Hi folks,
thanks for all the kind thoughts. My family is OK - which is the first priority.
Just got electricity back today, some will be another week without power. the house has some damages...not sure if we need a new roof or it can be patched. water stains on the ceilings, bugs invaded, etc.
The landscaping took it in the shorts. we have tree in the front yard that looks like it's wintertime - no leaves left. lots of broken branches (on one tree all the branches on the east side are gone).
Kennedy space center reported the highest gusts of the storm at 124mph.
the SVX stayed in my garage through the storm with no issues. Took the wife's 4Runner to Orlando to ride out the storm....Solar, didn't even try to look you up, too much stuff blowing int he wind, plus with two kids, a handicapped sister, dog, etc...
In the final analysis, there's good things and bad things about living on a barrier island - but enough good that we'll stay - happily, it looks like Ivan will be leaving us alone on this round.
