Power out was standard. I think 100% was out in Santa Rosa County 
where I am. It was about 50% in Escambia County just to the west and 
about 25% in Okaloosa County to the east. I got power back last 
Thursday night about 9pm, so that wasn't nearly as bad as I feared, 
but folks, no A/C in 100+ heat index for days on end will kill! The 
nights never got below 80 and the humidity at night was upper 80's, 
too, so it was unrelenting day and night. One of our cats died from 
the heat and Mom wasn't doing very well herself. I was able to get 
Mom into A/C for a few hours every day: in the car waiting in line 
for water and ice, just walking around in Walmart (once the power 
came back there), and eventually at friends houses as they started 
getting power back.

Anyway, I'm back and will now proceed to try to get game posts out. :)
