Yes, I flew all four batteries yesterday! Somehow, I need to make more time for me but my little one has activities on both Saturday and Sunday which makes it tough!

So sad to see what is coming to Sarasota and Siesta Key tonight. The place was a second home to me for more than 40 years and after seeing what happened to Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian in 2022, I know it will never be the same.
Here are a few photos taken from 2004-2022
.
Taken over Siesta Key beach two years ago. Looking east. I've stayed in several units in various complexes visible in the photo. I can't imagine those single story white units will survive.
Looking south. That parking lot (Siesta Key public beach) and Beach road was completely flooded after Hurricane Helene two weeks ago.
Most parts of Siesta Key are low rise and will be significantly impacted by wind and storm surge
Siesta Key village. So many great restaurants and bars here. Downtown Sarasota is in the upper right of the frame.
This little row dwelling is representative of some of the older places that are right on the beach. No match for storm surge.
Some of the high rises might fare a little better structurally but the pools and ground floor units will likely be obliterated.
Downtown Sarasota as viewed across Sarasota Bay about 20 years ago
Sunsets on the Siesta Key beach are legendary
Bye Bye Siesta Key ;(
