I have some pics for ya.

Like I didn't take enough yesterday right?
Here is my freezer full of ice in case the power went out we'd be able to keep it and the fridge cool for a few hours.

And here is the junk food and water filling the fridge because you can't really eat normal food during a hurricane.

And here is all the ice I made in tupperware containers and stuff that is now sitting outside thawing in the 89° temps today.

Still looking for online links to some of the news that happened south of me.
There is a mobile home park where authorities are guarding bodies while they wait for the fire department and morgue workers to come.
It's very sad how none of them were warned properly and actually told they would be safe where they lived and here I am with all this stuff that was never even used and has to be thawed out.

**UPDATE** I just talked to Solonor by phone. The emergency blogging system does work!!
He and his family lost power last night around 10pm and still don't have it back yet. He said there is very little yard debris. A few trees here and there and fence came down so all his neighbors could see all the junk in his back yard. (heh) But he said he and his family are all fine and not to worry. He will post as soon as the power comes back on and not to worry. They are good.
