Hey we made it through! Power, phone and cable has been restored here with not much damage in the area other than trees, screen enclosures and etc. My travel trailer is a complete write-off, looks like a giant with a can opener had a field day with it...oh well.
Thanks for the thoughts and considerations, I appreciate it! The folks that are not as fortunate as most of us a little further south can sure use our thoughts and prayers though.

Glad to see that the planet is still capable of generating relatively mild hurricanes.

Yea my friend was stuck in Cancun during Wilma. He went down there to work the MTV Music awards show. Some of his crew got out but he got stuck. He said it was so powerful it did'nt just blow out the windows, it blew the whole window frame and all out of the concrete in his hotel. Said they had 2 days of hurricane force windows because it was only moving 5 mph when it hit them. When it first hit it had 140 mph winds with gusts to 175 mph! Good thing it was not as strong when it hit Florida or there would have been a lot more deaths. I think its time they started building houses out of concrete and steel in Florida, like they do in Mexico, they just get hit by too many hurricanes and wood just isn't strong enough.
