Checking in. I had minimal damage, and NEVER lost power!!!!! (It did flicker off about 20 times yesterday evening)
My sister's place likewise was undamaged. OTOH, my neighborhood was in the 15% of the county that did NOT lose power, so we were very blessed. Terrible flooding in Ft. Pierce and up in Jacksonville; don't know yet if any niece or nephew suffered wind/flood damage.
After 72 hours of being on the "dirty side" of that hurricane, with the howling non-stop winds, I thought I would lose my damn mind or at least my last nerve when it finally stopped this a.m. Soooooooo glad it's over, although life will take a few days to get back to normal. When I looked out my front door this afternoon, my next-door neighbor's young children were gathering and bundling all the downed tree branches, palm fronds and sticks in my yard and driveway!
Jose is supposed to be a fish storm. (Yeah, and Irma was supposed to skirt the East Coast, keeping us on her "better" side.
)

You know those things you wear when working with loud equipment like lawn mowers, leaf blowers... His lounger was facing the direction to catch any breeze that might come his way.
