How are things there for you today, David?

Things are back to normal in the north east except for some minor damage at the beaches. From what I have gleaned from local news it's a mess mid state south. Actual count on tornadoes was 48 with at least one an ef3. 17 people died in that one. St Agustine about 30 miles south of me took a 'beach battering." This is actually normal. The Army Corp of engineers will be back again to pump more sand on the beach for the tourists.

Thanks to the Lord He was merciful to this area. We've had a lot of rain in the past couple of weeks which makes trees more apt to fall.
My next door neighbor has two 100 foot pine trees - about 3 foot in diameter.

Hopefully they are just caught in the mass exodus on one of the interstates. The emergency lanes on one side have been opened for thru traffic but it's still moving at a crawl. Praying for them

Thank you for your prayers. My brother and family did board up their house and evacuated. When they returned, the house aross the street of them was damaged. The house behind them was damaged. No flooding in their home. Just a few days with no electricity... but their generator took care of that.
They are in Bradenton, Manatee County. I do not know if you will be able to access the link below, but it shows some of the damage in their area.
