My family and I as well as my grandparents are all safe and sound. We got very lucky last night as Matthew turned to the north rather then continue on it's predicted track or it would of been far worse then it was. We never lost power amazingly nor was there any damage, major or minor. The only thing we lost was the internet connection which went out around 8:00 last night and didn't come back on until almost 11:00 today. The wind last night was around tropical storm strength and Florida Light and Power did a really great job keeping the trees trimmed so there would be fewer problems with the power lines. NOAA is now predicting that Matthew will turn and head back towards the Bahamas, meanwhile Nicole has done a literal 180 and instead of heading north is now heading south towards Porto Rico and the island of St. Thomas so it well be an interesting time seeing what these two storms will do in the coming days.

Glad you and your family are safe. Hopefully, the clean up efforts in the Carolina's will go smoothly.

Getting the tail end of Matthew today (Monday) in Eastern Canada. Heavy rains and very strong winds. We had the not so good fortune of traveling back from Halifax to P.E.I. this afternoon. What a trip. Slow and dicey, then we got to Confederation Bridge. No trucks or high sided vehicles and speed was restricted to 60 kph. Man it can get windy up there. Glad to report we made it home safe and sound. Had a great visit with son, daughter in law and that little grand daughter. Happy Thanksgiving (Canadian).:salute:

Ha ha. While typing this up we lost power. Didn't come back on till sometime through the night. Wind and rain has stopped.
