Man I thought my computer was broken when I turned it on and there was no Al.
Glad your safe

Wimpy, Sorry about your friend on the Keys. It would probably be expensive, but do they even sell Hurricane insurance? Looks like Jose is ramping up for east coast Be careful.Glad to see you survived "The Nuclear Hurricane" as one of the mayor's called it. Sounds like you came out generally unscathed and you still have each other. Luckily my buddy on Big Pine Key got out days before mass evacuation from the keys started,from limited info, has nothing but an empty lot now and no idea when he's going back. Friends in Orlando area never lost power. Strange storm.
Glad you guys are well, Al. My mom in-law in Naples still has no power as of today.
Still cleaning up down here. Gas & water are easier to get, but not much food in the grocery stores.
NO dairy or frozen food at all at Walmart.
Gonna give Publix a try early tomorrow morning.
Was gonna stop there today, but there wasn't any available parking spots, so I think they must have dairy & frozen foods.
Looks like there are a couple of more storms coming off the African coast heading toward us too!
I lived in Ft. Lauderdale for 35 years before moving inland, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about hurricanes anymore.
100% of Highlands County residents lost power, and I'm one of the few to have it back. Thank you Lord!!!

Well I just got electricity & internet back.
Our house didn't get any damage, but all the trees around it did & I have been cleaning up the mess for 3 days. We had no elec, gas, food,or water. But Luckily I had a stash & just about the time my generator was going to run out of gas a friend of mine over on the West coast showed up with 20 gallons of fuel. When that ran out we went up to Winter haven, about 45 miles, because we heard they had fuel. I had enough to get there but not to get back if we didn't get any. We passed a bunch of gas stations that were closed, & finally found one with fuel. So I filled up the car & gas cans & we were set for a couple of more days. So it's all good now.
Thanks to all you guys who were thinking of me & all my Florida brothers!

Maybe in a week or two after I figure out the new format.
I guess you're all cleaned up now, Al !!
Just glad you & Judy & the rest made it through that Beast !!
Now it's time to put some Great Smokes up for us to gaze at !!

Take your time AL! CHILL! Things will get better, glad y'all are Okay.
Maybe in a week or two after I figure out the new format.
I'm beat, and I just want to chill out with a beer or a glass of Scotch.
Our Grandson is here, so he's cooking for us tonight. Some kind of gourmet feast.
I finally finished the cleanup today, but the County still hasn't picked up any of the hurricane trash.
It's starting to rot & smell, not a good situation.
