rdalert447 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don’t know much about that area and didn’t get down near Sanibel in the aftermath. Sorry pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalert447 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 BGS, and other Floridians affected…. A couple of co-workers received $700 in FEMA assistance using this link: http://www.disasterassistance.gov/ $700 doesn’t go very far, but might help if one was affected. They said it took about 6 days to hit their bank accounts… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdalert447 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 You could usually hit the power company for a couple hundred with a spoiled food claim. Not that I would advocate scamming… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKolzig Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 if you were ANYTHING but a single white male you could live 100% free if you just did your homework. just go into a walmart and you will say "how is this person not homeless?"

I made it down to the reconstructed Pine Island Bridge today. Went to the foot of the bridge on the Cape Coral side. It’s a bit less rosy than DeSantis made it out to be. Bridge can only support 40,000 tons at one time. So they weigh each vehicle, check id’s, then allow 40k tons worth at a time to cross. Then again, etc etc. Traffic backed up for an hour or so, I’d estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars weigh 1 ton, - lets say 2 for safety, that would mean it could handle 20,000 cars at a time? If it's 40,000 lbs(20 tons) that would mean it could handle roughly 20 vehicles at a time. I take it's a temporary bridge that'll be replaced later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 How's the area look in general, are people starting to clean up and haul away the debris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalert447 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I’m pretty sure the sign said 40k tons, but I could be mistaken. It’s mostly huge trucks going over. I should’ve snapped a pic. I didn’t go over the bridge, so don’t know how Pine Island looked. Cape Coral wasn’t bad. Gas stations open, stores open, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdalert447 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just did a quick google search, says fully loaded dump trucks can weigh 36 tons, so perhaps I have the number wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 could be 400 tons, so it could only handle 10 at a time? That would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 If this is it then it's just a relatively short bridge, i thought it was that big high one in that original clip. looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalert447 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ah. Hadn’t seen that video. Explains why traffic is backed up so far. This is where my stop was, below. Looks like I was a few miles back from where the crossing actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
