Thanks everybody! We were very blessed in my town, Lighthouse Point. We had the strong southern bands go over us for a long time, lots of rain. Looking out of our one unshuttered window (small on in a door) we could see the trees bending and lots of aqua blue electrical flashes.
Fortunately all of those prayers worked! We had power throughout the night (and still do) and nothing was damaged. Our county alone had 59,000 people lose power. Our prayers are with those to the North and West, Jeanne did a job up there. Jerry, Scott, others, y'all okay?

We are praying for all our friends on the east coast. Jimi Ft. Lauderdale, FL - 30 -40 mph winds outside right now, rain's going sideways. A little tough to backcast. Somebody named Jeanne is visiting our state. Still have power!! Provided we have light (plywood over all the windows makes an amazing simulation of a cave) I should get caught up on some swaps! My daughter's calling, back to "dora the explorer". What will we do without dora if we lose power!?!?!?!? Yikes! I "shutter" to think. Good luck Jerry, Ginger, Scott & the other Floridians! I think you guys are supposed to get the worst of it (again). Y'all are in my prayers (and there's plenty of praying going on around here!).
