We made it through the maelstrom

No power or internet yet. I have a good size generator so it’s not a complete disaster.

Everyone in the family is safe. Now we just have to deal with the cleanup and repair work.

Posting from a Publix parking lot, no reception at my house. Probably won’t be able to respond to anyone.

Stay safe everyone.

Watched Milton approach friends and family in the Tampa area from my Keys floating home. Talked to all today and they are physically fine. No major structural issues with their homes, just tons of yard debris. Hope they get electric and connectivity back soon. They dodged a bullet.
Peace ☮️
