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

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

the eye has shifted and coming strait up i4..... which I live right next to in South Orlando.....

The back end of the storm Just dissolved. Once the eye came over it pretty much stopped.

Plugged a couple of roof vents in garage area to stop blow-in. Others were too far in and covered by radiant barrier.

That sounds like good news.

for those that it already passed lol

the eye wall is upon us..... wind speed growing from the earlier 50mph...... to around 100.....
I live right next to Disney......
eye just passed Sebring

I wish the best for all the pelicans going through this. Hang tough.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...s/beerchug.gif

Bastard moved inland. I pray the best for you and your loved ones.

all the local news stations have their people reporting from the coasts..... no one here so they're relying on traffic cams.....
1/2 hour and the eye wall is here.... getting pretty brutal out....
still have power.... but I'm in a newer area off s i-drive so everything is underground.....

Stay safe! SmileWavy

Lost power here for 4-5 hrs during the night, is on now though water is out. Main breaks somewhere they say. Some trees down in the hood and lost some shingles. No flooding here, I figure we got about 8" since yesterday. Surprised direct tv was good through most of this. Hope everyone is doing well out there.

we're good here........ eye wall came right over us.
never lost power or water, the advantages of living on the tourist grid next to Disney and everything being under ground.
tons of debris and lost some trees....... but all good

FL got soooooooo-per lucky on this one. Firstly because the hurricane's interaction with Cuba knocked out some of its power and secondly because the turn northward came later than expected. I know, no consolation for those who got the brunt of it or suffered damage / loss but overall this thing had the potential to be a LOT worse. I hope it's a wake-up call to the people in charge of emergency planning that actually having a workable plan (like ensuring people can actually leave, have access to fuel, places to stay, highways that aren't completely clogged for hours, etc.) for millions of people is a requirement now, particularly as sea levels and temperatures rise and populations tend to congregate near the coasts in coming years...

Glad it's (mostly) over and hope most people end up coming home to relatively minor damage.

Glad you guys are making it through with only minor impacts. I'm connecting through ATL now and it's just moderate wind and rain. Sounds like it will get heavier this afternoon.
