Powers back! (Do you know how much it sucks trying to sleep with your windows open, no power, and 99% humidity?)
So, I'm fine, apartment is still here. There's A LOT of wind damage. It was crazy though. It was supposed to be a dead on hit for us (the eye was - which is the part that had the 140mph winds), but at the last moment it changed course and went up the coast and hit Pt Charlotte and Punta Gorda (which I'm sure y'all have seen the footage from that.. those places are leveled)
We still got it pretty bad. None of the traffic lights are working, which is making for a lot of fun, and as expected no one is allowed on Ft Myers beach, Sanibel, or Captiva (which is just BAD. 75% of the buildings were damaged or destroyed, and the storm surge made a whole nother island)
Crazy times. Cape Coral got it pretty bad to, so I hope Spacey is ok
