- Well, our vacation plans were cut short by the need to prep for Hurricane Ian. Since we live in the Tampa area, early in the week we thought Hurricane Ian was headed straight for us. But as the day arrived, Hurricane Ian made landfall further south. We were mostly spared here in Tampa, aside from so heavy winds and hurricane-force wind gusts. However, my parents' back in my hometown of Arcadia had a much worse time. I share our experience prepping for and riding out Hurricane Ian.

Mother Nature can be scary! I’m glad that everyone is safe, but I feel so bad for your parents! I hope they get their power back, and that you’ll be able to get to them soon!
She can be downright terrifying! They finally got power back yesterday!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am watching this with our new rescue dog Oliver! 72 pounds of love, bet you didn't see that coming, that I would have a new dog 3 weeks after coming home :) So glad you guys are ok, really seems like a miracle how it all went down for you. It was so tough to watch what was happening for your parents, though. So so scary, but very glad that they are ok!
Oliver!!! Welcome to the fam!!! I need to see pictures! So glad they're okay - it was tough knowing what they were going through and just hoping everything would be okay.
Glad to hear you are all ok. I hope your parents can leave soon and stay by you until things get sorted out where they live.😊
Thank you! We really dodged a bullet here in Tampa. So lucky!
I feel the stress eating to my core. Glad you all ended up ok ❤️
Definitely necessary in a time like that!!
I’m so glad you and your family & friends are all ok but man that sucks😢 I hope your parents get their power back soon. I can’t believe your neighbours roof held on I was like ohhh no when you showed it. Send your parents all the CZcams love we are thinking of them.
You know all too well what it's like right now! I know you can empathize far too well. I truly thought that shed was going to lose its roof so early on! Can't believe it made it!!
So BEHIND due to my holiday (how rude of me :P) - time to catch up!
Seeing the pictures of arcadia is crazy...it looks apocolyptic. Glad you are all safe.
I can't wait to see your trip vlogsssss! It was definitely a wild time for Arcadia. I'm afraid to go visit when I finally ever make it back home!
I’m glad you and your family are all safe. Seeing the damage on news is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to Florida 🧡
Thank you! It's truly terrible. So many areas just devastated. Mother Nature is powerful!
Sweet pups. Glad the family is safe.
They are the sweetest boys. So glad they weren't bothered too much by the storm. And thank goodness!
Glad to hear everyone is OK and yes you are right, things can be fixed. Hope your folks have gotten their power back (or are getting it back soon). Hoping the roads will be passable as well soon.
Still no power for my parents yet! They're looking at a return date of October 9th, according to the power company. At least the weather has been nice!
Glad y'all and the pups are ok hope parents are ok same with Brittany and her fam had little rain mostly wind here in Jacksonville prayers and thoughts for all those affected
Thanks David! Thank goodness everyone's okay. And glad Jacksonville didn't see too much from it either!
Omg Ian was terrible, I am in SW Florida, my family lives in cape coral, I work with my mom on Saturdays on Sanibel and the causeway was breached in 5 places. We will need to replace our roof thankfully that is it all and we have no leaks. I feel like it was sitting on us for 10 hours. We have a patio like yours and I was watching out our window (because we don't have shutters, we will be getting them soon) and I prayed it didn't get ripped off because the wind was coming in from the back of our house it was terrifying
I was having PTSD from Irma, we were with out electric for close to a month, thankfully we got electric back Sunday.
Oh my goodness, yes! The Sanibel causeway is insane. So, so sad for Sanibel and all the other areas on the coast. It really did just park there and slam the coast for hours and hours. After going through Hurricane Charley, storm shutters were a must for us. Our Tampa house came with them, but I would have insisting on getting them installed otherwise. It just gives so much more peace of mind. So glad you’re okay and only suffered minimal damage! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
My parents got water back, but still no power!
That's the worst part, no water being on a well, no power no water... I took cold bucket baths every night. Everyone would tell me ohh just to take a cold shower after Irma... They didn't understand the well needs power to run. Glad everyone is safe! I was definitely thinking of your parents ♥️
Glad you and your family are okay. I live in Fort Myers and Ian was so slow it was 24 hours of pure stress. I hope things are getting more normal for your family in Acardia as they are around here. I made my dog a sod pool for peeing during Irma and did not want to pee in it. I just had him pee in the bathtub this time around, my dog is only 10 pounds though.
Oh man, I'm so sorry for everyone in Fort Myers! It looked absolutely brutal there, and Fort Myers Beach looks like it was a warzone now. It's so terrible! Hope you're doing okay and didn't suffer damage at your house!
I knew you guys were okay because we had talked about it in the comments on an earlier video but it was still really stressful watching this. Part of me wonders if Colby’s issue with going outside when it’s wet stems from Harvey because I know you found him right around Harvey but I can’t remember how much he was outside for that. Still glad everything was okay but wow that flooding for Arcadia was insane.
It was a wild week, for sure. We found Colby about two weeks before Harvey, but I wonder if the Texas storms and crazy rain we used to get made him afraid of rain in general. It's very likely! The storms there were something else. We get wild lightning here, but not anything like the rain in Houston.
I am SO bummed. My wife's birthday was last week & we had a trip booked to Universal for Halloween Horror Nights (it would have been our 1st time going) & had to cancel because of the hurricane; the two days we were going to be at HHN were the two days the park was closed...
Daaaang. The worst timing! Will you be able to reschedule?
Not many are prepared for the worse of natures abuse.
There are various models of "solar Generators", a company called BLUETTI makes a few. This model is very similar to mine.
BLUETTI AC200P Portable Power Station, 2000Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 6 2000W AC Outlets (4800W Peak), Solar Generator for Outdoor Camping, RV Travel, Home Use (Solar Panels Optional)
when the lights go out, this will feed your lights and / or keep the frig running
It can be charged with solar panels, other than running fans for temperature control, it can help keep some normalcy in your life during a storm intervention like this.
I am not advertising this unit, I only own one which in non storm times I use to keep the computers power failure free.
There are other brands that can do the job for you...................
Just a thought as you like to flirt with hurricanes.
😢
So tough! Love Florida, but hurricanes are no fun!
