Wow. That was the WORST hurricane I've been in. It went over us, and we lost 3 BIG limbs from the big tree in front. In the Eye, we all went out, and found that next door, a huge tree is SPLIT down the middle, but hasn't fallen over. 3 Houses across from us lost loads of roof shingles, and more stuff.. at the end of the road, a firetruck was blocking the main road because a HUGE ass old elm fell across the road. Some moron was trying to drive under the tree in his van, I have it all on tape. Making THIS video available today..

Very scary this time... CONSTANT gusts of 80-90mph for 4 hours... we shut down the server and pc until it was all over, because power blinked and dimmed all day. Never lost it, which IMO is a miracle.

Well, lets hope this was the last one. I'd say you guys had enough for the remainder of the decade.

Sounds like a big storm I am glad things are all right.

All makes sense now why IW was down.

Glad to hear you made it through safely, Ziroc. And having seen some of the images from FLorida this morning, I'm impressed to find the boards up [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow! I was wondering if you were one of the million they say is without power now. Glad you're all ok other than some poor trees being ripped apart!
