SharkTums Posted September 10, 2017 Author Posted September 10, 2017 Totally fine here in Orlando. We're about 5-10 miles straight line from Disney. As of 4pm we've had 6'' of rain (since Friday), no thunder, no lightning, no wind. Wind is supposed to pick up soon.
BlahBlahson Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Last night was a bit annoying as most everything in town was closed, even though the storm was at minimum 15-18 hours from arrival, with no direct hit. So I'm fine with anything that was open all day yesterday. Today has been very rainy but as of yet no power loss for me at 4:30 PM, I feel terribly for Naples/Ft Meyers and Tampa that are taking direct hits however.
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Getting some decent winds and rain now. Some power flickering. Hopefully once it is light we'll get some updates.
bert425 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 ^ until then, I see y'all have "Mappy" so at least some good fun, until loss of power! hugs, and thoughts to stay safe continuing y'all's way. (I have LOTS of friends in Tampa. .they are all without power at the moment)
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 We still have power! In fact, KT is face timing and playing the Nintendo Switch with the Crouse girls! There are a few mumbling amongst some meteorologists that the Eye may actually come right over us between 1 and 3am. They mentioned our community by name too!
bgtlover Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 The parks in Orlando are definitely getting it now. It's downgraded to Cat 1 with 85mph winds. Moving NNW. I'm in Gainesville about where the pin is. I-75 is right behind where I live.
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 We're good here and even still have power! Yay! Disney lifted it's "room only" curfew for resort guests at 11am and we know there's another update coming soon. There will be a lot of plant/tree and minor debris cleanup but I think the Orlando parks will be open by tomorrow for sure!
Hilltopper39 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I'm interested to see if the parks are open tomorrow with all of the power outages. Then again those facilities likely have their own generation but whether or not they have enough generation to fully open a park I have no clue. Are the power outages in Orlando as widespread as they are up here? I kept power through thee whole storm but there's a massive chunk still without it, and the winds are still to high to begin repairs from what is being reported.
robbalvey Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Here's the little update I posted this morning: [twitter] [/twitter]
michaellynn4 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 ^ Glad to see you guys are doing okay!!
jten11 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Miami here. Lots of down trees and lines, but we're good! Lots of areas got flooded, (including mine) but the water receded quickly. Luckily still have power. Glad you guys are ok too!
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Disney has told their resort guests that parks will open as normal tomorrow! I understand that there are a lot of people without power (we have some coming to our house for A/C and to charge phones!), but the parks and resorts are fine, and a lot of the cast members that don't have power at home will probably be willing to come to work for power!
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Universal also just announced all parks will open tomorrow as normal!
Superbatboy Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Here's the little update I posted this morning:[twitter] [/twitter] I want that green house they're building across the street, fave color
robbalvey Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Here's the little update I posted this morning:[twitter] [/twitter] I want that green house they're building across the street, fave color That's just part of the insulation system. It's not actually going to be green. It's still under construction.
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Updated to include Legoland NOT posting a reopening date! They still do not have power. (This is why you don't build a major theme park in Polk County!)

It's not actually going to be green. It's still under construction. Oh, whoops. I guess i should've known given it doesn't even remotely match any of the other houses in the development
SharkTums Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Updated - Sea World will NOT open tomorrow! Should open Wednesday after clean up.
