damage report so far...
Well, I managed to get through on the cell phone to Mom's cell phone earlier. It sounds like everyone is okay, and her house has undergone no real structural damage. She said our sliding door has been letting in a lot of water, so the "florida room" in the back of the house is pretty wet. The good thing is that the carpet in there was just put down as a stopgap until they could lay tile, so even if they have to pull up all the carpet, it won't be that bad. They've got some downed branches, and they lost power at 12:30 am, so aside from some inconveniences, everyone is okay.
George's parents have lost the entire privacy fence surrounding their property, the bamboo they planted several years ago is totally down, and all of their landscaping (pretty plants and trees) is pretty much history. They too have lost power.
We're obviously still in Tampa. Winds have started to pick up, and the rain has been pretty steady. We're thinking about doing a LOTR-athon-- at least until we lose power (god, I hope we don't lose power). The cats are starting to go a little stir crazy, but aside from that, all is well. :)
