I follow a few channels on YT pretty closely. The content varies widely. The common denominator is likable people worth caring about. I am so thankful to you for sharing your situation with us, and I’m very thankful you are both well and safe.
really appreciate the kind words! we are almost back to normal, just gotta straighten some stuff up downstairs. 🙏
Indeed!!!
I just found this channel cos of the storm and will be following for the same reasons you mentioned above
The Scourge of
Climate Deniers
(i.e. CharlatCons)
Well put. My sentiments, exactly.
So thankful that you guys are ok! Thank you for the inside look at the storm, it was super interesting and informative. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the hurricane as they begin the clean up and repair process! Take care and stay safe!
indeed! thank you!
@@KeyWestWaterman when waters clear of course
@@penndunaway the canal looked like a mess!!! 0 visibility!!
We here on Patricia Street weren't so lucky. Thank God no one was hurt. Material things can be replaced.
LOL - what a strange thing to say, they had the option of leaving...
Everybody I know has a relative or close friend living in Florida. This is news more than entertainment and I personally appreciate the “state of the keys” after Ian message.
My mother was in the direct path at Bradenton. Miraculously for her it went south and east by about 80 miles. She is bone dry, full power snd no damage at all. Her husband did have a medical emergency at the shelter and had to be hospitalized. No word on his outcome. At 93 anything could be wrong but hopeful. Anyhow glad you all had minimal issues and as always. Much appreciated. Thank you.
wow she really got lucky, hope hes okay. we did just find considering.
@@KeyWestWaterman oh yeah you all did. I appreciate the grateful no whining attitude you both have. It would be easy to get down after something like that. You all inspire so many.👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing. It is important for people to see the power of these storms for both preparation and evacuation. I live in a little town outside of New Orleans called Luling. We were ground zero for IDA and live in a slab home just above sea level-very different from a hurricane rated -elevated home. We were without power for 22 days and many folks like my neighbor have still not been able to move back into their homes for over a year later. No appreciable services (GAS, Food, Water for a couple of months). I recall the horror of seeing the neighborhood that looked like a war zone upon my return. Our contractor did not complete the needed repairs until January 22 and we had to spend another 3 weeks out of the house during the worst of the sheetrock work. Not from flooding just wind and rain. The moral of the story is you need to understand the risks and limitations of staying or leaving. You are in a good place with type of home you have and experience in dealing with storms. But people need to fully appreciate their individual circumstance, the power of these storms and prepare or get out accordingly. Again in the wake of this storm as in Katrina we will see many deaths and heartache that could have been avoided if folks would only think through the decision to stay or go. Regards Steve
they def are humbling every time!
I’m so glad the way it went for us but unfortunately so many people can’t say the same, this hurricane was pure devastation for many families. Stay safe brother great footage
It was a bad one for sure. Breaks my heart to see all the loss.
Firstly thank God you two are ok and made through without severe damage and still have power. And Thank you sooo much for sharing this actual footage in real time. Be safe ❤
we really got lucky for sure 🙏
There's the funky truck outside the Hogfish!!! 🤣 We been there! Thank you again for that suggestion. One of the best meals ever.
haha!
We took the center of the eye directly over my house in Cape Coral. I've been through every hurricane for 40 years and nothing compares to this storm. 8 hours of hurricane force winds with gusts over 160mph for a few hours. My new Gulf access home did not flood but others were not so lucky. We lost power for 11 days but many lost everything so I am not complaining. Pine Island, Ft. Myers Beach, Sanibel and the barrier islands were all decimated. We are heading to Key West in a few weeks to have a beer and relax for a few days. We definitely need a break!
I heard it was terrible over there, really hate to hear it. reminds me of irma from what I've heard. love to hear yall did okay. prayers to the rest.
So glad you guys are good..thought of you two often!!!
all good! 🙏
Glad you guys are good. WAY better to over prepare than underprepare. My heart goes out to all of the people who have lost their homes and also the undercarriage of your truck
absolutely! and indeed, so sad
Let us pray for the people who are experiencing difficult times with this dangerous and fierce hurricane. I send many blessings to the American people and to other nationalities. Greetings from my humble Venezuela.
indeed!
First of all, prayers out to those who've lost property, livlihoods, and their lives. As a resident of Wilmington NC for the past 10 years or more, I have to admit, I do not understand how people continue to be "caught off-guard" during these hurricanes. You guys obviously were prepared, but how others continually choose not be, I will never understand. I really enjoy your videos, I'm sorry you had to make one under these circumstances, but I'm glad you're ok.
its shifted alot more than they said it was going to, 30-40 mph winds are a winter cold front for us. 70-80 is a different ballgame. The reports showed it would be the lesser.
@@KeyWestWaterman they are definitely unpredictable good point you guys stay safe again love the content
thanks for the update, glad you guys skirted the worst of it and minimal damage and prayers to all those out there facing damages ! Stay safe!
indeed, we were some of the lucky ones
glad you two were safe. prayers for all in the path 🙏. God Bless and please stay safe 🙏
thank you!
Hey Aaron. We are about 3 blocks from the Square Grouper on Cudjoe Key, south side of US 1. We had 11.5" of water downstairs. Just like you, prepare well and all will be well.
love to hear it! 🙏 sounds like yall did okay
Well, glad y'all are OK & have power. Still very windy here in Clearwater, Thursday pre-dawn- Lots of gusts, plenty o'rain- although not as much as we were expecting. Gonna have lots of tree stuff to clean up!
Godspeed!! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
hopefully you make it through okay!
So happy to hear your safe! Sorry to all of those who didn't fare as well they have my prayers 🙏 😢
indeed 🙏
Thanks for the updates! Hopefully everyone else down there is as lucky as you guys 🙏
hopefully!
You are so cool with your sun glasses on your hat. Ya know just in case you get in some solid sun eye wall exposure. Wow you’re a hero
Lol? i'm a fisherman my sunglasses don't leave my person.
Live in Venice FL, the eyewall sat over my home for nearly 5 hours, with 125 mph winds, and dumping 19.5" of rain. We went to Stuart FL to ride it out 1.5 days before landfall. Numerous neighbors told me, "no it won't happen here and we're going to stay", but it did hit! My wife and I are alive, their status unknown. It has been heart breaking watching this on TV. If you have visited SW FL you've already shed a tear. Going back on Sat to access, with no idea what awaits. Say a prayer for SW FL.
such a bummer so sorry to hear it. hope everyone is okay.
I'm so glad that you guys are okay. And I've definitely been praying for all of you down there.
almost back to normal! thanks for the support!
Paradise comes at a cost from time to time, glad ya all were spared of any real damage. Prayers go out to your friends and neighbors dealing with all the water damage.
You see sailboats with their sails on ,,, expecting a nice insurance reward !
indeed it does
Holy Shit!! I’m glad to see you guys are doing ok and were prepped. My family on the gulf side is struggling still. But so glad to see one of my favorite TH-camrs and the beautiful fiancé is all good and well
yea I hear it got bad over there! hope they recover quickly
I appreciate you and your wife, working together as solid unit. You two are blessed brother. I just hope that all of the single ladies of Florida and the single men of Florida find each other, because in times like these, no one should be alone. Two heads are better than one, and women gives men strength as men give women strength, and together, they both move with purpose, focus and can move mountains in times like these.
I sent a communication to all of my military brothers and sisters living down there to just do what we're trained to do in crucial and catastrophic times. They're on it!
amen! noone I'd rather have by my side in these situations!
I’m so glad you and Madalynn are safe. I’m sorry those on the north side got hit so hard and continued prayers for those getting the full brunt of the hurricane. Stay safe brother…
🙏
So happy you've not suffered badly during the storm. We messaged you via another of your recent posts stating our concerns for you and Madelyn. Wishing you calm seas and insignificant damages.
very fortunate!
Glad all is good with you two. Thanks for the update.
🙏
Sometimes it's hard to understand the selective hand of GOD'S mercy. Lending your hand to the neighbor hit hard by the storm brings wonderful energy from above. Prayers to you both and for a quick recovery for your neighbors.
everyone helps everyone in these times down here!
Glad y’all are okay and your house was spared. Hope the boat is safe!
boat is well also!
Glad you guys are safe. I thought for sure it would have been worse. Prayers for everyone !
all good!
I'm very glad you guys are OK...Look on the bright side...Only 2 more months of hurricane season left.😎
haha right!
My gf and her husband just moved to port Charlotte last year so this was their first and it went right over them. They put in shutters which saved all of their windows, an enormous tree going down on the neighbors just missed their house. She said the eeriest part was when the eye went over them.
Glad you all had minimal issues.
They a hell of a first storm to ride out. Sounds like everyone got it pretty bad over there.
Glad that you fared pretty well. Ian has been blowing pretty good here(St Petersburg) all day. It's amazing to see how it sucked the water out of Tampa Bay. Just hope for the people along the bays that the surge as Ian passes isn't to bad. We ate at the hog fish last year when we were in key west. Sorry to see the damage to such a beautiful place
yea its pretty creepy when it does that, stay safe!
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks guess we are getting into the worst of it now.
Glad you two made it so well , kills me to see the live aboard vessels like that . People got to take storms serious 😕😔🇺🇸
such a bummer
Thanks for the update. We also lucked out in south Alabama as the beast turned N Easterly as predicted. Amazing tracking these days. In 1989 St Croix Hugo it was friends in Texas that called us and told us we were in the path of a huge storm.
different times!
Wow thanks for the great coverage Aaron. Glad you guys are safe and damage was to a minimum for you. Thanks for sharing. This too shaw pass. 🤜🤛
🙏
Glad all is well for you 2. Really appreciate the update. That Timelapse was nuts…once it broke the concrete and began creeping closer to the house I said “That’s a big load of NOPE!”
Humbling feeling sitting there and not being able to do a darn thing.
Key West Waterman 1 - Ian 0
yea its a very strange feeling, hurry up and wait.
You are both beautiful and blessed. Thank you for sharing your area. God bless everyone and I love everyone.
🙏
I am glad that yall faired so well. Thanks for the update.
absolutely!
You definitely dodged a bullet , good thing your living space is well elevated . Thx for the updates and glad you faired well .
we did for sure!
Thanks for sharing. Nice to see ya'll drying out
indeed!
Wow watching that water rise is sketch. Sending you lots of Aloha. Stay safe.
its a strange feeling!
Glad all is ok ... and y'all survived... enjoy watching all your videos ... keep them coming ... stay safe ..
🙏
Glad you made out…still hunkered under big wind in Stuart. Thx, Andrew
stay safe!
Well I’m dam glad you folks faired very well . And I love all your YT STUFF. I’m planning to have my 12 ur old son and I certified scuba by spring of next year just so he and I can share memories together. For I am 53 yrs old it took 16yrs to have my son through trials and tribulations so time is of the essence any good glad to know you guys were not on the south side
love to hear it! get him out there early!
🙏 prayers for all in Florida. Thankful you faired as well you did.🙌
got lucky for sure!
Wow, gripping footage of the rising tide in your yard and home, and then the gladness of the abatement. Sitting here a little north of Orlando watching its approach (for as long as I can).
was such a relief! stay safe up there!
Glad to see you guys made out ok during the storm. Keep up the good content coming.
thank you!
Glad y'all faired ok. I was worried, but kept close eyes on your Instagram posts. Thanks for keeping us updated.
absolutely!
Glad to see everybody's OK. I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now. The crazy part is I happened to see Madeline's sign on the fence last week at the ramp and used that boat ramp again JUST YESTERDAY! I had no idea the sign was attached to your fence. Small world. Stay safe! Capt Mike (from NJ)
haha too funny! def small world and we are all good back to normal
Thanks for sharing, I´m happy for you an Madeleine !
We got lucky! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the update. I was down near you last spring caught lots of fish! Amazing place. Very glad yall were not hit too hard. My brother is in Port Charlotte and i have not heard from him since this morning. I'm sure their ok but they got hit hard. The house has lots of damage and don't know much more. They preped well just like you and that is all you can do.. thanks again.
hopefully they are okay! heard its bad over there.
So glad that was the extent of it. I was on vacay in PStJoe and Ian cut that a day short, but my Gheenoe would not hack it in 30 mph winds. :) Thanks for showing your preps. It was actually educational. Y'all take care.
haha I wouldn't think so! thanks for watching
I drive to key west every year from PA and stay at Boyds campground and eat at hogfish bar religiously.. I'm so happy to see everything made it okay! I'm glad everyone is safe!
they did just fine! thanks for tuning in
Thanks for the update, glad y’all are ok.
🙏
So glad ya'll dodged the bullet. Prayers going out for all of those that didn't. Some really tough news coming out of some of those areas down there like Lee County. Take care guys
yea they got hit pretty hard over there unfortunately
Great time lapse…always thinking of ‘the shot’ ! Cheers,and we’ll done on your ‘bullet dodging’…
haha thanks so much!
HOLY SHIT GUYS!!! Good deal! We are in the big bend and had nothing but a puff of wind. Headed down to Fort Myers in the next week to help some friends! Cheers y’all!
you got the good end of it then haha!
O man this is Great News we were waiting to here from you both. Right on Great footage...Glad all is good .
we are good!
Glad to see you and Paddlin' are safe and sound!
all good!
I enjoyed your video while sitting beside I95 at the Florida line, was heading down to do storm work delivering fuel. Glad you guys fared well.
🙏
The worst surge I ever experienced was hurricane Wilma in 2005. It swung about 75 miles west of key west and was a cat 4 at the time. I lived on Northside drive. About 85% of the cars on the island were totaled from the water. We had about chest deep water which ironically at the time my buddy and I walked through that to bob mongelli's house (man in video) to see them as his kids are our age. Chest deep water! Absolutely worst hurricane I ever experienced, and it wasn't even the wind, the winds were never bad, but the surge was next level!!! Glad y'all are safe!
yea I wasn't here at the time but hear that one was bad!
Happy to hear you all are doing ok. The utility company I work for sent 200 electric lineman and support yall's way this morning.
love to hear it!
So glad you two are safe and DIDNT loose anything I will keep everyone in my prayers!!!
couldnt have been more lucky!
Happy for you guys! We’re all good here in Key Largo as well! Excited for next weeks action video!
love to hear it!
Thank you for sharing your details and insight / explanations with the rest of us that have never been through a hurricane. I hope you and your community are able to rebuild to a "normal" life again.
🙏
GREAT Feeling when that tide starts to drop ! been waiting several hours today on the Nassau River in north fla. as Ian passes by Ever so slowly.....I CAN relate !
its a strange feeling!
Thanks for update you guys dodge hell of a bullit . Pray for people Fort Myers and Sanibel.. Orlando flooded A1A near Palm Bay bout to wash out again. Michael closed it 5 yrs ago. We were spared Gville. But still had to stay 36hrs due to hospital. Now work begins
they are gonna need it, sounds like they got it pretty bad!
Thanks for letting us know your ok. I’m praying for everyone south of the storm. We evacuated 30 miles west of Tampa. Windy & rough of course but the worst is over till we go home. Stay safe
yea the left coast got it worse than we did
Glad you made it with no negative report. 😊
me too!
Thanks for the video. We live in Safe Harbour and haven’t returned for the season yet. Your trip to Hogfish was very informative. I’ll say hello when we return in a few weeks. Glad your house and boat did well.
got hit pretty good down there, but most did okay in the water.
By 3:00 we were getting rocked here in Venice. We were north of the storm so we didn’t getting the storm surge but a lot of people were flooded from all of the rain. I got power, water and internet turned on the past couple of days. Considering how much damage we had here, it’s pretty unbelievable how fast they are getting us up and running again.
Yea heard it was pretty bad up there. So sorry to hear it!
Good to see that you've had minimal damage. The prep work paid off, I think.
indeed it did with a little luck!
Glad you guys made it through safe. Thanks for the video and the explanation of the surge water. Never understood how that worked until now.
its fascinating to me
Glad you guys made it through without too much damage. Prayers for the rest of Florida!
Thank keep safe
Gg
we got lucky!
1st video I was actually looking for when I came home today. Thankfully all good so far. This one was quite a lot larger than I thought it would be from the footage I have seen so far.
yea it snuck up on us when it kept creeping east
As Duane said, I too follow 4 of you YT family's in the keys,thanks for sharing this with us. We who love the ocean and fishing also love and enjoy what you do for us. Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
absolutely !
There’s something about making it through a hurricane. The feeling you get the next day. You’re still alive and all the people you care about are still alive. And sure some bad stuff happens. But it brings people together. That’s the cool part. Wish you guys well!
fear bonding! its a real thing, even though theres alot of bad that comes with these storms I know what you mean.
Glad you faired well. We got absolutely hammered four years ago with Michael. Was supposed to be a Cat 2 and 48 hours later it hit us a Cat 5. We went over a week without water and three weeks without electricity. Luckily I had friends in low places who brought me beer 🍺
thats def no bueno! they are sneaky storms like that.
Stuff can be replaced. Ya'll can't be. Glad ya'll are safe. We'll get our part of it in S.C. on Friday, but hopefully it won't be be bad. Thanks for the info
amen! that is the motto
Glad that you and PM are ok. Take care and God bless!
🙏
So glad you two are ok. I'm hoping your friends and family are as well. Some folks might be saying you shouldn't be out riding when roads are flooded but I feel that you know your area that well that you and Maddie were not in danger. Thanks for taking your time to update us.
We got lucky!
I’m heading to Naples as soon as I can. Glad your ok and your boats good. Anytime one goes they and you have your health and loved ones it’s a win. Supplies will be coming
indeed!
Glad you dodged the big bullets. We are still hunkering down. Thankful it came ashore just south of us.
stay safe!
Survived. Now the clean up!
Survived. Now the clean up!
Thank you guys for sharing
Your vlog is better than the News, thank you guys and be safe
🙏🏻
Thanks God you guys are doing ok. I'll be down tomorrow to check on my house.
hope it all works out!
Glad y’all are good. We are in Bradenton and got lucky as well. Skirted the edge of the 100+mph winds
woo! glad you did well!
Thank you sir, for showing us, up north.
thanks for tuning in
So glad you guys are ok and have little damage. We also did just fine in PSL. The wind kept my grandson up most of the night but that's all.
🙏
It's howling in DeLand right now! Glad you're good.
stay safe!
amen!!! you guys are ok, my family and friends in florida are now getting the water and the winds as i type to you....
🙏 hope they fare okay!
Glad y’all are safe, getting our round of the storm today. Nothing crazy but they shut a few things down
we are good! hope yall faired okay
@@KeyWestWaterman still playing the waiting game! I think this afternoon it’ll show it’s face but seems to be slowing down. We will see if it catches any steam from the atlantic
Glad you guys faired well and are safe. Down in Puerto Rico many still without power from Fiona. Standing strong!
hopefully they get them back up soon!
Sure am relieved that you guys are safe and relatively unscathed. Our Prayers are with you all and hope the whole community recovers quickly. Thanks for sharing. Viewing from the 🇬🇧
🙏🏻
I'm on vacation out of country and the whole time was thinking about you guys blue Gabe, dear me for dinner, many more and also my family over there I'm. glad to know you guysare ok.

Glad you’re safe! I’m in Tampa and it looks like we’re dodging another one 🎉🎉
thats what I was seeing!
Glad you're OK thanks for sharing
happy to
Glad you guys are all good !
all good!
I live on the east coast of FL on a canal just off the Indian River Lagoon. I’ve never evacuated through major, minor, and in between hurricanes. But, the one thing that scares the crap out of me and would make me flee my home is SURGE!
haha I hear that! its nice being 12' off the ground
