Hi elfman, yes we did fine. We live up on the rocky ridge, so surge is never a concern here, just wind. Had boarded up the entire house. IMO, we took a glancing blow and "got away with it" again. I'm very thankful.

Electricity back a few hours ago!

Hey Sam, glad to see you got power back. I'm in Miami Lakes area and still powerless. Ran into the FPL guy yesterday and he said it may be 10 days til our neighborhood gets power. Though looking at the progress today, I think it will be less.

I had to kill half the day getting gas for the generator, but it is well worth it. The house survived fine but the landscaping is a big loss. Three of my big beautiful trees are destroyed. There goes the shade.

Overall we were well prepared, but I get better with each storm.
