A 6-hour loss of power and a few downed limbs from the wind here in the heart of Charlotte. I know a few still had no power late yesterday due to downed trees but, other than that, we're counting our lucky stars we didn't have another Hugo! And, it's gorgeous and 71º today - can't complain at ALL.

Happy to hear no property damage, Ben! I hope how soon your internet & power are back up and running.

        Talquin Electric turned off the power on Sunday and kept it off for 48 hours, even though "Irma" never got anywhere near this place.

      Talquin claimed, "Safety".  But the real reason for cutting off power to hundreds of houses here?  The mandatory evacuation and state of emergency will bring them millions of dollars from FEMA.  

Good to know that it is over and all are safe.

Being born and raised in South Florida I will say that Hurricane Irma had us all pretty nervous. Thankfully for my close friends and family she turned and we did not get the direct hit that Palm Beach County had been expecting. There are still a lot of people without power and FPL & other power crews are working endlessly on 16 hour shifts covering 24 hour days to get us all back up and running. We are very thankful for the minimal damage that most received her and the hard work that is taking place for clean up! My hope is that the West Coast can survive the aftermath. But I know they will, us Floridian may be crazy but you'd have to be to live where we do! We've got this!

Nothing on this side of the world except concern for those impacted by Harry and Irma's visits.  Our day will come.  

No dames in Jupiter but no power until the end of the week we think.

During times like Hurricane Season, New England looks good.... our turn will come during winter blizzards!!

I'm in central Georgia.  Irma left a lot of businesses in downtown Macon without electricity or internet service...ours fortunately was not one of them.  My home in Warner Robins, GA did not lose power at all, we lost our privacy fence and a lot of limbs from our River Birch tree due to the winds.  We were very lucky.

Ben DeHaven We're getting the remnants of it with some rain.

No complaints.

Mike and I were not raised with a golden spoon, so we take things in stride. We have been through many hurricanes.

Lots of limbs down and days of cleanup needed.  Our dock is still underwater and falling apart.  Our yard gate with posts in concrete was knocked down.

We were out of power for 2 days and got internet back today (3 days).   Last time we were 10 days with no services and it was really hot...

I am worn out from sleeping longer, doing nothing and eating crap.  Today I went back to juicing greens and tomorrow I am going back to the gym. 

Typically we found that the affluant neighborhoods got power restored the fastest...this time they worked on the working class neighborhoods first...Mike and I figured there must be a politician living among us.

Right after the storm, there was a line one mile long for Mc'Donalds drive thru.  They were not letting anyone inside for fear of a riot for food.  The waffle house was also open with a 2 hour wait. 

Today most eateries that have power are open, but I am not going to eat out...I worry about the quality of leftovers they might serve this early.

Most people still do not have power and everyone is looking for ice and a place to charge phones.  We put all frig food in coolers with small frozen water bottles (works better than plain ice), so lost very little food.  Our freezer stayed frozen.

Last bad hurricane was about 13 years ago, so we are good for awhile...hopefully.

We enjoyed beautiful weather in Maryland.

It was a vigorous backrub, but no right hook for me.

Thankfully, it didn't reach us here in NY.

But, I did write this article for one of my clients to help those who need to get insurance/repair/FEMA estimates.  I hope it helps many.  It's an epic post (over 6,000 words How to repair and sell your house after a hurricane or flood.

We came out fine - just some wind and light rains - I also wrote an offer the day after - the good with the bad

Ok, she stayed out of IL except for today. We will have rain I guess.

Luckily it did not visit Arizona

Fortunately, we were lucky.

We had some wind and rain though it wasn't really heavy like in the deep south.

All of the devastation created great sadness within me.  I was nowhere near the hurricane ... yet it hurt me. I worried about so many of my AR friends. It certainly messed with my head and heart.

Ben DeHaven Glad you are okay.

Glad to hear you weathered the storm well Ben.

In Chicago, no problem. My friends, all over Florida, were spared for the most part although some still lack electric power.

No impact in Oregon outside of rising gas prices - probably due to Harvey rather than Irma.

Just a little rain and some wind - a few downed tree limbs.  The power flickered a bit but stayed on for us.  Thankful for the near miss!

Nothing but a little rain here in Loudoun county VA.

Finally got power back in Miami condo; elevators are working and water pumped out of underground garage. Windows not broken; not sure yet if water damage inside (hubby going tomorrow to assess). Expecting Irma rain in Connecticut next couple of days.

We had some heavy rains on Monday night and some wind, but overall no biggie in Charlotte.

I say you are one of the lucky ones.

GLad all is reasonably well. Some friends and family do not have power but from what I have heard minimal damage, thankfully!

Ben,

Glad to hear you fared well, as did our clients, had minimal damage.  A

CENSORED

I was one of the more fortunate ones.  Irma came through my side of town and sprinkled us with a little rain.  No power outages.  I did get to spend time with family and friends who evacuated from the south.  I pray that those who endured Irma's wrath are able to recover and get back to normalcy very quickly.

I did get 2 calls from people that want to move to Denver now.

Glad to hear you sustained no property damage, and hope you get your power back soon!  

Thank goodness it was a tropical storm when it hit Atlanta.  We did not lose power but my brother did for 2 days.  Other than rain & more rain it was not too bad.

Same here.  No issues, but no power or Internet.

What is left of Irma is making it into New England today, just sporadic rain left. I was happy to hear from all my friends an family in Florida who mae it through. My friends in the keys had the most damage with one, not even able to get to his house to see what happened there yet

We are in Pa.

Not at all
