The major problem with the hurricane was false information. We didn't know where or when it would hit. First it was Thursday so schools closed, court houses, businesses, etc. But there was no problem at all. Friday was a typical day... nothing save so many venues were closed. Sat and Sun were normal and it was said to hit Monday It didn't hit Monday although so many places were still locked. It hit Tuesday. Where I am there was rain and some wind but nothing serious. Everything standard until light went Tues. night at about 6:30. Where I am was safe. outside of a leaky roof, no prob. trees did not go down, no flooding. major prob. electricity is off. I am on battery and don't know how long that will last. If light returns I will.

You really was supplied with plenty of wrong information. At least it's gone now, I am glad you are fine and safe.
