First off .. we’re alive, mom and dad’s house has power, clean water, cable, phone and dsl all restored by 7pm today (power was on midnight Tues/Weds) .. we feel SOOOO lucky!
Mom and dad lost their pool screen structure, a ton of huge tree branches, and their fence .. but the house and roof are fine, thank god. Overall they made out well (the insurance deductible aside).
The condo is perfect, patio screens fine, though all the trees are down or bare, some neighbors lost their screens, some lost windows, I feel very lucky there as well. No power, the water didn’t work Monday .. and Wednesday when we checked it out .. I was told not to use the water because the water in the lower units was backing up and some residents were being flooded .. sucks. Looks like I’ll be at mom and dads for a while.
Got tons of pics and videos .. I’m uploading about 170 pictures right now that I’ll put on the server and I’ll take the time to organize and rename them when I’m bored tomorrow (not much else to do) .. hope everybody else made it though alright, everybody who I’ve checked in on has been okay

I looked through all your pix. Wow! I am sad to see such destruction of our hometowns. I am so happy you and your family (and homes) are safe!!!
Do you know if ‘my’ tree is still standing? My mom fought (with petitions) to save her favorite tree (very old) from being demolished during the Griffin Rd Widening project. It’s right at the end of our street (on Griffin, just before SW 130th Ave) http://www.mirdonamy.com/photo.php?albumName=travel&cat=fl&subcat=flswr&index=7409 the big tree in the center here. If you drive by at some point, let me know! I wonder how Town Hall held up. It is a trailer. Eeek. This is so scary and sad
