Not Crazy, just some numb-nut screwed up on the wind speeds, and this was just a minimal category 3 hurricane, then jumped to 145 mph winds in minutes. No longer any time to do anything except hope for the best. Its enough that we have had 3 bands pass over, and I'm still online which means I have power and telephone still B)

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

Nope, didn't have crap when you sent that reply. I just got my power back 10 minutes ago. Damage to my house was cosmetic, just a few missing shingles, a tree in my backyard that fell, and a few sections of our privacy fence. I ventured out and about the community here as soon as the winds died down, and considered to most, we were extremely lucky. The whole county of Osceola looks like a tornado hit it. There are areas that will be without power for several more days.

Glad to hear you and your familly are safe!
Now is the time for the dumb "I-don't-live-in-North-America" question...
Why is it that concrete houses are so scarce in the regions regularly ravaged by storm, tornadoes and suchlike? I mean its not the first time tha states aroung the gulf are hit pretty bad...

I would imagine it is about ones income. Because I grew up in St. Petersburg, I am all too familiar with hurricanes. with certainty, I can tell you I will never live in a manufactured home. I have seen no damage at all to the structures of the cinder block homes we have out here, only damage to the wooden roofs, and metal sidings.

the quote should have been " only just" which was showing that the storm was begining to take its toll Besides, I heard some women on the radio yesterday, when most of 5 counties were without power, complaining cause she didn't have internet. ( she hadn't lost power at all )
