3. My power went out about 1:30 AM Friday

Sep 2024

Came back on about an hour ago (12:30 or so today). And of course, without power, the rural phone/internet box down the street runs out of battery power about 4 hours later.

My husband, who left to go to a thing in Orlando yesterday morning, called to check on me. He said the interstate (I-10) was kind of a mess, but clear enough to drive. He saw three semis off the side, mostly stuck in the mud. No idea why they would have been out in the storm.

As far as our farm, one big limb out of our old pecan tree, lost an old cherry tree that fell completely over. not sure about farther down the hill - I wasn't about to try driving through the pastures to check.

Overall, Tallahassee lucked out with that last hour jog to the east the storm did.
