Here in Viera, north of Melbourne on the mainland <1 mile from the Indian River. Never lost power here (Brevard County) east of 95. Newer area, all the lines underground and those that aren't were newly installed on the concrete poles. No home damage, including the screen enclosure. Drained the pool a foot and it has increased an inch or 2 and we are now on the backside of this with winds coming from the SSW, big scary gusts still, no rain right now.
Had "cane" shutters on all except a patio door, glad we did. Garage doors held up, pcar is safe.
Dodged a bullet as eye passed about 40 miles offshore. I'm sure beachside is fuched up.
Sick of the hype and the theatrics with these weather folks and newscasters. I think they approach this as some kind of a show.
Hope everyone here is safe and as lucky as we were.
