Fort Myers Beach goers enjoy the calm before the storm

There are no dark clouds in the sky but the threat of a major hurricane has people on Fort Myers Beach soaking up the sun while they can.

They’ve seen the cone and they worry what’s to come next week.

“It’s a nice day. I guess it’s going to change. Figure come down and get some sun,” said Gary Dismuke, of Cape Coral.

There’s a storm brewing in the tropics that could bring lots of rain.

“What can you do? Can’t do anything about it. So just wait and see what the forecasters say,” Dismuke said.

Dismuke moved to Cape Coral from Nebraska.

This is the first time he is experiencing the feeling of being in the cone.

He may be a rookie, but he knows what to do.

“Make sure you have enough water and food for three days. We’ve already taken care of that,” Dismuke said.
