We got very luck.  The worst of the storm was to the northeast over the Atlantic.  Here on Merrit
Island we only got about 4 inches of rain and winds well below hurricane strength.  Lots of debris,
but no damage.  I've been cleaning up all day and will being doing so for the next week.  I had only
just finished cleaning up after Hurricane Floyd.   (I've got about 90 palm trees, a dozen pines and
10 oaks.  That adds up to a lot of debris.)
