Roof damage. I walked out and try to pick up whatever l could. It was intense. I turned into a soggy furball 2 legged meltdown. I am dealing with vandalism from a neighbor across the street. He loosen a lot of screws on things on the outside of my home. But his palm tree fell over and is blocking the street and on my lawn. At least it didn't hurt anyone.

One hour ago, there was 2 million without electric in Florida.
We only lost power briefly today where I live.
Tampa Bay was on the side of the hurricane that actually emptied the bay out.
While Fort Myers, where eye came ashore, had 18 feet of water.
Everything is locked down in Clearwater.
Damage assessments will begin at daybreak.

I've seen some amazing videos on news sites, unbelievable amounts of water. And how much water got sucked out of Tampa Bay is a good measure of just how big that storm really is.
Glad to hear you're looking like you might be in the clear, just a bit of a waiting game until the end of it now I hope.

What a relief. I went thru tons of semi-sweet chocolate. Made two distress phone calls, and talked to a friend about her on again, off again guy who actually sounds autistic. I even wonder about her.
Today, companies aren't really up and rolling, trying to get repairs rolling is like trying to teach a ant to do circus tricks. Just ain't happening.

Sanibel and Fort Meyers were such pretty places--now gone.
Today was spent just trying to work through the debris to rescue people.
Twelve found dead so far in state.
We were so lucky in the area of Clearwater where we live.
Heavy rain, but no flooding. Only one small damage to house.
A storage shed was blown over and fell apart.
No power outage in this area. Perhaps there will be stores opening today
and some fresh food.

Tomorrow is the first person coming to bid on my roof. My water is back on. My electricity stayed on. A overhang blew off, so it leaves me with asking a handyman to fix. So l will be dealing with strangers which l really hate. It sucks. I will just mention my boyfriend alot and call him, so the repair person can hear his voice. Yuck yuck yuck 
I read that there are 42 000 linemen responding to the crisis in Florida. Respect to the linemen.
There is a everything shortage. The roof person said that there is an aluminum shortage.My carport is aluminum. In Florida, there is a shortage of good workmen also. So it is with great fear l now move into house repair area knowing the odds are stacked against me.
I lost power 8:30 am on the 28th and just got it back. I’m okay and the house is okay and for that I am grateful.
The eye of the hurricane passed near us, and winds were hurricane strength. I was huddled under the table in the main room where the roof is strongest for the couple hours of the worst winds. I could feel the house shake when the heavy gusts hit.
We lost a lot of trees and a huge chest freezer full of food. Debris all over the place. Some of my fruit trees were blown over. Garden plants took a hit.
The day after, I was clearing the downed trees and limbs from our mile long access road.
But for others, it is a real disaster. Many people had no flood insurance, because it is way too expensive. There are lots of working class people living on the barrier islands in old Florida type neighborhoods and trailer parks. These people have lost everything.
I work with some of these people. One of my employees has roof damage. It is overwhelming.

I’m sorry for the damage done to your house.

As I am sure you know, Florida is a hotbed of conmen, especially after a hurricane.
Hello Floridians. I am well north of you, up in New England, but thinking of you all now. I hope people are finding the strength, resources, and support needed as you try to rebuild, lives homes, and communities.
By the time these hurricanes get all the way up to where I am, they are mere rain storms, as if the skies are crying quiet tears for all the damage they have done in the destruction they have caused. Mother Nature comes to the North and cries with regret for hurting you all and I am crying for you too.
Stay strong, Florida Folks

I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.
