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.
