Checking in from at work.
I'm glad to see most of our fellow Floridian SimHQers coming through this with little of no damage, etc. Power is still out at my place, along with CATV/internet. Cell phone/4G/SMS Text service is spotty. The SMS Text is most reliable, as you would expect, but even that comes through in batches. Thankfully, we still have water pressure, which makes the rest of it more tolerable. No real damage to the house... just some branches down, and lotsa leaves. We have a generator which I run periodically to keep the refrigerator cool enough and to recharge some batteries. This part of Florida dodged a canon round. The dry air coming down from Canada basically took the p!ss out of IRMA, bringing it down to much less power and organization by the time it got this far north along the peninsula.
Now, up here, the flood to contend with is mostly the returning evacuees, as southbound traffic on major arteries is filling up, and apparently it has been outrunning the return of gasoline supplies in some cases. There are worse problems to have... all one has to do is remember the folks further south and over in Texas in the affected areas.

Took 16hrs for our guests to return to Tampa (usually should take 9-10). Guess everyone's going back at once.
It only took me 3 hrs and 10 minutes to get back from Laurel, Mississippi to near Tampa.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
