Did everyone in Florida dodge the bullet with the tropical storm ?

In Orlando, I did. Did anyone suffer on the coast from the winds or flooding or storm surge etc ?

I'm probably less than 1/2 mile from the coast too. I did a partial boarding up of my house in the back. I heard this was going to be a busy season so I decided to get a jump on things. It rained a lot, but the wind wasn't too bad.

Think about moving back, but then I think of the mess it is and it gives me pause
