In a brilliant place!
I don't know if anybody lives near where the storm hit (all Florida TUSCLers that I can think of is from south Florida) but if you are I hope all is well! :)
Got something to say?

Barely any rain and a crisp breeze is all. As gammanu95 states. "The whole storm is being overhyped. It's a category one," Typical of Florida news. May be a bit bigger story in N. Florida, but for that storm here, I wouldn't even put up the shutters. Maybe store a little extra gas for the generator. Buy a couple of packs of batteries. Heck the Everglades are less than 4.5 miles away. If you know how, plenty to eat out there. :)

Just noticed last night by my home, my GPS said I was 15 feet BELOW sea level! That's about 7 times lower that new Orleans average. I am really in a bowl/hole.
In actuality, I am about 9 feet above. I guess elevation isn't very accurate on a GPS. Of course we are talking a few feet out of 22,236 miles.
I've scaled Mt.Britton Hill in the panhandle. It's over 1/15 of a mile high. Near Clermont
is Sugarloaf Mountain which I've also scaled at over 1/17 of a mile!
Been there, done that. The strangest day of my life was out there. It was July 31st, early to mid '70s, We were up in the park, VERY high up. Long's mountain I think, and it was above the trees. Cold! On the way down, SNOW. First time I ever saw it. Was quick, but it was enough to cover the ground and road. After we continued down, we end up at some lake and it is like 74 degrees! Incredible!
