    Been watching the news quite a bit this morning... looks to be a mess, but they think the storm may be coming apart, still dangerous, but weakening a bit more quickly than anticipated

    Seems the networks have bailed on coverage. Not a big enough tragedy I suppose.

  • Glad you made it through with minimal (when 130 mph winds are factored) damage, Fred!

    Thinking about Mike in Ft. Meyers and wishing the best.

    We are still very much in this weather event with some of the strongest winds of the day rolling through now. Lost power about 4 hours ago, but have generator powering lights, refrigerators, laptops and cell chargers.

    Thanks for everyone's well wishes. Much appreciated!

    -Mike

  • We are ok! Power out since about 10pm. Scary wind, but everything is holding together. Maybe an hour or so and it will be diminishing alot, I hope.

    Yeah I hate that too. Always asked my wife, why always the eerie cr@p in the dark.
    She asked me why I had my hunting waders and kept running into the flooded street
    told her
    "B/C I can't see and I want to see how much time before the water comes into the house"

    another thing that sux all that wind dies after the hurricanes and then there's not even a breeze. Without power the air becomes still and stagnate

    but I guess the best is we're still alive and we move on

    Good luck and best wishes...bsafe

    I hope this storm doesn't spawn tornado's or flooding as it moves inward

  • Got about 5 hours sleep after the eye passed east of us. Waiting for first light to survey the house. We are still getting the back side winds and rain, now from the WNW.

    My little HF generator has been the hero of the event. It's run 13 hours on 4 gal of fuel. I left it running when we went to bed thinking it would just run out of gas in the middle of the night. Woke up at 5 wondering "what's that sound?" Just made a cup of coffee. :)

  • No damage to our home. Power back on - hats off to @lightman1 and his minions!

    This was our first major storm in our eight years here in SW Florida. The tropical storms we've weathered pale in comparison. Glad some of the power of Irma dissipated before it got here.

    Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. We're pleased with our prep and everyone working as a team and feel very fortunate.

    Hope @Mikey081057 is okay.
