Prayers for all in the path of Irma.

Same to you Ryan. So tired of the watch and wait. I want it to get the heck out of here. Best of luck to all our members affected by this beast.

Thinking of you & saying our prayers on your behalf.

What a monster of a hurricane this is. Here in eastern NC, many hundreds of miles north of FL, we have lots of clouds and some wind from the distant outer bands of Irma. And it isn't even headed our way, just such a huge storm. Tomorrow we get rain from it. All you in the path take care and check in here with all of us who care about you.

Thanks Elliot, I might need it. Still have power but they're saying the eyes going to be closer than expected to Orlando. Internet is gone so only on cell signal.

Everyone in the path of this storm please stay safe.

We made it through the storm with no damage and only lost power for 8 hours. Hope everyone else fared as well.

We made it pretty well. The eye came between us and Tampa so it was a pretty rocky road late Sunday through Monday. Some minor roof damage and a lot of tree debris but otherwise everything's fine. My parents are still with us. Their area was hit pretty hard but the house seems OK. Still no power for them or water. We got our power back the next day which was a blessing.

Glad to hear the damage your way was minimal overall, Pat, and that you've safely made it through, WITH POWER resumed almost right away ! That's a plus.

From what I read & hear, it's going to be a long haul before many Floridians' homes are remade livable & their lives get back to normal.

Thanks Paul, we were very lucky. There is still bad stuff happening like localized flooding as water moves down river so this is not over for some folks.
