PENNY WATCH

[ErnieBilco]

ALL SAFE. Dodged a real bullet........AGAIN.

Somehow Sarasota always winds up on the weak side of storms.

Wind was extreme but it was blowing from North to South so it hit the only side of my house with no windows.

Still waiting on power at the house, went out at exactly 1 pm Saturday afternoon. We will about a half mile from the FPL main transfer station on the south side of town. It's pretty hard to believe they can't get power back on, when 1 block west never lost power.

Little irritations can be dealt with - NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE IS A GREAT RELIEF.

Hope you guys were just as lucky as we were.
