I survived. I'm on the East Coast due East of Tampa. The ranch is about 30 miles inland. If one could make a map of the highest cattle producing areas of the state, the hurricane took exactly that path. Lot of farming and cattle on the lower west coast, then the biggest beef producing areas in the interior around Okeechobee, Osceola and Polk counties. .

Glad to hear you came through it okay, DR.
I'm flying down next Monday to see what kind of damage we really had.
Our place is 10 miles north of Okeechobee, a mile or so east of 441, about 40 miles from the eastern coast.
We talked to the young man who's staying in the house. He says we didn't have any damage at all to the house, no major tree damage, but the pond now takes up over half of the property!
I heard that parts of Orlando got hit pretty bad. Some of airport terminal buildings, as well as planes, were damaged. The theme parks had some damage but were open for business on Saturday.
And heck, up here in Nebraska -- we're FREEZING!
Upper 60's to low 70's, with 50' for an overnight low!
It's downright COLD for August!
We run a seasonal bait/convenience store up here -- and our last season in business has not been a good one!
It rained for Memorial & 4th of July weekends. So there's 2 of the 3 major weekends shot, and now as the 3rd approaches, the area lakes are being shut down due to toxic algea. The only lakes still open and safe are the ones right down here close to us, and wouldn't you know it, it looks like its is going to be cooler than normal, so people won't be heading to the lakes in droves as they usually do.
I am so ready to get out of the bait business!
