@touchdown15nichols72]

I was thinking the water was getting high because even the lake behind my house is higher than usual. We have a weir that's able to control the water from the canals that come in the lake. Thanks for the update.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

When the rains really start up your lake will rise I’m sure! Be safe!

[@Agua-Sala]

you don't get a break with these storms... be safe

[@drsmsaracino]

Good Luck!

[@captdrewcafe]

Been blowing a steady 30 last hour here in Ft Pierce. Hasn’t rained in 2 hrs though in a bubble. Be safe with the wife and kid 🐶 cheers.

[@markbailey6051]

Anyone else concerned about the electrical cords and the water that he’s walking in 😳?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Power is off. 😂

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs geeze… I hope so. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@jimcooksey4150]

De'ja' Vu all over again.😚 I think Yogi Berrasaid that. Stay safe and try to stay dry.

[@dmc3489]

Godspeed!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

I forget…What was your surge during IAN

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We had 6-7’. Out house had 6” inside and garage was a foot of water.

[@Rottieman-h6d]

Does that predicted title surge of 15 to 20 feet affect your area?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Thankfully no. We are in the 3-5’ zone.

[@Rottieman-h6d]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs stay safe.

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

After Andrew, the lines on boats often settled on the wrong sides of the pilings. I saw boats that were actually lifted above the water on one side because the lines were caught. You want your lines as long as humanly possible. If you can run them to other properties, it will help.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Spring is king!

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs you also want long bow and stern lines if possible.

[@AlbertKalinin-p2i]

Hi C.Tom boy you have experienced a lot hurricanes. Sandy in New York, Ian, Debby and now Helene in Florida. do you think they are following you LOL stay safe thanks for the video

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Hope not but it feels like it!

[@jonathanbradley6819]

Stay Safe

[@Suzi64grad]

My sister moved to Cape Coral from Indiana…..no way would I want to experience the devastation she has the last two hurricanes! Staying here! 😢

[@psmollen2056]

What elevation is your home??

[@Whenindowt]

Hi Captain. I don't see any lines to the seawall. Ian took my neighbors boat with the dock and pilings still attached a quater mile away down our canal. Probably too late to tell you now, but next time.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I need to put a couple cleats in the wall. Good idea.

[@st.georgeguardabassi7286]

Good luck

[@sailorman8590]

Starts to seem like a recurring pattern with Cape Coral surge flooding. Is this normal? This hurricane is hundreds of miles away and is flooding this bad?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Shouldn’t be nearly as bad as before. North Florida is in for a whollop.

[@mr.e7022]

Ah hurricanes, been thru 3 of them. Hurricanes are 23 hours of boredom with 15 minutes of sheer terror. Stay hydrated. And you might want to shut the power off at the dock before those outlets go under salt water.

[@donnashinn2652]

Be safe 🙏

[@timgreen4137]

Might be a good time to secure the power to the power posts. Don't need a fire from a shorted wire

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Just did. Thank you!

[@allanhoppe1521]

Prepare for the worst Hope for the best!!

[@stroguy]

I see our owl is safe. Yeah!

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

He flew away yesterday. Lol

[@stroguy]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Cannot blame her. Crazy storms.

🙏🙏✌️

[@jcsrealtymanagement1818]

Good luck . I would unplug that shore power

[@TheHopetown]

Walking in the water with it plugged in is very Darwin Award

[@DenisBurke-vb6vh]

Nasty out there now at 1711 hours

[@lordniblickiii]

❤ Jesus loves you.. Please bring him into your heart before it's too late.. These events are not from climate change.. but from God warning US the time of his wrath is coming... 😢 Please be saved by His Blood, my friend 🙏

[@ThisIsWhereMyNameGoes]

Hopefully we don't see a video of your boat at the neighbors again 😮. I don't know how anything is insurable in Florida

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I don’t expect it to be that bad.

[@regenbassford]

Them boats are gone by by

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Nope alls well

[@Sureyoudo]

Imagine all the fertilizer run off! This is why Fl is dying!😢

[@dianalamottelamotte4521]

Pray for your safety and be extra grateful Congress voted for FEMA funding after your Republican Congressman voted against it.

[@flordad1]

I feel so bad for those rich people.

[@RobertRencoukas]

You elected to live on the water , you know the risks, Your problem. We who live not on water should not have to pay to help for people that do.

[@hoserfella]

Ok, let's not help anyone living in an area with tornados, earthquakes, snowstorms, landslides as well. Screw 'em. They knew the risks.
