A lot of you know Dennis Green of Islander Watersports located at the Islander Resort, (A Guy Harvey Outpost) in Islamorada.

This has been the start of many catamaran races including the Tybee 500 and Florida 300 as well as many others like the A-Class events.

Starting to get info, the Keys are a mess of course but the worse damage was in the middle and lower keys.

Not sure why these pictures aren't embedding, but the links work. The Islander Watersports rental shack is completely gone, the beautiful white crushed stone/sand grounds are plowed up and most of the hotel units were water damaged. Islamorada overall faired OK compared to the lower keys and is starting to get power and cleared roads.

The real recovery has to wait for insurance adjusters to get in a access claims.

They're not embedding because the URL points to the php code that defines the database location and not the actual .jpg

And man, wow. I guess besides the issues on the grounds around the Islander, every room would need to be gutted. Looks like the water was really high there too.

They should work, those are the actual image url's, even though they don't end in .jpg Something in the coding for the bbcode image tags with this forum software.

If I use html like "img src=" " then the same url's do embed. I've got a ticket in with the forum software.
