Power out in Largo. Seminole power station blew at 102nd ave. supposedly Seminole got it pretty bad here in Pinellas. Sight-seers are rolling thru, men in pickup trucks who do not live here. Probably looking to steal generators from front porches. I can see three generators from my porch. Put that shit on the BACK porch! |

Was like watching lightning lastnight. The sky was lighting up so much all the transformers blowing. Still managed to hang on to power though until 11pm lastnight.

Lake Wales has large areas of power out. Trees down everywhere. Fences destroyed. Some roof damage but over all pretty minor clean up stuff. Hwy 60 shut down with detours when I was out checking livestock an hour ago. We have gas and water so we have coffee.  Next door has power. We are good.

I'm starting to see Fakebook posts by roofers saying that even if you don't see shingle damage you should call your insurance company and have your roof inspected. Any honest roofers here that can weigh in on this? To me this reeks of a ploy to get cheap insurance company money based on fear mongering, but I'm not a roofer/contractor. I also did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Still here in west Cocoa, we started running calls again an hour before daybreak.
Generator was down all night, no power, county got a tech out around noon, low on coolant, so it shut itself down. We could have unscrewed the radiator cap and the rain would have given us lights and AC 
Overall good shape in Cocoa, limbs and trees, almost no structural damage. They've lost water mains , projected weeks for repair, I know three Hospitals are evacuating and shutting down because of the water. And no power yet |

Port St. Lucie (Treasure Coast) checking in.
We got very lucky. about 80-90% of the county is without power. However, we have power, no flooding, and no damage whatsoever to the house. Just a couple downed tree limbs in the yard. Even our screens on the porch are ok. God Blessed and Protected us mightily. I know others are not so lucky, my family is very thankful that we are ok. Especially my 4 year old son, and three month old son. |

Wimauma here. All good. Never lost power-dipped a few times but held. Only damage is a ripped screen panel on lanai roof. Great coverage all night on Bay News 9. Couldn't watch the idiots on the Weather Channel any more.
I dropped temp in house to 63 degrees anticipating a power outage. I'm glad I didn't have to see how long the house would remain cool when power went out. Best Wishes to all that weren't as fortunate. |

I feel very fortunate. I am in DTSP and never lost power. Never lost internet. Fence and limb damage but that's it.
I literally know nobody with power except me. Not a single person or family member or coworker has power from St Pete to Ft Lauderdale. Even most of my street is out thanks to a big ass oak tree taking out a pole. So lucky. |

Southern end of clay county.....
Slept through the storm... Woke up a few times during the night when the power was flickering causing the damn stove timer to beep.... 
Lot's of downed limbs and a small vine covered tree blocking the drive, but can still gain access... Lost power right at 9:11AM and came back on at 5:30ish.... No damage to the home that I know of... Didn't inspect the roof as I had to report to the station to give some relief to the guys that ran all night. While I have ample stored foods, water and other preparedness related gear... The wife has added a few things to the acquire list... One being a generator!  And I'm getting a SAT phone! Lost cell service and it's still intermittent now... Also house phones are via the cable/dishnetwork... Was completely phone less for most of the day.
I've rested on my laurels long enough. Glad everyone made it through okay. |

Tavares here. No damage to my house except some plants didnt make it. Took down all my plywood today and cleaned up. Neighbor lost a bunch of shingles but we never lost power. The older side of the neighborhood lost a lot of big trees and a lot of fences are down. My parents in casselberry still dont have power but have a generator.

Wellington, Forest Hill and the Turnpike checking in - power failed 6:30 am Sunday (9/10); cable, internet failed 6:00 pm Sunday. Cell phone had no problems with this storm or afterwards. Everything came back last night (Monday) @ ~ 9:00 pm. Conditions back to normal.
Ran my 12 year old 6,200 watt Briggs & Stratton gen continuously for the entire duration of the outage (~38 hours). It started on the first pull (like always) and ran flawlessly. Ran "the essentials" in my whole house and was even able to start/run the 1 ton central A/C unit that cools my master suite (bedroom, bathroom, 2 closets). Stay safe... - R - |

Reports on Facebook of looters in my AO, if you can believe Facebook people. Edit to add ...Cell service was slim to none but it's back just now.
