Ferm,
Glad to hear that you and your family are ok. Video footage from around Clearwater area was scary.

Glad to hear good news from all.
Best I can tell we had 41" above the regular forecast tide. Several subdivisions inundated from salt water intrusion into homes. Thankfully we didn't have any problems. bradford, y'all have any problems with the surge?

Drove through it as Betz creek covered Walthour rd and Oemler Loop going to help a friend with his generator. It flooded most of Offshore subdivision. My brother in law had 16 inches in the house on the north end of Tybee Island off of Bay St. No flooding at my house thank God, and no downed trees this time, just debris. Took two 14 foot trailer loads to the dump. Power came back on today too. Only out 3 days, not too bad, praying for those with real problems.

Zoom in and you can check out aerial views of the keys. Feel bad for the folks there.

Two new tide gauges were installed a few days before the storm at Turners Creek @ Hwy80 and the Herb River @ LaRoche Ave. Each gauge recorded about 34" higher at the 2pm tide than the previous high tide at 2am.
Ft. Pulaski stopped reading a couple of hours before the high tide. I left Thursday before the storm to prepare our growing facility that is 30 miles away from Savannah and was unable (unwilling) to return due to the mass exodus. Even then fuel and supplies were out sporadically all across Chatham County. We delivered plants in Columbus on Wednesday before the storm, none of the major chain stores there had generators or 5 gallon fuel cans available. I-95 southbound at I-16 was at a crawl yesterday at noon. Yesterday we stopped by Food Lion on White Bluff Rd. There were no frozen or refrigerated products available but they were open! True to nature of Savannah, there was ample beer and wine on the shelf.

Glad you guys did okay, as did we. All my Florida friends did well. I wish everyone down there could say the same.
Bradford, that link is incredible.
