All our Florida peeps' batten downed ?

The worst for me was last night, lost power, cable and internet, I stored water, saved empty water bottles and refiled them with tap and then froze them to keep the freezer cold and it worked, less then 12 hours everything was back on, only cleaning I had to do was clean up neighbors stuff that blew in my yard no damage to the house and helped others clean up, the hurricane also blew out the hot weather, spent a lot of time outdoors.

I didn't know just how bad the southern counties got hit until the power came back, goodness, it's going to take months or longer to clean that up, even though at the time I was cussing I had no power then that all changed to, damn we were lucky after watching the news.

Excellent Big Ken glad you and your property survived.

Some of the pics I've seen of Ft Myers are horrible. Looks like damage is pretty bad.

Building Materials pricing will move upwards in this part of the country as some panic buying will begin. Seen this way too many times in the past.

I’m on the road in ft. Meyers. Wife says power is back on at the house. Our power plant here is surprisingly ok. Just gotta fix a few minor things. I’ll probably be home by Monday. Sleeping at the power plant on a cot, because there are no hotels available. I can only describe the Ft. Meyers area as “apocalyptic “.

Got a email from a friend in Ft Meyers.
They had no damage, just a tree down and a lot of debris to pick up.
House was untouched by the debris and wind.
They are about 15-20 minutes from the shoreline.

I’ve got about 5 days of fuel. Hopefully, power will get restored by then, or, I can get more fuel.

When we had Sandy blow by --- even though I had oodles of stored gas -- then we had 3 cars --- all the tanks were topped off ---- the one that was worse on gas ----- didn't move for a month --- emergence back up ---- when 2 - 5 gal. cans were emptied --- I go on the great gas search --

Even though you have it --- always look for more --

Sorry. Nope. Stuart is fine. Very little impact there. I’m sure the ex is fine. Lol.
