Emily was 50 miles ESE with 135 mph winds and moving at 18 mph at the
time I gave them an update. Around 3am they were shoving buckets of
water out of the house (tile floors and solid concrete walls). No
damage to the house, but the yards pretty torn up,

Hurricanes are weird things. The damage in the path of even a bad one
is often spotty - areas of massive destruction interspersed with areas
where only a couple of trees are down.

I've ridden out a half dozen or so of the damned things, and every one
of them has done something freakish. It would be fine with me if I
never saw another one.

Hope everything's ok with your people down there.
