After riding out storms here for over 40 years, this is the first one that really scares me.

I am in Central Florida....we made it through ok....

No power as of yet, using a generator.

I have two roads into the house....one is open the other has a big tree that fell and that's the one the power lines are on.
 Telephone and cable (internet) came back on about noon today.

Still about 2 million without power here in Florida.

Glad to hear you're OK and working at the recovery, Linda.

The storm turned out to be not as bad as predicted here. I think most of the damage was from tornados. All I have seen is trees blown over and broken branches. No buildings damaged or roofs blown off. Power was out for about 12 hours at home and for several days at my business. We were lucky.
