Great to hear. Likely you were North of St Catherine ? Do you have Leesburg for power too? I’m curious as to why half of St. Catherine got hit and half was fine?

Short answer for me is "NO".

That's a good question. We should ask everyone who answers: who their power supplier is? did they lose internet? who is the internet provider? did they lose water? who is the water provider? & the same questions to everyone who answers that they didn't loose anything,

In response to your question I will say - No

I am in the Hacienda area using Duke Energy, we had a couple of flickers but didn't even have to reset the clocks. Did loose cable including phone and TV with Outcast (Comcast) for about 20 hours.

Here in Fernandina we had a few flickers, but no outages. Thanks for the buried utilities.

Buried utilities have very little to do with it. Most areas that lost power also had buried utilities.

My mother-in-law in Tampa Bay totally lost power...and is being told by the power company that it will be Wednesday or Thursday before it's restored.

When Irma passed by, courses were shut for over 5 months, and when they reopened, only left-handed players were allowed to play for the first few weeks, then righties were allowed, in an increment of ten additional players a day.
Lot more water this time!
