We were in the cross hairs this time. Much difference between a "Cat2" and a "Cat3" around here. Trees were pruned for Frances, houses pruned for Jeanne. We missed flooding by 2" thanks to the surge coming ashore at low tide. Otherwise it would have been 3' in the house since we live on the Indian River. Trees gone and boat up on the seawall. We are dry and have power. Dish was OK so the TV works. Only thing not good is we are running short of beer since they are not allowing it to be sold. Starting to work on my 20 year old scotch. Small sacrifice considering what everyone else is dealing with. We had 122 mph winds sustained here and we were right on the eye wall. House built like a bomb shelter...back to cleaning debris. it feels like Groundhog Day...I hope everyone survived...george
