There was quite a bit of shingle debris on lawns here in the Historic area. A pipe had opened up or sprung a leak between two properties near the edge of the road, and water was flowing (not hard, just steadily) down a decline of the yard into their driveway and then back out to the side of their house.

Meanwhile down the same block, Kiley and Lauren were flooded. It was hard to tell how badly, but I think by the time I was able to take a look, it had gone down to around 8 inches over the pavement.

One guy had a sliding 3-panel door covering his carport, and one of the panels had been pushed inward and was leaning up against his car. Another guy apparently had walled up his carport on the sides and made it look like a normal garage. But the wall was clearly not secured to anything, because it was tilting inward - but fully intact, including the side door built into the wall.

Some awnings were down on peoples' yards. We finally got our internet back this morning, but our side of the street never lost power. The other side was out from midnight til at least yesterday mid-day, I haven't checked to see if they're back up yet.

The tower is still up at Orange Blossom CC, and I haven't checked anything further than the Boone Gate.
