New: Emergency management leaders say a fund has been launched to help the victims of the storm get housing and resources.
Anyone who wants to help can contact First United Bank in Gainesville, TX and ask to contribute to the storm relief fund.
Their number: (940) 665-3484
Rumor: Pine Island and Sanibel/Captiva might go mandatory evacuation because the infrastructure can’t safely support residents. No vehicle access, no water, power, gas… also many police, fire and EMS live off island.
Why did an intensely powerful tornado like Andover have so few injuries and no deaths? Maybe because this guy was live streaming to thousands and screamed to alert the NWS. Minutes save lives!

I’m proud to be your friend. Keep doing great things!

Pine Island is definitely getting weird. It’s time to leave. Be careful if you come on the island. I recommend only coming during the day and getting off the island by 6PM. Neighbor down the street the battery was stolen out of his F450. Wood is getting stolen.
St. James City FL on Pine Island received the full brunt of Ian. Cat 5+ gusts from E-S-W and 15 foot storm surge with 10 to 15 foot rollers 🌊where there’s normally 2 ft of water! Literally beyond unbelievable. I hearby retire from my hurricane chasing career. Can’t top today.
So I’m stuck on Pine Island for a while and not able to work and make money. People have been asking me about a service to check on their homes take pictures etc. so I am offering that here. If you’re interested please send me a direct message thanks!

I woke at 745AM and saw Weather Channel had 155mph. My Mom was in the kitchen talking to
@ReedTimmerAccu
and I said Mom we gotta go. She said no. I said Mom you’ve got 15 min we gotta go. We left at 830AM. Luckily no downed trees blocked us getting off Pine Island.
Ridiculously happy to be home. A normal 5 hour trip took 11 hours. Boat ride evac, pick up evacuees in Ft Myers, get rerouted 4 times bc of flooding, droop off evacuees…

Sitting on porch. Beautiful until I remember the generators hum and non-stop beeping alarms are because of Ian’s massive devastation. Already hate that name. All I see is blinking police lights on Sanabel. Otherwise the island is dark. This one too. Hummmm beep beep beep beep
10:15AM status. search and rescue. I’m getting many DM‘s people asking to check addresses for family. I will ASAP. Macadamia road is blocked so can’tdrive. consistent phone signal at house so trying to relay communications.

Mr. Jones of Hermleigh TX was very gracious to let me interview him and video the tornado damage to his home. He and his wife and his dogs are all OK. You can hear their story here.

was back at my Mom’s house in Saint James City on Pine Island about 1130AM and this was the next half hour. Note the home faces about due South. The storm started ENE and ended NW. Over 180° of punishment!
Friday AM Saint James City: almost thought I was back in paradise. crisp Fall night brought restful sleep. yesterday was all good news here. 1) lost severely injured elderly woman was treated by Dr 2) every courtesy check was positive 3) no bad news 4) no demolished homes
Looking for a Lee, Collier or Charlotte county based Home Remediation company to help with water damage at my parents home in St. James City. Please send me a direct message thank you. Please retweet
@ReedTimmerAccu
Saint James City the water is on until 5PM today. Boil water notice! do not drink it! Free drinking water is at 9550 Stringfellow Rd. bring your own container and take as much as you want! They are going to try to turn the water on every day if they have enough diesel
If you’re donating money for Rolling Fork MS please make sure it is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit that is held accountable for showing where the money is really going.
