I’m glad you and your family are alright. I forgot Chad is up by Tampa. I hope he and his family are ok too.Florida Man Strong ! Thanks for wondering how we fared through Hurricane Milton's impact. Fortunately our community was not directly impacted directly by the 6' of storm surge that pushed ashore here in Naples. Last night the winds sure were howling, there were tons of palm fronds scattered around but I could only find one large palm tree that was taken down by the winds. A friend of mine whose home is located near in inland tidal creek took on water so I spent much of the day helping him with clean up. Our home came through OK. Our hearts go out to folks more to the north who suffered unspeakable damage. I'm hoping that Chad Pirtle and his family came through OK. Just now checking Blade Forums so perhaps he has posted to let us know. Sleep should come pretty easy tonight.
