We are back in the real world, thanks to a small generator I happened to have. (have to refill the gas tank every 20 minutes.
In the Keys we had gusts well over 100. No structural damage but every tree in the area is down.., we now have a water view. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
No power in most of the area, although the Winn Dixie up the street just got their power back.
But, all in all, it was nothing like the folks at Pensacola have suffered the past couple of years.
Our house was like a rock. Despite a few big limbs falling on the roof, is was almost quiet inside.
Our screened in porch was on the lee side of the house, so I sat out their and watched the trees falling. Incredible.
All the boats are fine. The 5.7 that Lance bought from me and had not picked up yet came through just fine. We took the trap wire on each side and tied them to trees and it rode out the storm beautifully.
Not much time.., gotta go fill the gas tank.
