Thank you for reporting. Great to hear none of your dear ones are hurt, great to hear our prayers have been heared.

Sad to hear 1200 died in floods in Southern Asia at the same time as Harvey hit....

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Truly a great tragedy. So many there have very little and so have no effective means of protecting themselves from whatever may come their way.

Some photos of the storm damage and flooding, all from the ipad, so my apologies if they do not post correctly.

Very glad to hear that you and your family are safe.

Hope the recovery for you and your neighbors goes well.  These storms can be a miserable experience!

All of the above were taken as I attempted to reach my office to see if there was any damage. The normal commute time is roughly 30 minutes. Today, because of the detours, it took rouughly an hour to get there. The damage is widespread, but not severe. We got off lucky compared to Naples and Ft. Myers.
