Top sustained speeds now are listed as being "only" 85 mph. Barometric pressure is raising rapidly, so it looks like Irma is on it's way to becoming history.

Have you guys watched the videos of people looting a shoe store? Stealing boxes of sneakers and driving off their cars. So sad to take advantage of this situation. Praying for everyone's safety.

Not much happened here at all. Winds and rain weren't any worse than a typical hefty thunderstorm. Just shook a bunch of branches out of some trees. Most of which were dead wood and going to fall anyway. No trees here got toppled or had their tops snapped off. Heck, we had some black plastic buckets out in the yard that we got plants in from a nursery and they didn't even get pushed around by the wind.
Lost power at 8:30 am Monday morning, however. Just came back 6:20 pm today (Tuesday), so it was out for around 34 hours. Comcast also got knocked out because of a tree falling on the line along our road. We took a drive late yesterday to see if anyone else had power and to check the power lines along the road, and went to the post office while we were out. Post office had a sign on the door stating that they were closed till further notice. Hope I get a letter in my post office box telling me when they will reopen. They even had the mail drop-off boxes wrapped in plastic so no one could give them any back logged work to do when they came back to work.
Today Connie and were putting things back together today from our preparations for the storm, and cleaning up the debris that got shook out of the trees. Didn't need to crank up any of the chain saws, fortunately. Most of preparations we did prior to the storm was wasted effort, as it turned out, but necessary, I suppose, from the potential impact up here of Irma. I guess a lot of people are on the trek back home to assess the damages in south Florida. Now there, I am sure, it was a much different story.

That's a good thing.
Same here, somewhat. My boat got loose from the boat house. I had to go get it from the opposite side of the property. Luckily the wind kept it close to the seawall, and also that I noticed it right away.
Other than that, and losing power for about 24 hours, AND losing a rose bush which I can replant, we're alive and went relatively unscathed.
