"Sunshine state"

Well I just got my power back on and cable, and wanted to check in to see if all our other members that live in the so called "Sunshine State" are doing ok. I got hit pretty good, 4 trees in the back yard, 1 on the back porch and a 8" diameter branch hit my fullsize Z71, not too much damage to the CC but a few minor scratches, both my neighbors had trees in their roofs, and a buddy got a tree in his living room, a customer of mine lost his tractor/trailer due to high winds that rolled it over. some people are saying that we had tornados by the way the trees are twisted and everything, this place is a mess, I wouldn't plan a vacation here for a few months or so - we got hit with 3 hurricanes and the 4th one hit up northern FL. I would have to say that local news made Charley and Frances to be so massive and destructive but I think that Jeanne did the most damage, charley had high winds but only cut a path across FL that was 100 miles wide, Frances brought more rain/ flooding than anything, then Jeanne well lets just say that she hit on the east coast and I had winds of 85+ recorded by a airport 15 miles west of my house and more flooding.
