Another of the long line of bands with squalls & winds of 50 mph & heavy rains with potential for tornadoes is coming in here now.

The sky is just getting some light to it....will be watching local news teams coverage to see just how much water & wind damages from tornadoes overnight!

Stay safe & check in Fla peeps!

Still no word from my 16 year old niece, her mom and step family. They live in Panama City! One worried Aunt here! New Smyrna is starting to dry up and the sun is shining. Hope everyone in North Florida, Georgia and The Carolinas are safe!

I hope you hear from your family soon, Zimmeh and that all is well with them.

It was a rough and tumble night here. Once Hermine came ashore all hell broke out here with bad storms, wind and nonstop rain. So I stayed awake all night to be on the lookout for tornado sightings in the area so we could take better cover if needed.

Then when the sun rose, everything just sort of stopped, other than nonstop drizzle and a few rumblings.

So now, I am going to attempt to sleep.

I hope everyone is safe and remains that way.

Thank you Jesse. I heard from her and they are fine! I am really happy to hear this!

Hope you are snoozing like a baby!

Hope you all are staying safe. I have a couple of friends that live in Florida and they have checked in and continue to do so every so many hours. I have been watching it on the news, the storm surge is unbelievable.

Stay safe and keep checking in, you are in my thoughts.

Reports are finally coming in locally of the damage Hermine left in her wake. Just half a mile down the road from me parts of the main drag are so flooded it is undrivable. Several cars are upside down in flooded ditches. Many neighborhoods in my area that are 'not in a flood zone' are reporting waist high water. Trees through roofs, or crashed down on cars, etc. Many remain without electricity and it may be several days before it is restored. There is damage from at least one 'suspected' tornado as well. I heard about a trailer park somewhere nearby that was pretty devastated by a 'suspected tornado'.

The good news is that even though close to 40 people had to be rescued from their homes, (possibly more since I last listened to the reports) I know of only one death and I am not totally sure it was storm related.

In the end, it is the safety and well being of people and animals that truly matters.
