Relatively unscathed here in Palm Beach county. Was a long storm with 24 hours of tropical force / hurricane gust winds - still blowing probably though this afternoon. Power blips a few times and some palm fronds strewn about, but not much in terms of significant damage.

Space coast (and Jax) are taking a bigger hit.

It was a very close call. Defintiely dodged a bullet. Gov Scott was getting a bit dramatic but probably better to err on that side than taking it casually (it was a cat 4 bordering on 5 at times and pretty close to the coast). Surprised to see that even though we haven't had a significant storm in over 10 years, people took this one seriously and seemed to be prepared.

Home Depot and Publix made out pretty well

Didn't watch any national media (except Weather Channel) but local media did a great job.
