OK here NN....just got power back. Got my cable back a few hours earlier.
It got a little hairy with sustained 100+ for an hour or two, but we (me and the cats) managed just fine. If not for my year old Siamese (named Canoe) pooping in his safe room, then shoving it under the dryer with his paw in a lame effort to hide it from me, it would have been just another hurricane.
My heart goes out to those south and west of us. My friend in Lauderedale got hammered, and those poor folks out on the lake seemed to get it bad as well.
Oh well, we're all stronger now. We can handle this and we have a responsible Governor who knows how to react to these things. We are lucky!
Welcome back! We missed you.
p.s. Remind me sometime to share my cat-poops-in-a-'cane story...
