Tampa.

No damage to house, no flooding, but still no power. A lot of older fences were knocked down by the wind and almost the entire power grid went down. Water is still on and safe. Lost some food but cooked a lot of the perishables last week to eat because it gave us a lot of notice, had time to prepare.

It was a very windy storm, the house shook. We were not in an evacuation zone, stayed. I did sleep through a lot of it.

We are ok, bored I would say, there are restaurants and groceries reopened so it's not as bad as it could be. Lights are on at my place of work and there's a shower there so if we don't regain power over the weekend I will go early on Monday for a hot shower, I am not enjoying the cold showers.

I'm happy to hear that you are safe and experienced no major damage. Hopefully, things get back to normal for you soon.
