I think they made a good call not to have school today. I can't imagine kids who take the bus going through this.
I have a lot of plants in my yard. Looks like a mini tornado touched down in my yard, split a few butterfly bushes I have. Couldn't see any other plants touched around it from my window, and there are a lot of plants. I have a lot of pine trees on one side of my house, just hoping they don't come down anywhere but within the lot they are in. Not sleeping in my room tonight...den is on other side of house. Listening to it outside and hoping I don't hear any unwanted sounds.
Happy to say everyone I know down in Florida is just fine. Some have had their power restored already. My sister never lost power in Miami, one of the lucky few. Lucky in more ways than one not to lose power...she has 5 teens... She's already been to a Publix with a generator. She lost her fence...lots of fence. No biggie, except the bill to replace.
A cousin lives 5 blocks from Jax Beach. Just heard he had no damage...amazing considering how DT Jax was. Aunt and Uncle live in WPB right off the ocean, they are in Cali just heard their house is fine...amazing!!!
I am thankful all the people I love and care about are fine!

Reason: updated
Dist 55 has now closed schools for tomorrow due to power outages.
That 12 cents/kWh looks alot better now, eh?
Laurens Electric reports out of 56383 customers, there are 2635 (4%) who are without power. Most seem to be south of Cross Hill, near the Newberry line, where I hear a church steeple blew off.
I've had a few flickers.. UPS reports a few overvolts and undervolts.. But no outage. I presume that's due to other people losing power, perhaps, and everything switching over.
Interactive damage report map via NWS GSP office (you can report damage/pics to the National Weather Service by including "#nwsGSP" in a tweet if on Twitter, or on their FaceBook page; be sure to leave a note about when and where/near occurred/seen too). (Map only shows GSP coverage area I beleive).
