The post is deleted; not sure if you meant to do that. Since you are the poster, you can see the deleted post; it looks greyed out. I have moderator superpowers, so I can see it, too.
I copied your photo links from the deleted post and posted your pics below.
Thank you, WTG!
Why do my photos look so dark until I click on them?
Happy to hear you are doing well Daniel.
My Uncle's place in Hernando Beach got hit. It's the worst storm he has experienced since moving there over 10 years ago.
His text to me last night...
No power yet so using generator on/off to keep house fridge cold & use pressure washer to clean up. Also using Boat fridge & freezers for food in ground floor freezer. We had storm surge lapping at the threshold to front door & about 2’ in all of lower level. We are fine & very grateful because so many others are far far worse. Had to rescue John next door as water came in his house 3-4 feet & will likely be condemned. Same thing for Scott & Kerri who has 5’ in their house & will now live in their boat. Will bring our cars back from Spring Hill tomorrow. Boats are fine & back at docks. Pool & yard are a wreck & we’re definitely re-thinking the use of mulch 🥴 On the bright side we’re finally getting rid of junk in the garage!!! Dumpster arrives tomorrow.
Will send pics soon - too tired now to do it now…
and an update from last night.
We are really tired putting in 12-15 hrs a day. Cleaning up a helluva mess. Our upper level is un scathed. The garage, workout room and yard looks like someone took a hardware store and dumped the whole thing into our lower level then threw mud, mulch and wet cardboard chunks all through it, then took a giant mixer and turned it on high speed. Our yard, driveway and porches now have about 6” of mulch seaweed, kids toys, telephone poles or dock posts strewn about, tree branches, and broken bits of docks, lost lumber, storage chests, and just about anything that floats.
Oh and let’s not forget a bunch of oil from somewhere that has now stained several large spots on our driveway. On the bright side a really nice grey kayak drifted into our demolished banana garden! With all that said, We feel lucky because many of our neighbors will likely have their homes condemned and will need to move out. There were boats strewn all over the streets, large chunks of debris that bashed through garage doors and even peoples front doors, docks ripped apart, and bars and restaurants damaged beyond repair.
Pretty lousy week for them. We can still come upstairs and relax after cleaning up all day. After only two days our electricity came on (about two hours ago). Ah life is good! Hope to see you soon
Some amazing photos!
It's so cool to see how far we have come since I was doing this. I just don't have the drive, time, or patience to do it again.
OMG SHOES! And FOUNTAIN PENS! 
I hope Mr. WTG heals quickly!
Sorry to hear about the issues you had with the process.
If anyone can set them straight, it's you. I wish you all the best in that endeavor!
Dewey! It's great to see you here!
I like this forum software a lot better than the groupee site.
We should move.
I like the new software. It's been proven out over at TNCR.
More modern interface and more functionality.
And it's secure.
I would not mind it one bit if we switched to this software.
Ah! there we go! I kept getting an error when attempting to post.
Testing... tap tap tap... is this thing on?
