No damage to your home (homes) or cars, including the ghost white Vantage in your avatar, fantastic!

Tell me, do you think Irma's inland shift also spared Siesta Key? (My winter vacation hide out.)

Siesta should be fine. Tree derbies, fallen tree's and missing electricity is the infra challenge this week. I had to park the X5 for now since there is close to no gas and even less Diesel available.

Yes, we got so lucky in the Tampa bay area that Irma took an unexpected turn.

Damn. That's bad luck. Sorry to hear that.

I was so impressed on my drive back, seeing mile long rows of electricity, pole and Army trucks.

Speaking of that, I just got scammed a few minutes ago. Went to the gas station and a guy came up to me and told me the story he ran out of gas and forgot his wallet in the car.
I could relate to that and gave him 5 bucks..

A few minutes later I see him asking the same question to a lady coming out of a store next to the gas station.

One of our friends had a foot of water in his home a lost two cars. Hope everyone on the forum came through with out damage.

Jax and this area was hit pretty hard. We saw houses where only the roof was out of the water in jax. The prayers and probably my grandma's candles helped. (she called and said she already fired up 3 candles for us Saturday)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I didn't had any time to to handle, this was rather surviving reaction driving through the night.

Several of my friends and family like most Floridians headed to Atl.
My prediction was that they all need to get back after the storm what will cause a challenge and headed north east
