I live in the Hampton Villas. Never lost power. No damage. Lost a palm frond. Walked through the neighborhood. Saw no structural damage. A couple bottlebrush trees with skinny trunks were lost. Thank you SECO!

In Gilchrist and no damage or any loss of power.

Lake behind our house is scary high and worriesome.

We were lucky.

In the Queen Palms part of Buttonwood some houses had some shingle damage and the golf course is now a lake. Never lost power over all we did fine.

In Pinellas Cedar Grove.....we are a small circle and 7 of our houses had roof damage and shingle loss. We did have power all night which was a blessing while listening to the roofing fly off! The golf courses in our area are pretty much completely under water but the streets were fine! Greenery was all fine and just a few screens with damage from the shingles flying.

Anyone from Fernandina close to the pool?

As I read all the posts about TV today...........the good, the bad, the ugly: I think we are all Blessed. No loss of life. No major injuries. The sun came up today (not fully in sight) and we live in the most beautiful place in the world.

A lot to be thankful for.

Lots of good neighbors helping each other.

Blessed.

Agreed and well said dewilson!

Reading all of the posts. All things considered it seems like for the most part no significant damage in most areas and no major injuries reported. Very thankful, could have been a lot worse. Haven't heard from our village of Osceola Hills so hoping same report for our home away from home. Take care all!

Amen. No damage in our Village. Very fortunate.

This thread is a good example of reverse adverse selection. If you haven't lost power, you can post the good news. But, if you have no power, you probably cannot post the bad news. So, you get mostly good news on the thread.

Some roof damage in Charlotte along Morse areas. Where is your house?

Any idea how the country club golf courses fared?

Yesterday morning, I let several neighbors use my Verizon cell phone because they had no at&t service. They had not had service since the day before.

Not too bad
 
Here in Sanibel our house did well. Just some screen from the pool cage broke loose at the bottom and ripped about 3 ". Will replace it. Our neighbors on either side......one had a limb break off a tree and the other had an oak uproot. Lots of debris from the golf course palms all over. I consider myself very lucky. It's good to see the sun shine!!

I saw photos on social media of some of the golf courses with water on the fairways yesterday. It appeared much of the water was from the ponds on the course. Given the amount of rain that should be expected. :D
