    Any projections as to when things will start calming down for you there?

    You're on the good side of the surge. Hopefully the winds don't cause you problems but this will be another pruning event for those parts of the area that haven't been hit in a while. Between Wilma, Irma, Ian, and many others int he last 10 years, we are pretty hardened right now so the debris is less and the power grid has been tested and hardened.

    Is Carrollwood in the worst of it yet or is that still coming?

    They should be getting close to what I'm getting. There only 10 miles from me

    As I'm typing this my power is starting to flicker and I think I just heard part of my fence blow down.

    Good news is that there aren’t any rivers or big bodies of water there. Hopefully it all drains out.
