My folks said they spent the early morning hours hunkered down in a closet with the dog. They were quick to say that they would NEVER try to ride out a hurricane again, so I guess some good came of all this.

LOL! Sorry, glad to hear they are OK, and hate to chuckle, but I've been in that safe room (yes, with dogs and cats) and I won't be again. I think I mentioned a couple of pages ago that they would be in the closet, and they wouldn't want to repeat the experience. Tell them they can pick up their new Florida Cracker badges at the tax collector's office. ;-)

In other news, a bit of my porch roof peeled up and is clunking around up there in the gusts. I'm astonished the whole thing didn't go. It's not really part of the house roof, and isn't that strong.

I hope that's the extent of your damage. My parents talked to some of their friends who had their garage doors blown out. My parents went out during the calm period in the eye to let the dog take care of business and said they could see their mailbox hhad been blown down the street.
