Helene and now Milton

[encapman]

Helene ravaged the beaches, and parts of St Petersburg 2 weeks ago. And now Milton came back for another strike to our part of Florida.

Our area incurred quite a bit of damage from Milton. But all of our staff are safe. Our warehouse is OK too, with only some minor water intrusion. And as soon as power gets restored we will reopen. Now it's just gonna be a lot of cleanup and trying to help friends and neighbors sort through the aftermath.

Thanks to everyone who reached out to check on us!


Not a happy photo of my hometown!

It could've been a lot worse! Milton was a strong Cat-5 in the Gulf, but it scaled down to Cat-3 as it made landfall. And because it made landfall south of Tampa Bay we had a reversed surge, so flooding was only from heavy rainfall / rather than surge. The surge was catastrophic with Helene. With Milton damage was mostly from wind and some flooding from rainfall. We're very grateful our staff is all safe, our warehouse is OK, and that we were able to reopen today.

Got any shareable news on Hruby/Orbot?

Mikey, I've put the Orbot info into it's own thread.
