Ouch...looks like your place took a thrashing Cleo

All is fine over on this side...landfall was about 100 miles south of us. Lost one of my small banana trees...lots of small branches down in the yard...and overloaded my septic drain field for a bit. Don't think we got anything over 60 or 70 mph winds.

Have never seen the canal behind my house so high...we now have hydrila(sp) 15 feet up on the bank. Water is receeding, septic field seems to be draining again...all is well. Rain added a solid 6 inches of water to the pool over the course of a few hours.

Oh, and while it hiccuped a few times...we never fully lost power.

I'll be up on the roof tomorrow re-clearing all the gutters that are now filled with leaves and crap again.

Glad everyone is checking in safe and sound
