We dodged a bullet here in Stuart as the storm stayed offshore approx 60 miles. It's path had us nervous for awhile. Lost power for 4 days. Good thing my generator kept a beat! mostly tree debris.
The seas are still confused today.

Knowing the speed at which the city works around here, this could be a while.
Both ramps messed up. I don't know if it was the prayers,the high pressure, or the Fujiwharaing with Nicole, but we along the east coast of Florida pretty much dodged the big one.

I faired well myself, but there was a lot of flooding around here. Had a few roads wash out and several homes flooded. Edenton has a main street running right through the middle of town and at one spot where it is about 16' above sea level, there was 3 feet of water standing during the storm. Seen water in places I've never seen in my 55 years.

Did you have law enforcement credentials to access the beachside ? All bridges to the peninsula were closed both ways to even residents of the beachside at 6:00 PM Thursday.. Access was not granted to anyone until late Saturday afternoon ! I still have no land line or internet at Area 442.. Power was restored at 8:45 PM last night.. That was a challenge in it's self. We were land locked until Sunday afternoon before the county cleared the road where my road comes out ! House Generator (LP) consumed 500 lbs. Gas generator running the shop used 40 gallons. Had to keep freezer, beverages and ice maker good...  Will take a month to clean my patch of land up  Look close you will see a John Deere 9500 busting its way through a 30 foot wall of downed trees !! Free at last..  Had to post from my office... time to go home and treat poison Ivy all over !

We are about 18 ft ASL here which is high for the area. 28 ft one block west on High St. We had water in the yard for Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma. Wilma got us a new roof. Thanks Wilma you bitch. Got tarped out PDQ and lost little, but some blood. The neighborhood had tractor trailer size debris piles in front of every house after clean up. To understand just how lucky we are, watch footage of Haiti and the Bahamas. That is what a `Cane can do. Bermuda is about to get whacked.
