We got through the night. Power was out for 3 hours but it is back. Other than some debris, there is no obvious damage to where we live. We'll begin calling friends soon to see if they're all right too.

*****

I live in central Palm Beach County and we're already getting brushed by the Hurricane. We have power and internet but for how much longer is anyone's guess.

A fire station is a very short walk (.2 miles) from where i live. Power might be restored fast. My family made a small move in 2015. After Wilma in 2005, it was 11 days before our power was restored.

Other things of note

Members of the media are still making live reports in bad weather. This is stupid IMHO One of these days a reporter will get killed while on the air.

My story, Right under her Nose, is still a number one best seller at Amazon.

Pearl's restaurant, which is near my home and I had a scene at in one of my stories, has closed. A new restaurant has taken its place. My family and I ate at Pearl's many times. We haven't checked out the Hive yet but will some day.

We're going to be fine down here but inconvenienced for a while.
