We do have some members down in FL.  From what I can see the map shows about 14-15 people down there.  @billcapp, @26th-Z, @Carl Beck and others are regulars on our site.  Good luck and our prayers go out to you and your families...

I boarde up my NE side of the house. Now with the shift it seems I should have done the other side. I'm spent. Did my moms house yesterday. 

Good thing I got insurance on my Z. Just did this in August.

That looks like a good bunker. Take care, don't eat all the good stuff first and hide your beer.

Good luck, it's crazy that there are 3 strong hurricanes in a row.   Nebraska does have it's fair share of hail and tornadoes, but there's only been a few bad hail incidents in the last few years. No hurricanes or earthquakes... actually we did have an earthquake this spring, it was in Oklahoma, but we felt the effects.  I woke up and my bed was shaking into the wall, I thought it was some kind of Exorcist dream haha! We had a hail storm 2 months ago that broke my windshield and ruined my hood in my DD Tahoe.  Thank God I spend the money on a garage for the Z!  Take care!

So glad I boarded. Pounding rain right now. Another 1.5hr we should be better. Still have power. So many don't. 

Heard at least 4 transformers pop around here. I actually used my z to brace the garage door. Thank goodness I'm still in primer. 

I'm the blue dot in the middle.

Good luck Jeff and other members in the area. Hope it passes over without too much damage.

Irma really made a mess of Saint Martin (dutch colony). One of our friends daughter works on the island, and he lost contact for two days. He was a nervous wreck until she finally got a message through that she was alright.

Thanks guys. Wind is still going. My assesment was off a little. ?

I think cell service is down in a lot of spots. Texted some other friends and heard nothing.

Still here, got lucky, no house damage (at least from what I can tell from a quick survey) lost a fence on the back, BIG limb from neabours tree is thru my screen and into the pool, other than that just a LOT of med to small oak tree limbs EVERYWHERE. I don't think I suffered any roof damage, could not see any missing shingles, and no windows or door were breached. It was a scary night. Lot of clean up to do. Never lost power which is good, no AC in central Florida can be tough.

Glad to hear that some of you folks are now on the far side of that thing and came through OK. I hope the folks down further in south Florida are OK.

From what I hear, it's going to be no picnic even all the way up into GA TN, and AL.
