In the Tampa Bay area of Fla. we were Blessed. High Tides and 20 to 40 mile per hour winds, nothing major, Thank God. Those to the North and West of us were not as Lucky. A friend of mine's family was lucky, a few branches down and no power for several days. In Fla. we share a lot of things, power trucks and tree cutting company trucks were seen on the highways heading North to the problem areas.
God Bless those that were hit bad. While all of the older areas are not up to it yet over the last 10 to 15 years stronger building codes have gone into effect. Some areas of Fla. have to build to 225 mile per hour wind codes, my area is now up to 145 mph. In my house thoughts and Prayers continue for those hit.
