How did you do, Laz?
I got into work about 30 minutes before my boss. He was steaming because people were calling in to see if they had to work and the storm was ~200 miles South. I've known my boss for 15 years, and he's a great guy with a lot of heart. It's also great that our company was concerned enough to permit leeway incase it turned North, but we didn't get hit at all and they wanted a day off. *sigh*
Broward still closed the schools, and the biggest problem people had is that they had to care for their children and couldn't take them to work in most cases. It was dead in Broward yesterday and all we had was periodic rain.
Overall, it was much less than the impact Katrina had three weeks ago. No flooding, not that much thunder and lightning, and gusts probably never topped 40 mph. Rain was heavy, but intermittent. Probably no more than two or three inches, compared to the nearly twenty Katrina dumped here. And the power never went off. Even so, I put my shutters up for this one, which I didn't do for Katrina.
