But there was one fatality. Apparently a woman was driving around in Tampa yesterday during the hurricane and a street sign fell on her, which allowed the "News" to add the word "deadly" to "unsurvivable" and "catastrophic".
Thankfully, there was a silver lining to all this death and destruction. My kids saw the "news" and called to make sure we were OK!

Instead of being sarcastic it might be more appropriate to be thankful that the storm didn't do much here. Other places were not so lucky. The Villages is one of, if not the best place to be in Florida during hurricanes. I would rather over prepare and not need it rather than the other way around.
