Good thing that's all it was there and largely a rain event here. I'm glad to see it's finally been weakened to the point it's not a huge threat anymore.

That's a joke don't be offended....cause I'm a smart ass like that. dont worry we are kinda upset too LMAO now we did get 90mph gusts and sustained winds of 50mph and sideways rain that was pretty rough but it wasnt as bad as predicted we spent money on supplies that we really didnt need but if we didnt get them it prob would have been worse schools are out in my county til next monday tomorrow they open in the county next to me where the kid goes to school I will post a video on youtube later today showing the sideways rain and the tree but it was dark outside so it might not be that easy to see Edit if you wanna see it Jon I did post a small video to facebook last night

My area got hit hard. not only with irma but I was in the path of a tornado that hit as well down the I-4 corridor. We had very bad property damage still no power in most areas around me since it hit sunday night. ened up going to ER blew my back out, may need surgury now. Had to drive almost an hour away just for gas for the genorators. My first day back at work in soooooo much pain. but these bills wont pay them selves. Just hope the power gets restored in time for me to get back in to the the comp

Oh man Frank. Take it easy on that back. I know very well how that feels. I had to wear a back supporter for three weeks cause I tore up my back. I couldn't move without that supporter on. Couldn't walk, get in and out of bed without that thing on.
Seen a doctor yet?

Don't make a cripple of yourself, should you lose the ability to provide for yourself thats when it's BAD. I know you have good people around you, if they offer to help let them. We all get to that point when we "Want" to keep going but just can't like we used to - I'm still going through it in that I'm still going but the wear is showing, nearly killed myself yesterday dragging limbs from the front yard before I knew it.
I literally had to stop and sit right in the middle of the driveway until I had caught my breath from the effort needed to drag them. No problems breathing, my heart just can't keep up with the demand of such activity anymore and I'm learning my limits. Even though at first I felt like it was fine it caught up with me FAST and had me on the ground for a minute.
Take care of yourself first before it takes care of you is what I"m getting at.
