Woohoo! I think I missed the internet more than the electricity. 
Back in business here in Orlando for some, still alot of neighbors out of power though, and cable is sporadic. Major structural damage in our area, roofing was peeled up off of nearly every residence in our neighborhood, and our Bank of America and Burger King was clobbered, not opening for 2/3 weeks. Lots of accidents, traffic lights still not working in way too much of the city, especially the outskirt towns.
Saddest thing is the huge number of precious old Live Oak trees split or ripped up by the roots.
We sat out on the back porch after the eye passed through and watched huge pieces of them whizzing by every few minutes. And naturally all the weeds we could have lived happily without are still hogging the grounds.
A generator saved our fish and our propane for cooking held out, we never lost water supply, so I suppose we weathered it well enough, replace the roof and cleanup is the worst.
Tons to do, catch up with y'all on IM later.
