I live in VA not FL, but a Tornado spawned off the storm that had been of one of the hurricanes that hit FL missed my house by about 50 feet. Cut some trees in the park behind my house in half. A tree on the other side of my house fell down in to my parking spot but my car wasn't there because I was still at work.

Bill,
Hi!!

Only experienced one really bad hurricane...Hazel in 1954...Young kid at the time when it came up the Delaware River and hit Philadelphia...Large trees (tulip poplar) down all over neighborhood...Trees thru houses so we could even climb onto roofs from ground after storm...Dad was in South on business...Mom had us all in bed with candles...Very scary...No power for a long time...
Moving further northward we never really have a direct one up here...But, we've had a few with snow that tore Long Island apart...Incredible experience in the woods when the snow is almost literally blinding you at high speeds...
Glad to hear you made it through...Hopefully that'll be it for this year...

RE: In separate reports released on Monday, Gartner and IDC both found that the Round Rock, Texas-based company had increased shipments of PCs by more than 20 percent, year-over-year. HP remained in second place to Dell, both research firms said.

"Dell completely blew its competitors away again," IDC analyst Roger Kay said.

Quite impressive %'s still coming from a $45 billion company...

Best, Kemble
