Stayed at my Mother in laws but lost cable friday at 8pm lost power early Saturday morning. I the Day got progressively worse and had 60 to 90 mph winds. No damage at her house. went by my hous and had to wind down many streets due to large trees blocking the streets. When I got to my house it didn't look to bad until I went around back. This huge tree fell over and crushed my pool screen enclosure. I knew all along this tree was going to go. All of us are ok and the boat too

Jorge, Good to hear no one got hurt - that tree looks cantankerous.

Massive ficus fell on laundry room roof
Mahogany limb on house roof
Those wind speeds reported were wrong
Mahogany won't snap easily
Tababaoula limb on roof
Main power feed down
Service head bent over
Huge hole under ficus roots
Back yard is a crater
Coconut palm just missed the truck which I parked
back 6 ft.

Thanks spidey sense.
What a mess

We bugged out of Sarasota for Gainesville when it looked like a 4 coming over our heads. Boat is in an rv storage in Ocala, no power so I couldn't get it out. I came home today, no issues here, did not even rip the lanai screens, Power came on about an hour ago; Karen comes home tomorrow. Feel very lucky and very blessed.

it was really odd watching the eye ( or what was left of it) go up the west coast, while all the crazy weather went up the east coast. The eye passed about 20 miles west of Gainesville, minimal wind, while Jacksonville was getting pounded with 80 mph gusts.

Seems like the 12:00 - 3:00 quadrant is always the fiercest around the eye.
100 miles west of where it went would be a whole different story. The entire west coast of Florida would look like Big Pine Key.
Look at the bright side of things Conner, your boat is well positioned for the Homasassa Gathering.

Definitely a strange storm. Watched rainbands on radar and had gusts around 80 with the heavier rains. Around midnight here I noticed that the lower half of the storm had almost no rain and the last of the heavy rains were past us. Went to bed and all heck broke loose. Tree branches snapping off and hitting ground and a couple landed on the roof. The winds were howling at about 100 and we were a long way from the center. Fence was crushed and lost some shingles, but boat just filled with leaves.

We didnt get any damage here, and my Seacraft was safe and sound in the backyard!

Makes sense Ron.....
Same thing here around 1:00 AM
With you and I about 70 miles apart !!
Had those gusts over a hundred till around 3-4 AM
Dogs barking every time something bounced off the roof...
No way to sleep with that going on.
More concerned with the 9.14 inches of rain running down hill washing
my private road out..

Generac still running, going through 100 lbs a day !!!
