It was an intense storm, but for us, Wilma was way worse. Lost much of my landscaping, but house is fine. Power was out from Sunday Morning until late last night (Thursday).

They were giving pretty dire predictions on local news here and seemed to give us little chance of getting anything short of the brunt of a full Cat 4 Hurricane. Instead, we got mostly Tropical Storm Force with Cat 1 wind gusts. Still lots of lights out and debris from broken/fallen trees everywhere, but so grateful, for us, the forecasts were way off. Feel terrible about the Caribbean Islands and the Keys and looking into what I can do to help.
