Here in Tampa we are blessed! They say run from the water and hide from the wind. I stayed put. I brought hundreds of plants inside and I'm still getting them back to their outside home. We didn't get near the wind I was fearful of. They kept moving the forecast so we erred on the side of caution.

We lost power for about 22 hours but I heard on the radio that 2/3 of the state is without power. We are lucky. The people in my area and FB friends have some damage to trees but I haven't heard from anyone I know of damage to their homes. Farther south that is a whole other matter! They need our prayers.
