This ol' place was built in 1957. It's concrete block and already been through a few of these storms. Looks like the storm is weakening faster than first thought. Keep our fingers crossed!Jim

It looks like we will get very lucky here in St. Pete. As of now, 8:25 pm, we are only getting gusts up to 45 mph. It looks like it won't get much worse than that. Orlando is going to get it worse than us. But it is now only a Cat. 2, not really life threatening.Steve

I'm just south of Hamilton GA, my house hasn't lost power and no wind damage. Lots of power outages all around me though. Looks like it's about over, we'll see. I hosted a hurricane party last night, just a few friends. We had fun..

No damage to my place. Just a big mess in the lawn and streets. The power is out, and probably will be for a number of days, along with about 80% of the neighborhood. Plenty of fences came down. A guy down the street had a tree come through his roof. Zero flooding around my area.Steve

Power went out about 8:30 Sunday evening. No power meant no TV and no computer to entertain ourselves. We spent a long night in the recliners with the portable radio keeping us informed. Our back yard privacy fence was flattened, a few small limbs were down, and the roofing material was blown off my storage shed, but we suffered no damage to the house. Power was restored about 7:30 Tuesday evening. Got the yard cleaned up Monday afternoon and started disassembling the reusable parts of the fence. Today (Wed) I'm re-roofing the shed. The fence will be a longer-term project as I have to replace all the posts! Ugh!Jim

I think the local power is mostly back.
A friend of mine suffered a Robbery, someone took a whole trailer of pine straw bales - just hooked up and drove off. Her cameras didn't get it, but the cameras across the street got a crappy image, that's all the cops have to go on. Dam thieves. We should be able to line them up and shoot them.
She had a tree fall, but it went in the best possible way, no damage.
I have some big branches to deal with, but no damage..

It's good that everyone seems to have come through with only minor material damage. Fortunately for us we don't get such extreme weathers; so have no first-hand knowledge of what they're capable of.
And for that I thank my Gods.johnboy
