I'm in St Pete (west of Tampa) and we, amazingly, did not get the crush of Irma that was expected. I said goodbye to my house on Sunday morning, after packing up my family photos, wedding album, and paintings we couldn't replace. We are in a flood zone and had been told the surge would take it out. When I got to my house at 8am yesterday morning, I was overjoyed to find it water free and standing!
Lots of trees, signs, fences, etc. down and we have no power. The power is the biggest issue for now as it's hot and humid and will get dangerous for my senior dogs to deal with for long. They won't even say how long it may be. We may just move into my office - the office never lost power though we don't have any internet. That's what air mattresses are for, right?
This was my first hurricane (we moved to FL 2 months ago) and I'd like to not do this again.
