JUST IN: Apartment complex in west Orange County evacuated after a 30ft x 60ft sinkhole opens nearby, per @HolfeldNews6. #Irma

Orlando - One building was completely evacuated late Sunday night at an Orlando apartment complex when a sinkhole opened up.

Officials from Orange County Fire Rescue said the sinkhole at 746 Sherwood Terrace Drive was 30 feet wide.

Thirty people were evacuated from one building at The Landmark at West Place Apartments and a second building was partially evacuated. Those people were taken to a clubhouse at the apartment complex and will remain there until weather conditions are safe enough for them to be transported to a shelter.

My brother and I were discussing the effect this hurricane would have on the sinkholes.
I guess that answers that...

Wondering about Key West, (heard Snappers on Key Largo is no more), and how are homes fairing near the beach, in Naples, (a couple blocks from gulf), any word on Naple's Pier, and how are Tampa Hospitals holding up. Thanks for any input. I appreciate it. Stay safe Fla. Keeping ya'll close in thought.

Awwww! Adorable! :) It says "Beaumont, Texas" on the video, though, so that would've been hurricane Harvey, not Irma.

EDIT: I was commenting on the Dog Rescue video... I don't know how the tree one ended up attached here?

You're right - "Snappers" is completely demolished.

There was a report yesterday that the Dolphin Tiki Bar on Marco Island had collapsed.

With a massive hurricane in Florida - only 18 users browsing this thread. Hard to believe - IMO.

Once again, please be safe Floridians. My prayers and thoughts go out to you.

I'd think part of it is because so many in FL are w/o power and a lot of the damage is unknown (and still happening) at this point. My sister and family lost their power around 6pm in Deltona (Volusia Co). With the winds I'm sure they're staying inside and hopefully sleeping. Other than on here I'm getting very little info about what's going on down there (again no tv). Just started getting the first outer bands here in WNC - gentle but lived in FL so long that it's easy to recognize the smell, sound and feel... Dreading what daylight will show and hoping the damage isn't as bad as I'm afraid it will be... Stay safe everyone.

did not take my lunesta afraid to

And possibly wider spread. That seriously sucks.
Fire in Daytona??
Hang in there love and give that pup lots of hugs. ((hugs))

Edited to add just found this on the Daytona News Journal (apparently doing rescue operation too) "

 
There are hours of gusts still to come if you look at how big the 3 in the afternoon to 9 in the evening is although dry there is a lot of circular motion that still has to come up from below Orlando

in a way its like a small earthquake rumbling sound that starts first lasts for about 5 seconds then you hear the wind swish and feel like vibration .

Duration on the wind swoosh varies but when they go on for a long peroid of time they build up - like a crescendo
 
Thanks.

Thanks so much, Elley Mae, for posting this. Interesting stories.

The home being burglarized was caught by the homeowners on their surveillance system. They notified the police who caught the burglars at 3 a.m.

Glad the couple on the boat were rescued. But I want to say, 'Why in the heck were you out there in the first place?'

The 'Cuban Coffee' speaks for itself. Whatever it takes to keep the men/women in blue, alert and ready for what comes their way.

America's top chefs story has a special flair too.

Thanks again! It's so nice to read about the good that police or others are trying to accomplish, especially in the face of such calamity...

new videos emerging -- its bad , very Charlie like -- tons of foilage all over the place

after Charlie they had to set up special giant wood chipper centers --over all the whole mess chipper stuff took half a year to get through it all

and that was horrid for the power truck parades cause the streets had to get the stuff off the actual road first .

there were piles of trees that was like 4-5 feet high on the sides of roads all over neighborhood block after block after block
