Whew! She and her boyfriend are fine, although without power. There are several trees down in her complex, some of them on cars, but they parked away from the building and trees...smart girl!

Funny story. My mom "reminded" her that she won't be able to flush the toilet without additional water since the power is out. So she had my sis fill the tub for just in case. We grew up in a small town that had no municipal water, so we had a well. The pump for the well ran on electricity so in this house, Mom's right, we coulnd't flush the toilets. Now my hubby just broke me of that belief in the last few years because it's so ingrained in since we were kids. I called her and told her she could flush and we laughed and laughed! She didn't really know how it worked either. I wonder if my brother still does that?

Now, about my friend in Orlando...Hope it dissipated at least a bit before it hit there.
