I’m in St. Augustine we had lots of flooding and very high surf. Our condo was surrounded by tidal flood water and was about an inch for coming in. Everyone in my family is safe and all I lost was some shed contents. Definitely feeling grateful.

Honestly, that’s not bad, considering your proximity. During Irma, despite coming ashore farther from me than Ian, I lost power for over 8 days. I found out during that storm that my next door neighbor and I are on different feeds. They were down for maybe 36 hours.We finally got power, internet and cable back today 3 days almost to the minute from when we lost it.
The post storm weather was definitely a mercy to those that lost power. While I had a generator for the Irma power loss, it was not strong enough to run my central AC. Just about everything else in my house was running off the generator, though. Internet and TV were up, which definitely helped. The heat was brutal.The weather has been unseasonably mild,
@Divin'Papaw and @Manatee Diver - sorry I’m out of state all the way up in Virginia. Otherwise I could’ve lied my butt off at work, made your damages my own and then trucked on over (and down) to help you guys with clean up.
I've had it on my To-Do list, but this fall I'm getting one of the carburetor Natural gas conversion kits. Crappy running dirty carbs after sitting for a year is just a constant problem.(and I drain it). My neighbors have converted and they ran like a dream. No more filling gas cans.we are going to have a serious conversation about power
