Beth we were ok, especially compared to some. It was horrible for many in our coast, Cedar Key is only 62 miles from us but they got it really bad as did Steinhatchee , also those in Ashville N.C. We fell so bad for them. We had strong winds, and everything was closed down roads all blocked here, although no comparisson to many. Some homes on the coast washed out into ocean with people in them never found.
I didn't realize that Steinhatchee go hit so hard. My cousin and her husband have a "fish camp" down there (they live in GA). Her husband spends all his free time down there and she enjoys him being gone, lol.
One of my nieces, Dianna, was in Asheville when Helene was hitting, They were out of gas like to have never found any, they payed some guy, who went and found them some, luckily. She was there for a wedding of one of friends, and storm hit. My sister in law of one of my brothers, told Marie my other brother the father of her and his wife were going crazy, with worry. She said they finally made it out, down lots of back roads there, and which she said took them a long time. Haven't talked to them yet, to get whole story. I feel sorry for everyone going through this.
Watching these videos again after clearing our drives and yards, getting power,reminds me how fortunate we really were.
