Florida Webcams

cotton4me — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 21:27:14 GMT

Just an FYI - there are webcams in various places around Florida where you can keep an eye on the weather, what's happening where you, family or friends might live. I don't know how long they'll last in the storm. I've been watching one in the Keys. Just Google Florida Webcams.

There are so many of them offline. I can get only one from Sanibel, and it just looks so peaceful. Which are the webcams still working?

My daughter near Orlando said everyone in her neighborhood decided to stay. She did say the Orlando airport is closing or about to close. My son-in-law owns a plane and it's so frustrating because I wanted them to fly up here to Va.....but then what do I know...Ha! Right?

The one I'm watching is on YouTube - Live Marathon Florida Cam. I would post the link but there are ads on the link, plus there is a live chat going on where bad language pops up from time to time.

I just saw people walking on the street in Key West and a guy on a bicycle 😳

@tucsongal Is that webcam current? I would think it is pretty windy, etc by now!

@Annabellethecat66 I think Orlando is going to be more safe that the coast. Everyone tells me that Orlando is always pretty safe. Prayers!

@PA Mom-mom Thanks. She is my daughter that drives me crazy (there's always one)...Ha! She texts one or two words....Like "We're fine"...."Orlando airport closed" (They have their own plane and I kept saying, "Why doesn't he fly you guys up to Va?" She said the whole neighborhood is staying.

I can understand some of it because like I said, when my late husband was working on a house we'd bought and the hurricane came in 2004 even though we owned the house, he had to leave (he was a Va resident). He died the day before he was due to drive back to see the damage. My daughter and I went down there to see it after his funeral. The house was leveled. He had to leave all of his amazing tools and everyone of them was stolen, every one of them. He'd taken marker and drawn an outline of each one on a peg board where they hung and all that was left was empty outlines.

So, I understand why people don't want to leave their homes. They aren't protected. Now you can say well people's lives are more important and that goes without saying, but some of those tools were given to him by his Dad before his Dad died and he'd just had a birthday and father's day and my daughters gave him some amazing tools worth a lot of money.

Now insurance paid for some of them but you never get the amount paid and how do you replace the memories? It makes me sick to think about it.

Anyway, whatever.

@Annabellethecat66 Wow! I see where you are coming from. A: Daughters are born to drive you crazy. B: God bless you and your family.

I'm watching a beautiful sunset on this webcam:

Beach Bistro

The restaurant is closed and the island evacuated, but they've said the webcam will stay on as long as there is power & internet.

For those that don't want to click on the link, it's a beach front restaurant on one of the Gulf barrier islands in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. It'll likely be underwater by Monday morning if the storm path is accurate.

@PA Mom-mom It's true and there's always one that REALLY knows how to push the buttons. Now that two of them have children and they call me and say, "Mom, you wouldn't believe bla bla". I'm sitting on the other end of the phone doing a fist pump in the air like...."Payback". Ha!

It's not bad stuff just some is teenage stuff or one granddaughter came to my daughter and said, "Mommie, my nose is stuffy". My daughter tells me (on the phone), "And Mom I remembered I'd just cleaned out the fish tank so put my finger on one side of her nose and said, "Blow". She said, "Out popped a small pink pebble". (It came from the fish tank).

She couldn't see me on the other end of the phone (doing that fist pump...."payback". Ha! She was the daughter that drove me crazy! She always says, "I tell my girls what you used to say about me...."Not bad, just busy". Ha! Sure!

I never told my girls they were bad...I'd say naughty or busy, but never call them bad girls. Just didn't think it was the right thing to say.

Yes it's live. I just checked it again and a car drove by, electricity is still on. It's the Two Friends rooftop Key West cam.

I don't understand why some people think they are invincible.

It's not the wind, it's the water and there's lots of it.

I personally would be gone.
