Now that we have daylight after the storm....
 
How did you fare in the storm?

We are in Mallory and have no damage at all with no accumulation of water in the street in front of our house. I estimate it will take about 5-10 minutes to rake up leaves on the property. We never lost power....not even a blip. I have no blinking clocks in the house.

Hope you are all safe and got through the storm OK.

We are in Bonnybrook and lost 2 of our trees but the house is fine and we still have power.

mic4me 09-11-2017 06:56 AM

We are in Dunedin and no problems. One neighbor had a bottlebrush snap

DanfromNC 09-11-2017 06:57 AM

In Dunedin we have no damage and still have power.

In Lake Deaton, lost part of the east facing roof

Thank you for the update. I appreciate knowing from neighbors how things look today.

aninjamom 09-11-2017 07:03 AM

Sabal Chase - We did not lose power, and only a couple of plants partially pulled out, we'll have to replant. No other damage.

tuccillo 09-11-2017 07:06 AM

A couple of our neighbors lost roofing shingles. Our retention pond reached a new height.

Bjeanj 09-11-2017 07:08 AM

In Santiago, we have water and power. No trees or bushes lost. Don't drain your tub water yet. Irma is due west of us right now.

Palm fronds lost, some plants damaged, but structurally no issue. No flooding. Still have power

BudVillager 09-11-2017 07:12 AM

We just bought a house in Spanish Springs in the Rio Ponderosa area, but haven't moved in yet. . Waiting to get a report from our neighbor, who left to stay in a Villa.

Does anybody know how that area did? I have some huge Oak trees on my property that I'm worried about.

Thanks,
Bud

RalphM 09-11-2017 07:16 AM

Buttonwood - I'm on Harding Path. Looking out my windows I can see no damage. No pooling water in the street. No loss of power (no clocks blinking).

kcrazorbackfan 09-11-2017 07:18 AM

In St. James. NO POWER OUTAGE! Thanks SECO! Debris everywhere. No damage to home. Lost one palm frond. That pond along Southern Star #4 is now a lake!!

Daisy 09-11-2017 07:19 AM

Historic side?
 
Does anyone know how things are on the Historic side?

tomwed 09-11-2017 07:27 AM

Doe's anyone know anything about Collier?

Sgroemm 09-11-2017 07:29 AM

SECO reads "power out" for my San Pedro Villa as of 8:30 am this morning.

Mleeja 09-11-2017 07:34 AM

Power is out in Summerhill

Enjoying Life 09-11-2017 07:35 AM

Historic side
 
Looking out our windows on Parker Pl. I can see no damage, just palms frones blowing g around. Still have lots of wind but still a beautiful day in The Villages.

chalpm 09-11-2017 07:41 AM

I'm in Collier and all is good. We never lost power or landscaping. House behind us lost few tall trees. Water was flowing down the street last night and pooling behind the houses...but all that isgone this morning.

kathyr59 09-11-2017 07:41 AM

Any word from the Spanish Springs area? We have a home near Chula Vista Rec Center.

We lost power at 1:15 AM in Silver Lake on the historic side.

Someone on another thread said power was lost in Silver Lake.
I'm concerned about our neighbors on the Historical side, how did the mobile homes survive?

socrafty 09-11-2017 07:46 AM

Just walked around our house in Alhambra, lost a piece of siding, one is loose. Looks like a few loose shingles on the roof also.

The sun will come out again tomorrow & it will all be as it ever was. This is the Villages! Glad everyone safe

Kelsie52 09-11-2017 08:00 AM

We live in Buttonwood --all is well here No visible damage to any homes in immediate area ---There is a 150 ft Oak tree down on the golf course ---Thankfully it fell away from the homes but it will take a good shot to make it to the green.

Remember to say Thank You !!

Thanks for all the replies about Buttonwood. Sounds like we may have dodged a bullet. Hope so for everyone in TV. Thanks again and take care!!

City of Lady Lake is great! Taking roof off of the street already this morning in Silver Lake

Where ever there are the majestic oaks there will be substantial debris and small branches and in general a mess.

The ones in our village are good examples of major debris field.

Branches across RAiney Trail blocking traffic in one direction.
One lane blocked on CR 117.

For the most part we/TV have been insignificantly affected VS what it could have been.

We all need to be thankful this morning!

Just heard from my daughter in Rio Ponderosa. They have no power and there are many branches down. I advised her not to go out till everything settles down

Pond on Charlotte Court nearly up to the level of the road Attachment 71341

Lark7 09-11-2017 08:47 AM

We have a house in the Village of Charlotte - anyone have any damage reports for that area?

We are so thankful that people are safe - it could have been so very much worse.

Was there much damage?

jojo 09-11-2017 08:54 AM

Our retention pond is practically in our lanai. It was a scary long night watching it rise. I hope someone has measurements of how much rain we had. Needless to say our rain gauge overflowed. I know we had 8 inches but obviously it was more.

I just drained my tub 5 minutes before I read your post. I also brought the temperature of the fridge and freezer back to the normal recommended temperatures.
