<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2538655, member: 77077&quot;]I live very close to the ocean in central Florida.&nbsp; I just got back home and my house and neighborhood survived with only trees down!&nbsp; I feel very lucky this time.&nbsp; We lucked out here in three ways: the storm weakened 25 mph or more through the eyewall replacement, the eye stayed 30 miles offshore, and it passed us at low tide.&nbsp; I spent all day with the chainsaw trying to clear up the yard.&nbsp; A very large palm tree ended up in my pool. </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel very bad for people elsewhere who suffered major damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the forecast was for 145 mph right through my town I went to Orlando.&nbsp; I have friends in Homestead who rode out hurricane Andrew.&nbsp; They were still terrified thinking about it 10 years later.&nbsp; Like being in a tornado that lasts 12 hours.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
