Power has flickered 3 times, never gone all the way out.

Cable on the other hand has been out for over 5 hours now...first world problems  8)

How will you see the new season of dancing with the stars now?!

Shockingly our old fence and all our screen is still intact but I don't expect that to last.

My fence is about 4yrs old...15" of rain and 90mph gusts just pushed her over...my ghetto tin shed on the other hand is still intact.

Go figure

cell towers must be down, can't upload the video…will upload tomorrow.

those wind gusts really tossed around the element…we were outside charging up all the cell phones and iPad.  Jake called the element like being in a Universal ride simulator  :P

stay strong, westside...

Kicking pretty good in Fishhawk (Tampa) right now. Still have power/internet, everything looks good from our security cameras, fortunately most of our neighbors picked up everything that was not tied down and we are not allowed to have sheds or privacy fences so not too many missiles  :D

Figure the worst will be past in a hour or so.

Still no cable/internet, thanks t-mobile for free data since I burned thru my 6gb just yesterday streaming news. Never lost power which is a miracle around here. Trees are pranged, fence needs pulling back upright and something looks odd with my shingles but I'm not climbing on the roof right now...all in all not bad for a storm like that.

Center of eye passed about 5 miles east of here at a cat 2. Never lost power/internet, no trees down or flooding, beer is still cold :)

We had some power flickers, but never lost it.  There is a little water damage in out daughter's room, but nowhere else.

Cellular phones are in and out, which sucks.
