We’re still without power. But keeping my hurricane preps up has made it easy. A lot of people around here have lost their groceries I suspect. This storm caught most everyone by surprise. I wasn’t expecting it myself.

My Lady friend lives in Woodville just south of Tally. It messed up everybody's trees and she has no power. Her Son came over in a panic and started telling us everything was messed up...I just looked at him and said I been thru most every Hurricane that's hit Florida since 1955...No big deal , Then I drove back to my house in Perry and took a nice shower with the AC running wide open. She still has no power...Me , I;m gonna BBQ some ribs tonight and toast her sweatness....winning

A hurricane can not compare to the instantaneous, concentrated power of a tornado. The damage will be more widespread with a hurricane but a tornado is one minute or 2 of pure hell.

Was in Tally when it hit. As others mentioned, scattered damage and appears College Town and Rail Road square were the worse along with Woodville just to the south of Tally. Guy that works for me lives in Woodville and has multiple trees on the house. I was going to help cut them off but after looking at it, one is a huge pine that will need a crane. Took me a while to get home dealing with detours around trees and powerlines, not to mention, most folks don't have a clue how to deal with a stop light that is out. Passing through Woodville did see a 30' Travel Trailer flipped over. Some areas looked like tornadoes while other areas looked more like straight lined winds.
Luckily not any damage at the house down toward the coast, just a couple hours of saw and tractor work on limbs and downed trees around the property. Got my power back last night before the house got too hot but suspect it will be a while for some.

YUP , Hurricanes don't bother me much...It's the two weeks with no AC that kills me cause the weather is still hot in hurricane season. If they hit in the winter I'd be fine.
