    we are where the blue dot is. So far so good. Lots of rain and we are expecting a lot of winds. 
    This storm has unusually high tornado activity. That's all been south and south east of us so far.

    They have closed all of the Waffle Houses from here over to Orlando down south past the area where the worst of the storm will be coming in.

    I had to laugh on the Waffle House's closing!  Hope everyone rides out Milton's path ok.  I love our tight knit community.

    Actually, Waffle House closings are a real indicator of storm severity.

    Yeah. They're notorious for not closing for any reason. My wife's cousin was a Waffle House waitress. They made them come in during a Cat 3 hurricane one time.

    Is everything OK @Robert Wood?  Has the danger passed?

    So, it would be good to hear from @Robert Wood this morning.... Also hoping Scanco staff are all safe (they are over near the west coast, many of them).

    We lost power and internet for most of the night. My cell service was down until 6:30. power came back up around 4:30. 

    We are good.

    my daughter, Emma, is in Orlando at the University of Central Florida. She is good.

    Erika Jelovsek lives in Venice, FL. She went to California on a previously planned trip.

    i haven't heard from Darcy Boerio or Cody from Scanco this morning. They were both good last night. Darcy did lose power.

    @Robert Wood, you are close to my father-in-law in Summerfield & he lost power mid-afternoon, but otherwise said things were like a bad winter storm in the north. Hoping it didn't do too much damage & things are restored soon!

    Practically neighbors. The storm wasn't too bad up here. Rained really hard. The winds weren't too bad really.
    Farther south though got nailed. Milton was throwing off tornadoes like I've never seen down there.
