For those of you in the afflicted area, I hope you and your families are safe, and stay that way. For anyone who has suffered a loss, I hope comfort comes soon.

We were lucky to only have our power go out!

We live east county near Sarasota and Debby dumped more rain inland in early August than Helene did this week. However, our barrier islands (Siesta Key, Longboat key, Lido Beach/St. Armand's Circle, and Anna Maria had horrific storm surge flooding yesterday from Helene. Many neighborhoods near the Manatee River also experienced flooding.

We were lucky, one limb down, no damage and the power was out for about 8 hours, all good now.

Ditto on what Catfish said. We only lost power (15hrs for me in N. FL). So lucky it wasn't worst!

To see the amount of devastation is heartbreaking, but, the way everyone has pulled together is inspiring. We live a few miles from the Hickory airport and it sounds like a full-time, active airport with all the small private planes and helicopters moving in and out ferrying supplies to the devastated region. (Almost reminds me of Ft Rucker with all the helicopter traffic. )
