Glad everything is OK with you and your family. Prayers sent for any others that were impacted by the Hurricane.

Glad you're OK!

Minor flooding and a few trees down in Jacksonville.

No problems. After 25 years fighting these storms.
You get use to it, and know how and what to do when
they come up.

I'm about 40 miles North of Tampa, Milton was the worse I've been through in the 30 years I've lived here. Made it through with just some tree damage and loss of power for a day. Luckily I am not in a flood zone area.

I'm in seminole and totally agree. worst one I've ever had. Car is fine and house is mostly fine. I'm in evac A but still had plenty of headroom before flooding would have ever been a concern.

Broke my back over the last two days cutting and stacking enough firewood for a decade. Still no power at my house but I can live with that. Pinellas County got hammered. And of course the C5 is fine.

Made it, just lost power. The tornadoes were scarier, hit a trailer park just south of me and about four went by in a matter of hours. Hid the ZO6 behind my plastic rolling garbage containers if the garage door fell in.

The eye went right over us on Wednesday night right after Milton made landfall. Lost power for 40 hours and had some small home trim damage. Many people had it a lot worse a little bit north of us. Three Hurricanes in nine weeks. What’s next?!
