I feel for you. I live in south Miami and have another place in Marathon in the keys. I know first hand what it is like. We have been very lucky so far this year.
Having the power back on is a big deal. I wish you the best of luck moving forward in recovering from the storms.
Don't suffer, reach out if you need something.

Ohio looks better ALL the time.... No hurricanes, no tornadoes, no wildfires, no earthquakes, no 115 degree heat, no rain 200 days every year...
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

I am over here in Trumbull County Eddie. 1985 I walked out of a store to see this. No warning. It was just there. Years later the weatherman who missed the forecast apologized for his mistake. The station secretary went looking for him at a festival after Niles was hit. Niles, Ohio tornado ...Deb

Oh geeze. So between that one (and I was living with a girl at the time who was from there and her parents were narrowly missed) and Xenia in 1974 that is what, 2 in your lifetime? Oklahoma has 17 a day in spring. I suppose if you ate fish once and got sick that means that getting sick from eating fish is the rule and not the exception? A jet loses and engine and it hits your car so that will happen routinely? I am older than you and am aware of weather. That also means I am aware how rare it is that we have a major weather problem. Every year California burns down. Josie got hit with 2 hurricanes in a WEEK!!!
What's even more ridiculous is the people who stay in places like Moore OK that gets hit by an f5 every few years and destroys the town. And they all say "We're staying and god will take care of us." Well, who do you think sent the f5 tornado?
Ohio, when compared to the rest of the country, is the frickin' Garden of Eden for weather. 2 tornadoes of consequence in my 69 years is a day at the beach.

Hi Josie,
My thoughts are with you and I'm just glad that you survived and didn't incur more damage than you actually did.
Everyone complains about the weather here in England, but really we shouldn't when we see the devastation which a tornado or wildfire can cause. We need to learn to count our blessings.
Hope you can get back to some sort of normality before too long. Keep us up to speed.
Best,
ROG.

Josie,
I don't know how you made the post but thank you for the update. I'm glad you and your family are safe, still have a house and electricity has returned.
My thoughts and prayers continue for everyone affected by the hurricanes and those on the US west coast that continue to endure wildfires.
What a year 2020 has been.

I'm glad to hear that you and your family are safe and that your house had minimal damage.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I feel your pain. Here in NC, we're 100+ miles from the ocean but a big hurricane is still a Category storm when it gets to us. I can recall a few ( Fran, Floyd, Hugo) that left it's calling card on this area. Record floods and lots of homes and trees damaged.
Fran left us without power for over a week. It's amazing how much of our modern life depends on electricity. A generator helps to make life tolerable until power is back on.
Where I live now.... out in the woods.... I don't want to see any big Cat level storms come through here. I have big trees around my house that if they fall the wrong way will no doubt do some serious damage. We removed several that were really close and leaning. the ones left are still big enough to hit the house if the fall towards it but hopefully, they are straight and strong enough to stand in the wind. And water..... got to have water. In the town, we had a huge water tank and it could supply the town for a week.... out here, we're on a well. So yep, the generator is a necessity to keep sanitation going properly and the freezer and fridge working.
Thankfully, you made it through the storms safely.

I remember when there was a big one in Houston. Was that maybe Ike? Houston is 1300 miles from me. 2 days after the actual devastation in Houston, the winds from it came this far north and we had 80 mpg gusts with sustained winds of 50-55. That wind blew a tree over. That tree landed on a power transformer and caught fire. That fire burned a large amount of wiring that fed the building that was nearest to it. That building happened to be where the multiplexers and switches for my internet provider live. I was down for three days while they made those repairs. And that was 1300 miles from the event.
I was working for an internet provider then. The day after the hurricane I got a call from an irate customer in Sugarland. She ranted and raved for a solid 10 minutes about how she pays us for service and why are we down and when are the repairs going to be made. When she stopped yelling I said "Are you done ma'am? Okay. Yes, you pay us for service. However, you are calling from your cell phone. Why is that? Because your home phone is down? The data for your DSL internet travels on the same wiring as your phone. You were just in a hurricane YESTERDAY. Your house is likely partially underwater. Is your internet really a priority at the moment? As soon as FEMA lets our trucks into the city, the repairs can start. Right now your streets are closed and many of the equipment boxes are on the side of those closed streets. Do you think we WANT you to be down so we get these angry phone calls? Our people will get you back up and running as soon as the flooding subsides and FEMA lets our trucks in. Beyond that I have nothing more I can tell you other than I am glad you are safe and able to call us."
That customer then called the business office and canceled her service. Because apparently it was our fault there was a hurricane.
Reason number 27 I like retirement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
