My friend who has a house down there has had a helluva time getting any updates for the lower keys: Big Pine, Sugarloaf, Cudjoe and on down. I haven't heard much from the media either. I guess once the story became the big cities they forgot about where it came ashore as a CAT 4 and the hundred or so thousand folks who call the Keys home. He thinks they are going to have significant loss of life down there. The only mentions I've seen say they will have to go door to door and do supply and water drops by plane in to Big Pine and islands around it. I don't use much social media but wondered if anyone on here knows anyone down that way and if they are hearing anything or just similar to what's above.
There was a nut on BPK who posted a couple videos on youtube from Sunday morning but nothing since. This is the best I've seen, and was shot in the area, and item #28 does make it sound like the road in, US1, is in tact. I know it's got tons of debris, especially it seems northbound, but sounds like they can get through. Haven't seen anything for when it might be open for residents.
