I sent Viperormiata a message yesterday. I have not heard back, I will update here once I do, if I do. I believe all power and cell towers are out in the Keys. I have heard reports of most of the islands being under water at the worst times.

I am glad the coast didn't head west. You guys are probably going to get it worse then us when it is all said and done now.
Stay safe Atlanta.

Just spoke with parents in JAX and everything at the beach and on the river is flooded- so I bet Savannah and Charleston get the same based on similar proximity to the Irma's trails.
How about that "anti-surge" at Tampa Bay?

We are at the green dot on this map. Category 2 and 105mph when it crossed us at about 1:30am. The trees took the brunt of it and kept the highest wind speeds above the buildings, thankfully. Power still out and trees are getting cleared up.

That manatees story, was both heartbreaking and uplifting!

I evacuated to sixshooter's just so I could experience the eye....which I slept through. My house was barely touched. My neighbor told me we never even lost power and the lights merely flickered a few times. I had a single sheet of aluminum flashing on the roof come off when it got hit by a branch and I already screwed it back in place. I have a bazillion branches in my yard and there was a palm tree that snapped in half down the street but other than that we made it out fine. I am feeling very lucky. My coworker in Wesley Chapel had her power go out and the utility company told her it could take 7-10 days to have power restored. I can't imagine.
