Thanks for sharing this!
Getting lots of rain here in northeast FL, and some good breezes, but no tropical-storm/hurricane strength winds. At least, not yet anyway,...
That did damage, lost power and washed out roads and took out waterfront structures all the way to Vermont. And lately we've also had some severe wind and rain storms and last week we had a tornado warning! Not to mention numerous power outages. Last year I met this really nice older couple from near Tampa here for the season who said they missed more than one hurricane and they're back this year. I live just south of the tourist mecca of Lake George, NY. Hope Donna continues to miss you!
