Thanks for the report. Does anyone here have any more info. on the Orlando area? We have family there. They are out of town and understand their house is "okay". They said the airport there was still closed so they don't know if they have a car or not. Any news reports on that area?

I saw some footage on the cable channels and it looked fairly roughed up although not as bad as further south and west. I also heard that every major building at the airport was damaged (they got a 105 mph gust there during the height of the storm).

I'm there, one of the few that didn't lose power. I lost cable, so I'm only getting channel 6, and the main damage seems to be to the small planes at Orlando Executive Airport. A lot of them ahave been tossed about and crumpled.
