The Don Cesar pools got flooded out by the rising seawater. Beach sand all the way past the outdoor bar.
Hurricane Helene - she's going to be one expensive bitch

We’re lucky we didn’t arrive few days earlier. Guess we’re going to head to Vegas now. Wife wants to leave Sunday and come back next Sunday. I told her 3/4 days is all I can do or the Wynn might own our house. Lol.
A lot of talk around here that Augusta was really hit, with no access to gas, just one Publix open, people needing help getting out from under house and property damage. The course might not have suffered that much but who can know for sure. Not exactly the most forthcoming group. Augusta National did put out a plea on Nextdoor for help for the area.
Yea, I wouldn’t be surprised if they screw me. So far i couldn’t check in Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Don’t know about Monday. I think no sewage right now.
Nick is a huge liar, and you've been duped yet again.
I just googled Chimney Rock, hit the "News" tab, and saw page after page after page of stories about the devastation.
That bottom right picture is I-40. That’s a major route between Knoxville and Asheville. Driven it a number of times. Can’t comprehend that a part of a major interstate is just GONE. And it won’t be easy or quick to repair. The scope of this is just too large.
Gas stations here, about 80 miles west of Augusta, are running out of gas as people from Augusta who can get out are driving this far west to get gas, water and food.
Someone just posted a picture of the local Publix bread aisle. All the shelves are bare.
And now, in Conyers, further west, closer to Atlanta, there’s a major chemical fire which has closed down I-20.
Standard practice. You just throw out a complaint about the Dems and the media, and all the sheep just nod and agree, even if it's obviously nonsense.
I wonder why a plant with reactive chemicals would have water fire suppression sprinklers? That seems like it should be a clear code violation.
We visited there 2 summes ago. I can't believe it's no longer there - I was a neat place. Touristy, but a good vibe.
I'm not sure about the voting there. Lots of artsy fartsy people in that part of the state, particularly around Ashville. Still, rural NC is mostly Republican.
Saw some post Helene pics of the Don Cesar today.
Yikes. 😳
I saw a drone video today. I don’t see how they can get back open this week.
We’re fortunate we weren’t there.
Stunning pics. Especially the top right. I mean damn the trucks are right there.
It wasn't fair at the time, but I remember all the shit Bush got for Katrina. The government's response so far has been as quick as it was then. Turnabout being fair play, Biden/Harris are failing those people in a similar fashion and are worthy of criticism.
Natural disasters like this should remind us how unimportant Presidents really are in situations such as this compared to family and neighbors along with state and local agencies.
Will there be any Property and Casualty Insurance Companies left in Florida after this hurricane?
60 Minutes did a report last night about property insurance companies ripping off policy holders following a hurricane.
Bottom line, unless you take your case to court you will receive a small fraction of the coverage you paid premiums for. Hardly anyone does this.
They need to mobilize the Army into Asheville, North Carolina and take away some of the Billions we are throwing away in
Ukraine and help our own people! Where is President Biden?
Ukraine and help our own people! Where is President Biden?
Probably not, but at least he didn't say a state was gonna get hit by it and then double down when the weather service said that wasn't correct and then show a map with sharpie drawn as part of the pathway of said hurricane.
I have clients that did things the right way their entire lives. A year before Ian they sold their two condos on Ft Myers beach and bought a home a block off the gulf. A couple months before Ian they had it completely remodeled with a great boat dock built for their fishing boat.
Their neighbors told them insurance was a waste. Ian destroyed their home and damaged dock and boat. Late this summer they had everything built back again even better. Helene got them again. They are distraught.
Worked back from near bankruptcy 40 years ago to where they had their dream home in Indiana and in Florida and now this twice. Feel so sorry for them.
Thousands of young lawyers will soon regret law school. You have flood but this was wind
Bit her in the ass too. Biden is voting for trump. He’s always wearing a maga hat now
Governors do have the National Guard troops available to them.
Confident these troops will be called into duty. Also rescue units from cities across the country will participate.
...asked President Biden.
MM66, hate to mention it, but..
When talking about hurricanes, wind, and water some of us with warped minds think about global warming.
I can't imagine. Our finished basement flooded in one 6 inch rain in Central Illinois s few years ago. Even that was stressful and it's not comparable.
We have retired friends near Ft. Myers still trying to rebuild. I will never own in Florida when I retire. I'd rather just rent 6-8 weeks each winter. Rebuilding is stressful and the last thing you want to deal with in your golden years.
I agree!
I will never buy in Florida. It’s always been my plans to have winter retirement home in Florida. With what I’ve watched happen to my client/friends no way I buy on the coast like I planned.
Still hoping I get my money refunded for my St Pete Beach vacation that was supposed to start on Sept 27.
