Well, what can you say...after a week of 24/7 news coverage, endless doomsday pontifications, mass evacuations, and great hysteria...the storm is gone. Lots of regional flooding, downed trees and pow...

Those wonderful trucks make their way to FL and TX and points above, below and between because of the regulations that makes them "utilities" instead of straight for profit corporations:).
This bullet dodging bashing has me in severe head scratching mode.
In comparison to your off shore neighbors, Florida, DID dodge a bullet that was forecasted to be worse than it was in most parts of the state.
Key West was supposed to take a massive hit and surprise, surprise it did. Now precious resources are spent rescuing the 1/5 of it's residents (10,000 people) who decided that a mandatory evacuation meant everyone but them. I hope they are presented with a bill for their pig-headed blind to anyone's needs but their own obstructionism.
No one is making light of the discomfort of life in present day Florida...they are merely pointing out it could be worst except for pure luck.
