"Uncle" (hurricane) Milty

All y'all in central Florida, keep your heads down and your powder dry. Milton looks like he's going to be a beast.
Check back in when you can, after it passes.

We're ridding it out in Titusville , right now 7:40 we have a lull in the rain and wind , was able to let the dogs out to pee. No flooding as of yet, there saying the wind will be about 55 gusts to 80 and we should only get 3- 5" of rain, ya know how that goes, as long as I have power i'll keep ya posted.
Here's praying for the best.

House has minimal damage, lost my shed and part of the fence to a neighbor's oak. No power, so we're running the fridge off a generator.

We've got roads flooded and washed out in areas that I and others have never heard of having issues.

Some of my friends from the Tampa Bay area still had reception as of around 2300L yesterday. Flooding and power out but they were in good spirits and not too concerned. I'll start worrying if I don't hear from them by tomorrow.

My niece lives in Melbourne and said that they were concerned with the high winds last night but went out this morning and did not have any damage.
She was able to post a message on Facebook.

We lost power for an hour on Wednesday night. A small piece of shingle blew off the roof, and the phone and internet went down. Some roads washed out and flooding closed a few of them for a couple of days. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

Some neighborhoods in my area are still flooded out.
