Yeah...how bout that last minute change in direction? It was a howler no doubt. So glad you’re ok.
Now for the clean up:) I’ve been out hauling some huge branches off sidewalk, more to dissipate my nervous energy than being a good woman! I was doing this when a young family strolled by. Dad, maybe 35, two boys, 9-12 ish. They stood and WATCHED for a bit, then the boys jumped in and began helping. On their own. Dad continued to watch. I made sure those boys knew they were doing the right and grown man thing. While Dad watched.
Some folks generate better little persons than they are themselves ;-)
Still no power at home. Just returned from a drive to charge phone a little and to recon. Melbourne and Beachside almost completely dark. Business district and some neighborhoods in Palm Bay/West Melbourne lit up and open for business. But tens of thousands without here tonight.
