Well, it looks like the hurricane has past east of Plant City and hit Lakeland.

The evacuation of St.Pete/Tampa recommended heading east to Lakeland, oops, they headed directly into the storm.

The wind gusts hit about 40-50 mph and only minimal rain, damn, and I had drained the pool down 4", oh well, better than taking a direct hit from a still powerful hurricane.

BTW, the 3 teeners are parked off at the in-laws, which is further west than PC and came through without a scratch (that's a scratch caused from the hurricane).

Hey Qarl, get ready, it's heading your way.

Good luck and stay safe.

Qarl may have lost power.
Orlando reported 100 mph winds for a time.

stay safe guys!

I hope everyone & everything made it through ok.

We're OK. We actually recieved very little rain. But there are areas to the south and east of Tampa that got hammered. Mobile homes are everywhere in Florida and they can't handle 80-100 mph winds. There are reports that when it made land fall it had 145mph winds.

Fox News is showing alot of video of the damage.
