Not to sound insensitive, but I was looking at some exotic cars last night, and many dealers were in Florida. Do they have special, secure storage that would protect these cars from flooding?

Florida Power and Light is using Daytona Speedway as a staging area for recovery crews. Their Facebook page says they have 17,000 workers at the ready.

Had about a 3 hr power loss.

Winds be a howling. Scum looters.

Power crews from 38 states and Canada are here to help.

My in laws are holding down the fort in their home on the beach front in Marco Island, so far so good, their boat maybe not so much. Spent all day helping a friend move all of his possessions from his house to his front yard trash pile so the construction crew to come in and demo the interior of his home in Houston. Been a long couple of weeks.

Is it me but it seem that the CNN reporters seem disappointed that the destruction is not as big as it was build up...

Yeah, I effen hate all these reporters. They do seem very disappointed that all of Florida hasn't been completely leveled. Please stop showing a branch that fell and trying to turn it into something it isn't..

I saw one reporter going on and on about a black shoe in the street in Miami

Anyway, Central FL looks to have escaped any serious wind damage as of the latest predictions:
