Really hate those hard learned lessons. Hoping I'm spared one this year

Every time my phone dings this morning I am expecting bad news... No bad news yet. Hoping for the best.

We’re in the thick of it. The eye wall is just a hair away and likely coming this way. Lots of rain. Power is out but we got AC and internet via the generator so we’re good.

Power went out here in Homosassa (I am on Mason Creek) last night about 9:00 and thankfully came back on this morning. Just sucks as it takes everything out with it including any cell coverage so we literally go dark to the world. As some of you have guessed the water came up quick this morning, so much so that I'm now stuck here as I am not risking the drive out on the only road there is to take, as it is literally only feet away from the river in some spots and not even sure my truck (which is lifted) is going to make it. We are on stilts in the house so fine in that regard, but have a guest space downstairs that the water will likely get in to again. It is a few feet above the ground and we have at least a foot of water under the house. Hopefully I will be able to get out of here tomorrow and will come back to clean everything up this weekend. Just annoying as I redid all the floors in the guest space last year after Idalia flooded them. I am just praying the power stays on, but will certainly survive even if it doesn't just like all the other times. I am a glutton for punishment I guess, but can only do so much to secure everything in separate houses that are hours apart for myself and family as I can, and always end up riding it out somewhere.
Edit: I hope Art (ANumber1) did not stay at his house on Ozello. I know his wife has health issues and he would get stuck like me for sure as that road in and out is even worse.

Stay safe brother. I think the next high tide will be the worst. Water still up here.

Is your land prone to flooding? I would imagine your lakes are going to be full in a couple of days. Best of luck to you and your family.

My boat on the lift down south damn near floated away! Had it all the way up and the water still started to push it. Luckily have lots of good neighbors there keeping an eye on it while I deal with things up here.

They won’t flood under any realistic circumstance. Parts of my farm are low and are already under more water than I’ve ever seen them be in. The grade leading in and out of the woods in either direction is likely to be under deep, flowing water and will not be crossable in a low car for many days. Once the storm is past we as a family are going to go sight seeing on the UTV and check out the roads. The rain gauge has been overflowing at 5 inches for some time.

Here is looking up my driveway towards the road and then turning around looking at my house with the creek behind it. The only dry land left around here is on top of the septic tank, so my dog is going to have to go shit on the shit holder.

Hope y’all come out ok. We lost power about 3:30 this morning, I went to work for a couple hours around 9:30. Came home at noon to play generator games. Trying to salvage two refrigerators and a chest freezer. Generator will not run our big newer fridge/freezer for some reason, something with the electronics in it I think. Piled everything in the chest freezer and several coolers. So far so good, we don’t got it bad like some.
