A very large storm that created an unbelieve path of destruction. I have power at the Batcave but not at my house. I found a restaurant open today. No more canned salmon for me!!! Gas is scarce

Happy to hear that most of you came out of this okay for the most part. Hope the power gets fixed soon.

Also try adding a bunch of Tabasco Sauce to it. It will kill your taste buds so everything will taste better.
Glad to hear all my S FL friends faired well. Luckily my home in NW FL saw very little rain or winds this time. Usually this area gets the brunt of the hurricanes each year. Have gotten a lot of use out of my generator in the past. I was so happy when I saw it rapidly being reduced to a Tropical Storm as it headed north.

Well not good news last night from Big Pine Key (eye went over), My friends house, that we have visited every year for the last 10 or so, suffered damage. Lost about a third of the roof. He is making emergency plans to drive down from CT. Still no power, water, or cell coverage of any kind. Luckily pretty much everybody we know did obey the evacuation. Gonna be a while before that area is back on its feet.

Rolling window shutters (Fenster Rolladen auf Deutsch) are ubiquitous in Germany. I don't know why they aren't mandatory for new construction in hurricane prone areas. Don't need impact glass. Great for security too. Improves insulation. Should be good for an insurance discount.
I see them occasionally in the Miami area.

Use this NOAA site to view the damage. ZOOM in tight and you can all the keys in real time similar to Google Earth.

In spite of the fact that the strongest (N.E.) leading edge of the eye passed over my neighborhood, my home and cars did fine. However, my 40' dock washed away along with 10' of shoreline. I'm heading back as soon as diesel is available and power is restored to start reconstruction.

A huge thanks for the link. I am president of the Naples Boat Club, a mixed use commercial marina and residential facility. We have been without power or communication. I knew we sustained roof damage at our boathouse, but didn't know to what extent. The satellite images showed exactly how much and the extent of the damage. It looks like the structural beams are intact, a huge relief.
Where are you located? My boat was in Key Largo. My house in Palm Beach was fine.
