Re: Post-storm check-in

My friend from Rotonda checked in - 75% of his shingles are gone, his pool cage is standing but no screen, a facia board came loose and wind got under the decking so they had water coming in the ceiling of the master bedroom, and water was coming out of smoke detector, fan, and light fixtures.

Post-storm check-in

All good here in Sarasota. Lots of debris but minimal damage. Folks just south of us got slammed. Haven't heard from friends in Boca Grande, Rotonda, Englewood and Venice yet.

Re: No firearm or ammo sales during FL State of Emergency

You're reading the wrong section of the law. XLVI 870 refers to emergencies declared due to riots or insurrections. XVII 252 is the Florida Emergency Management Act.

Sounds like a good argument for small claims court and a lien.

Re: Video of firearm @ airport arrest

Concealed weapons are not allowed inside the passenger terminal AND the sterile area of any airport in Florida. The only way for this guy to have avoided trouble would have been for him to declare it in a checked bag.

Re: Video of firearm @ airport arrest
