We are safe but we endured 24 hours without electricity. The winds were very strong and rain came in waves for several hours as the storm passed on north past the Tampa Bay. There was still lots of damage in this area even with the storm about 100 miles out to sea. It was a huge storm with powerful winds.
The metal roof over cars in one parking area blew off and landed in our front yard and blocks out sidewalk. But no cars were damaged. It just blew off and part of it is standing up neatly near the trees. We have limbs and debris all over the yard but our lawn service will probably have it cleaned up next week.
We felt safe in this condo The only evacuations were for mobile homes, campers and the manufactures homes which are mostly house trailers on a foundation. No one in our building left. People along the waterfront had to evacuate due to an 8' storm surge in this area.
Today, without power, Ron and I took a 30 minute walk, put a puzzle together and played a game of scrabble. We took it easy since we were not pushed to work on the computer. We needed the rest anyway. We will be back on schedule next week.
Many people checked on us. God is good and we are safe.
Thank you so much!
