Actually I was closed for medical reasons. Two days after the medical procedure, the hurricane hit. Then the power went out. Against doctor's written instructions. I had to lift 16-pound bags of crushed ice, to try to save all the food I had stockpiled so I would not have to run to the store while recouping. Power was restored after 46 hours. Not fun.
As bad as my situation was, some people down on the coast lost everything. The towns of Cedar Key, Suwannee, Horseshoe Beach, Steinhatchee, and Keaton Beach got smacked very hard. The storm surge at Cedar Key was between 15 and 20 feet.
This is a after action account from someone who rode it out on Cedar Key …

Wow! That was pretty devastating. Where is Cedar Key... as in what state? |

Hi CosmicRay, I'm so glad to hear from you. I was really worried about you during the storm. When I saw it hit the Big Bend area (and especially Cedar Key) I knew you were somewhere in the path. Glad to hear from you.
Thanks for posting that article, it was a really well done article. |

Cosmic, I hope the lifting didn't do your any damage and you are now following doctors orders. Good move about stockpiling before surgery as who would expect a storm to come along. I know I try to stockpile before winter hits since it is hard for me to get out in the snow. Bunch of decrepit old people selling here. LOL! |
