Sorry, have been offline the last couple of days.

We are fine, thanks for all the worry :)

They hit to the left of us, below us and above us right across the
river. We had lots of rain, lots of wind knocking down trees,
branches, etc., but no house/structure damage ... just lots and lots
of clean up :) We do have friends across the river near Deland who
lost everything who will be staying with us until they figure out what
is what. As I just told somebody over at MTD ... since the last 4
years of what seems like nonstop storms, most folks here pretty much
have generators, tarps, tents, food, water on permanent standby
anymore, including a lot of our lower income folks in this area since
we seem to be the central corridor for tornados the last 2 years or
so.

I know it sounds odd, but for the most part folks around here have
sort of learned to just take it in stride and set about cleaning up
without waiting around on the feds, the state, or private insurance
(pretty much nonexistant for most of us in this area anyway since they
started dropping folks like hot cakes the year we had 4 hurricanes in
a row!). This time will probably be even harder since we were told
when the tornados that hit on Christmas that there was simply no more
disaster fund money left to help out in our area at all, and I did
hear that the Red Cross was claiming they only had $40,000 total, for
the whole state, and were begging for donations. Something I saw on
the news last night said we could probably expect at least 3 more of
these bad storm outbreaks between now and April when they think the El
Nino stuff will fizzle out ... not something I am looking forward to I
can darn sure tell ya!

No, Nae is across the state from me, in Sanford (I think that's between
Orlando and Daytona). I'm the one actually an hour south of Sarasota and
Venice. I hear (I think through Julie) that some of her neighbors are
hurting, but she's okay. So many people giving her a shout out and no
reply--I was starting to worry!

Barb, glad you're okay. I believe Nae is in the Sarasota area.
