i'm still waiting to find out if our condo got water inside or not in Ft Myers. I know we had a lot of water in the area but not sure if we got extremely lucky and stayed dry, or if some got inside.

It was a pretty good blow in Oviedo.

All is well and I am preparing for the fall/winter/spring
show and go season.

Got to replace part of fence.
My Cars, people, & critters all good.
Sad to see the trees all broken in MIA
My street was a raging river 1 ft deep. The Miami river is usually 5 or 6 ft lower
Miami Beach was flooded too

Cocnut Grove report
Should have said Coconut Grove. My house is on a high coral ridge, 19 feet above sea level, and the C6 was safe and sound in the garage. Even though the neighbor's giant African Tulip tree uprooted and ended up resting on the edge of my garage roof. Damage was minor and repaired as of yesterday. Power was out until Thursday night - but the generator kept me in cold drinks and hot food.
Trees and big limbs down EVERYWHERE, and many stoplights are still not working. Idiot drivers here have already forgotten to treat every dead stoplight as a four-way stop.

It was tough in my area but all is good damage was extensive on my oak shade trees as they lost a lot of branches but stood rite up and are coming rite back, my rear fence is gone, will replace roof messed up need new, water heater was replaced already.
Power was down a week but generator was ready so I actually enjoyed the down time as everything was closed for days there was no power for business to open and the trees where all over on the streets and highways.
Thumbs up for Miami Dade and Broward Countys administrations as they cleared the highways first (Brilliant Thanks)
My vette was in the must protected area so the Irma bit$h couldn't touch it
(nobody better not touch my car)
My personal finances flourish with every hurricane so I don't pray against them I only ask for the will of God lol.
