Back now - the Internet connection returned from where hurricane Milton blew it away to late last night.
We had a fair amount of damage. We figured we did when we heard the hurricane make weird noises on the roof. Ah, well - Florida. You catch a Cat 5 over your house every now and then.
I'll put up some thoughts later, but the one that really stands out is how I was the only guy with a working generator. Even people with medical devices that plug into the wall didn't have anything. It didn't look like most people did any prepping at all other than grab some extra toilet paper and maybe a case of water bottles.
I'm glad that I went to Home Depot for roof tiles on Thursday afternoon - there aren't any within a hundred miles now. We're newbies in Florida and even we know that was going to happen.

After one hurricane, the importance of a maintained generator, things to patch a roof, basic food, and a chainsaw become paramount in necessary supplies. Even the low category hurricanes can find the weak crossmember on a power line, blow away a few roof shingles, and leave no supplies except what are on hand.
They're working on my power right now. Should be up in an hour or so. I had a small hole punched in my roof, but no other damage. Glad to hear you are OK.
Good man, BP! But do like BC… go over your preps and address any deficiencies. Good to hear you’re okay 👍
Glad to see you resurface.
Oh geez it's good to see you back up. I was imagining from simple (yet pesky) power out to major damage. Great to see the return. We had little damage and ended up with the eye over us yet little effect. Between you and us it lost quite a bit though it was still quite a blow. Welcome back!
