I just got back to my home a few minutes ago, I decided around 1 pm when my power went out ,yesterday to go ahead and cross the big bridge in town and go to my parents house bfore they closed the bridges, we close all bridges at 40 mph winds and last night around here I believe they said it topped out at 75 mph. My parents lost power around 6 last night and is still out but I have power at my house now but up and down the streets its spuratic who has power. I have a 4 year old and I didn't want to hang out at my parents anymore she was getting bored and since I had power I hopped on home. Jacksonville looks awful right now, lots of trees down and open power lines on the ground.
I feel the same as Lilith I wish I had taken this a bit more seriously and prepared a bit more for it. My parents are off this week to go get a generator, because they run off a well and pumps there isn't even water flow at there house.
Good luck to the guys that its coming through to.
