Hi Diane,
Thank you so much. Please let everyone know that we have come out of this with no damage to any homes. We were without power on Tuesday from about 3:00 until about 6:30, but it was restored without incident.
There is much debris (pine needles, pine cones) in the roadways, but no trees down, and all roads are certainly passable. We are still getting some wind and rain (it's 1:40 p.m. on Wednesday), which are going to last until sometime late tonight/tomorrow morning, but nothing to worry about.
There was a huge amount of flooding in St. Lucie, Martin, and Okeechobee counties, and Barefoot Bay was hit by a tornado which destroyed at least 50 homes, but Indian River County/Vero Beach, and especially Lakewood Village were spared the worst of it.
If anyone wants to call, they are encouraged to do so, if it makes them feel better to talk to someone who is here. Our office closed at 1:00p.m. on Tuesday, but we are all back today and will be open from now on, no more closures I hope.
Again, thanks for doing this for us, it is a real big help to be able to get the word out. I'm going to send an e-mail to all who have left e-mail addresses also, but I bet the blog reaches more people.

I had my first experience with driving in a tropical storm. Driving home from Palm Bay Wed about 11:30 was equal to a white out snow storm. I'm glad I've had years of experience with that. We never lost any power and had no damage. I'm just waiting for all the storm bands to totally pass us. The pond is really full which looks very nice. This morning we saw a tiny blue sky peak through but it only lasted about 30 minutes. Our thoughts and prayers are with those that were hit worse than we were.
