Insurances have been cancelled for 90% of us, that includes flooding. I am a sitting duck. I stayed, as there was no evac order. Lost alot of shingles from the roof, many branches down. Electic on and off. Off our north end I can see the sky bridge, it is empty, no cars, still closed. off to the left in St. Petersburg I can see, they did get a tornado about 10 miles away as the crow flies. Nobody got by without some kind of damage. The middle of the state is worse. Sunny today, streets are drying out. I hope this darn house sells! ginnie
