Pam, so glad to hear that you and your mom are safe. I saw on the news that a home in Satellite Beach is on fire due to downed power lines and it looked like a big fire. I haven't heard about the storm surge ... hope the barrier islands aren't flooded too bad. Sebastian Inlet and barrier islands here were predicted to have 8-11 foot storm surge!!
All is fine with us, we weathered the storm with no damage. There's tons of leaves and small branches all over and one Maple tree broke off near the top but it was a small Maple and will be easy for my husband to get his chain saw to it eventually as things clear up. Lots of standing water ... still have tropical storm force winds so it will be awhile before we get out to do any clean up. Hope everyone to the north where Matthew is heading stays safe.
Leaves were plastered to the north side of the screened pool enclosure, pool was overflowing for a bit but all is well. Thanks so much for all the good thoughts and prayers as we experienced this storm.
For those in the area of Port St. Lucie be aware, the news just reporting of 3 or 4 guys going to homes and stating they are there to help restore power or water ... they are not! They are robbing the homeowners at gunpoint!!
