Thank god it passed now, 12 hours without electric was a bummer. But it was a fun roller coaster ride.

Irma is gone, Looks terrible outside but those 125mph winds were crazy. 12 hours without electric was worse part. Georgia will only get hit with a category 1 hurricane
They're lucky that they didn't get the worst of the storm, like the people in Puerto Rico did, and where you're at.
I live in an upstairs apartment, and luckily for me, I didn't even lose my power or Internet during Harvey.I lucked out, I'm on 5 acres in the middle of the woods. This house only 2 months old, Can't even see it from the road. But I have trees like 100ft high, None snapped that worried me. Before this house I lived waterfront 5 miles away I gave up living on the water as I sold the boats etc and fishing didn't interest me much anymore. I have seen in the past ppl house roofs come off. That if happens destroys everything you own. I thought about that to, Starting over from scratch would be terrible and I seen pics online what hurricanes can do in Miami even though i'm 350 miles away from there and on the west coast. I didn't put a Generac backup generator in this house but even if I did the hurricane knocked out the cable company but I at least could of watched movies. The electric company said 3 days but I had electric back in 12 hours. Camping gear cooked my breakfast.

The bad news was for 5 days, I couldn't go anywhere, because of all the heavy rains and flooding. I can't imagine what it's like for parents of children (especially young children) going through something like a Hurricane or Tropical Storm. I've been through a bunch of Winter Blizzards and tornadoes growing up the Midwestern US, but a Hurricane or Tropical Storm is another matter altogether.
Or maybe hit head on by a category 5 in St. Maarten like Redfox1 was.........They're lucky that they didn't get the worst of the storm, like the people in Puerto Rico did, and where you're at.
This is the second time in 2 years that I have been overwhelmed by a hurricane, this time I was lucky and got out a week before it hit, but flood and hurricane insurance in St Maarten is so expensive only the really rich can afford, luckily last year I was helped by a very nice person, I am a senior citizen, this is taking its toll on me.Or maybe hit head on by a category 5 in St. Maarten like Redfox1 was.........
I feel for you, RedFox 1, because even with the crap that's going on in my neck of the woods, and in Florida, I can still do some stuff to get things done, but most people won't be able to endure this disaster stuff forever.This is the second time in 2 years that I have been overwhelmed by a hurricane, this time I was lucky and got out a week before it hit, but flood and hurricane insurance in St Maarten is so expensive only the really rich can afford, luckily last year I was helped by a very nice person, I am a senior citizen, this is taking its toll on me.
