Figured I'd check in and see what's up... just got done bbq'ing our own coffee now that the wind is not quite as bad
Our house is in one piece although we do have someone else's screen porch in our back yard. Power is out pretty well everywhere...few pockets here and there with lights on but not many. Hopefully it wont take weeks to get it back as it's already hot and miserable... don't mind taking cold showers and heating stuff on the grill but the humidity is unbearable.
Our backroom got a ton of water blown in under the door... gawd I'm glad we didn't start doing any remodeling work! Was going to replace carpet and everything anyway so not a big deal.. just messy.
From what I've heard on the radio, officials are very pleased that the barrier islands aren't in too bad of shape. Not very many people (including us) evacuated even tho a mandatory order was in effect.
One final note... this board takes freaking forever to load on dial up!
