What follows is a case when a hurricane brought very bad things to SW Florida and by odd coincidence some useable wind free of squalls for a narrow section of the SE Coast, for a while. The hurricane was to hit Tampa but instead suddenly veered ENE and slammed into Punta Gorda while strengthening.

We all have our time in the barrel over time, hopefully not this season though. Look at all the houses on stilts in that part of Florida on the barrier island. Lots more than on the SE coast mainland. Must have had some strong motivation in the past.
