Looks like we may be safe... At least for now.... We have been called about going to south Florida in the keys for emt and rescue work... You guys stay safe.... If there calling us in from NW Florida the situation is grave without a doubt...

Not really sure about keys, but I know currently in SWFL, Naples/ ft Myers got lucky as fuck cape Romano was hit. I'm in ft Myers on the river and the river is like a hot tub water coming from every which way. Fam in Naples (sister, her family and my parents) are ok. A bit of flooding ATM in places, and without power, but damage isn't too bad. Think the tides change about 630 so then the flooding will start. My lady and daughter are in estero getting SLAMMED by eye wall yet watching it on tv....

Good God man! My butthole tightened up so fast I nearly broke my back when I read your fkn post!haha I'm on the west coast(SoCal) and my retarded ass thought for a split second that somehow it changed directions and was on its way here!!!

I realized what the fuk soon enough, but please sir, some of us don't have the smarts to know, off the top of our heads that Florida has a west coast!haha yes, even if the thread is dedicated to Florida.

Although this is true and I found it funny, I hestitated to post as I know this ain't no joke situation but in the end thought maybe someone could use a laugh.

The healing power of laughter is a real thing. Let me heal you. If only for as long as it took for my butthole to relax. Not long but I do what I can.haha

Checkin in...N.Brevard here. Lost power about 11 pm, came back on at 8:30 this morning, off again at 9:30, back on at 6. No damage at the homestead, nor any of the "shops".
Only one shop lost power, whole house Generac (22KW) and generator ready ballasts kept things beautiful.
'Buckets, i know you're nearby, how'd you do?
MK, glad all is well with you. Been a while.
Copperfield, F-Dankster, you guys ok?

Checking in from Pinellas county. Somehow my trailer survived though others in my park were badly damaged. Lost my tin shed and 2 sections of privacy fence. I'm still trying to figure out how the storm took out 2 sections of fence flipped my shed and yet didn't knock even one bucket out of the outdoor Bato bucket system I grow lettuce and cucumbers in.

Still no power though and Duke is saying possibly days before it's restored. Hand watered but they already been dark almost 48 hours.

I had power until 830 monday morning....not sure how it survived the hurricane to go off after it passed. 24hrs so far with lights off. Prolly try throwing the plants in the garage so they can get some sort of light schedule.

No damage to the house though

Checkin in, good to see people posting that they're OK. Any body heard from Hugh or Morecheeba? Looked like Cheeb took a direct hit.

I'm not unscathed but nothing too serious was damaged and nothing flooded so I'm thankful for that and have been busy cleaning up the mess.

Lost power about 5 PM and it's still out. Duke says it may be another week til they can sort it. Been on a generator since Monday AM. and just got internet back this evening. Got cuttings and clones under a trouble light, haven't been able to get to my spot to see how the outdoor girls fared.

Headed out tomorrow or thursday to help a buddy that was also in the path. He's got flooding and a shit ton of trees and debris to clear, but his place has also been cut off by flooded and washed out roads so until he makes it out to the main road I can't get in to help him.

Remember to help anybody you can in these times. A little kindness and generosity goes a long way. I've lived through 50 years of hurricanes and while I respect them, I don't fear them but for some people this was a truly terrible event.

Power finally back. Girls look ok. The ones only a week I to 12/12 are a little stretched from lack of light but otherwise OK.

My outside veggies didn't fare as well. Hot sun and 2 days no water fairly decimated what the storm didn't.
