As if the Boob Tube hasn't been obsessed by this CAT 5 to 1 hurricane, comes along this Member in its direct path.

I'm still standing. I can't tell how much is damaged by its passing, but it is earily calm, not raining here and the eye has just passed. There has been a tremendous rainfall. I slept through the NW and SW wind shear as the track of the eye passed about 4-miles North.

One tornado ripped bank in Cocoa Beach will become Legend. Dodged a bullet here I think.

Good to hear you dodged the bullet on this one.

Way back in '58 we lived in Haines City for about a year or so. No hurricanes that year but there was a freeze all the way that far south. I remember watching on TV as dump truck loads of frozen citrus were being fed to the cattle.

I think this one, Milton must have hit my old home there kinda hard from what I've seen on the maps.
