SWJ Up and Running
I was in a mandatory evacuation zone so me, my two dogs and two cats left just before the storm arrived on the mainland for a house nearby that wasn't. Long story short – just arrived back home, no damage and the electric power was still on. The eye passed just east of me and that seemed to make a world of difference (east vs. west side of a hurricane). My best wishes and thoughts are with those nearby who bore the brunt of Irma's march north.
Glad to hear you and yours are safe and OK.
Have a brother in Homestead (who was there also for Andrew) — who said that he lost power — but only for a day or so. This could have been so much worse.
Best wishes as the recovery — for much of the entire state of Florida it would seem — goes forward.
