I kerpoofed around 1 am. no power for most of my town. I got mine back. My college has no power but they refuse to cancel classes...assholios, will decide soon they say. Mean time the weather is still whipping and I am not looking forward to driving in it.

We made it we are still alive. THis one hit us hard :trout: 70 to 90 mph winds for over 24 hours, Lost 2 big trees in the back yard one hit the house the other one missed the house by 10 feet. the roof has several holes, hope it dont rain. The car got damaged by falling limbs. But we are ok thank you all for caring. And a big thanks to IWM for letting you all know we where ok.

Jeanne’s path and locations of members

here's to wishing for calm skies in the south east for the rest of autumn. :cheers:

I am on (due to borrowed generator power) and having fun looking through. My family is ok. The house has some damage. The detached garage is leaning and had the doors ripped off. My little potting shed (screened in room) is gone. I lost about 4 more citrus trees and the trees still standing lost most of their fruit.

My husband has been working working helping lots of people around here to secure holes in roofs etc. We are in Highlands County and have been told we had winds up to 120 mph. As of 7:30 this morning it was reported that 38,000 people are still without power. Schools here are closed and hope to open Thursday.

There is lots of good humor here. People are helping each other and are being real giving. We are blessed because we have a gas water heater so I have been having people coming just to take a warm bath.

*Huggers* to all the storm ravaged Pixie's!!!!!!!!

What a relief to know that, although there has been alot of damage, our Pixies and their families are uninjured! I hope and pray that this is the end of it for you folks.


PF... I've never lived in snow and have always wondered just how snow blowers work. Thank you for clearing up the mystery for me :wave:

Would someone please smack me if I decide to plan a trip to Disney in September again??? I was in Orlando with the family last week and returned home yesterday evening. On Friday, I decided to pack up the family and head to Clearwater on Saturday morning to stay with some family. Made sense since the storm was supposed to head up the east coast.

Apparently, I'm a hurricane magnet. LOL. We survived the storm. My 4 year old didn't really know what was going on. She was just upset that the power was out and she couldn't watch videos. lol (We bought a couple of newspapers for her to look at when she gets older and see what was really going on).

Anyway, I was able to witness a lesser impact of a hurricane and can't imagine what it was like on the east coast. My thoughts are with you crazy kids that deal with this. *hugs*

Jacksonville was spared the worst of it, again. Can't help but wonder when our number will be up, as we've missed the worst of most every hurricane for decades now.

Still, a darkened house, candles, an old hand-crank Victrola, and lots of intoxicants means a fun night.

well I am finally back, power has been out since Sunday, just got it back late last night, Then to top it off I had no internet, cable or telephone as I have all of those through the cable company and they hadnt gotten to my area yet. Then I decided last night to clean my fridge out of all the spoiled food and just when I was good and nasty I went to wash up and I had no water the water cut out last night and didn't come back on til this morning. Good thing I bought all those gallons of water.
I am so over this hurricane season, I just would like it all to go now and not come back again.
