I'm alive. God I hate hurricanes.

We lost power at 12:30 while watching the weather guys tell us about all the possible funnel clouds near Vero Beach, just south of where I was. We listened to the battery-operated radio most of the night, and I slept under the pool table in case the roof caved in.

Only damage was my boyfriend forgot to lock his tonue cover on his truck and it flew off and hit the side of his car, somehow cartwheeled over my car, and landed in the grass. He has a nice dent and we can't figure out how it went from his car to the grass without touching my car, parked next to and slightly in front of him. Once again, everyone in the neighborhood took damage except for him. His neighbor across the street lost the roof to his screen room and it flew over their house, over our place, and landed in the woods next to ours. Once again, we got really lucky.

I was stuck in Grant that whole next day though, because US 1 was flooded from Malabar to Barefoot Bay, and Palm Bay had a curfew in effect, so my 2 ways out were blocked. Luckily it wasn't as hot as it was when Frances hit, so we weren't completely miserable. But this time he lost the phone line, and I think the cell phone towers must be down because I had a hell of a time using my cell phone.

Luckily my place has power. Tomorrow on my way to work I'm going to drive by the condo complex I'm moving into to make sure my place didn't get wiped out.
