That was quite a storm yesterday. After reading the post, Steph texted, "Are you 3 OK?" Yes, we're fine. Inside the house, it was a non-event. Looking out the windows and seeing the palm trees bend and the rain blowing sideways showed what Mother Nature was up to.
At least two boats got loose in our canals; one is aground in the lake area (essentially a wide spot that has been dredged out at the south side of the development, and another got snagged by a good samaritan before it blew out into the Intracoastal.
Riding my bicycle around this morning (still cool and windy), I had to dodge palm branches that were down in the street, lots of big puddles, and the occasional shingle. Some damage to park homes with car ports and skirting...
We walked around our place as soon as the storm let up - no damage. The tide was high at the worst of the storm. I heard the water got above the seawall in the lowest parts of the island, but I didn't see an effects of that. It got up to the second step on the lowest part of our dock, so still a couple feet from the top of our seawall.
We watch the incoming weather on radar before it got here. Joan took down our flag and put the cover on the patio furniture. That was about it for our "pre-storm prep."
Rufus did fine with the commotion going on outside. He sat on my lap during the worst of it, and lifted his head up when bits of branches hit the north side of the house.
All good here.

Glad to hear that you weathered the storm OK. And that Rufus was cool with it too.
Thanks, Earl. There was a moment or two when the furry boy did a "head snap" when we heard a few pings on the side of the house. All good.
