vvesto is safe
vvesto contacted me. He and family are safe, with only a little damage to their home. They were not in the evacuation zone. They are on higher ground and did not have flooding. Some horizontal rain was blown under the door. He has mobile phone access but no Internet access. Several mobile carriers in the area are out of service, due to antennas being blown down.
The flooding in the rest of the Ft. Meyers/Cape Coral area was fortunately not as bad as predicted.
Other friends north of Miami are fine. They had some fence and roof damage, but not a lot.
The Homestead area, home to many nurseries, had sustained winds in the 50-70 miles per hour range (80-115km/h.) I have not heard from people there.
