How did our Florida and SE US family make out? Helene came out of nowhere. Have some friends in the Carolinas and Tenn that got absolutely slammed.

    No major issues in SE Fla that I am aware of.

    oh, it was ugly... 54 inches outside the house, 46 inches of seawater inside the house... main issue is that Helena at the speed it was caused a huge 'wake' that went to 10' of surge, which is probably a 10,000-100,000 year anomaly... Our entire neighborhood of 1950's homes were catastrophic losses, and the saltwater is pervasive and if you can use a fire hose to wash your house out, you best do it, the salt vapor destroyed things, even stainless steel things, a month later in the garage that were above the water and after I had hosed and power washed the epoxy floor.. the salt vapor just oozes our of every nook and cranny... we are now living in the distillery office, I have new drywall in, and hope to be textured and painted next week, and hopefully the new porcelain tile will be in next few weeks after...

    Bad luck. Where we live so far down south, we have no idea what it is like. It's completely foreign.

    Well, glad to hear you are OK, hopefully insurance covered enough to clean up and rebuild. Brutal.
