Folks in the Florida/gulf area: stay safe. We're thinking of you.
We are good here. The panhandle is the area that's being devastated.
Good thing for you Paul. Devastating storm.
Safe here in Gainesville. Moms in Tallahassee with nephew. Offered them to stay here but they were all stocked up and hunkered down. They had much wind and rain and a tree fell and crushed the neighbors roof. Neighbor is staying with mom. They have no power and could be days before it is hooked back up. Power trucks are heading that way. Mexico Beach and Pensacola Beach got slammed. Photos are just starting to appear. The storm grew fast and was just 1mph below cat 5 when it landed. Everyone was expecting a cat 3 and were surprised when we woke yesterday morning. I think it caught a lot of people off guard. Only good thing is it quickly moved inland. No deaths reported yet.
