I hope everyone makes it through this storm! I was just thinking about all the sps tanks I admire down there, and the predictions for power outages is insane. Good luck to anyone down there and anyone who has family down there like me. I am about to go turn on the TV to check the updates this mourning.

Yeah I got my brothers and mom in Tampa who are coming this way to Melbourne Fl. It's going to get nasty in Tampa. I am going to have 50-70 mph winds when it hits. My family has multiple places on the island in Tampa so they were mandatory evacuated

Right now winds are 30+ miles an hour here and growing, I am hoping to keep power thru the night. Thanks for the best wishes everyone

We are safe thanks, unfortunately the storm turned for the worse and was supposed to head to Tampa, but it hit me in Melbourne instead. I lost the back fense, all 20 of my bannna trees, my kitchen flooded and we still do not have power. I do not have a buddy here, so I gave my tank inhabitants to the local fish store today. Unfortunately they could not hold them for me, so I had to donate the fish and coral. Hoping to get power by Sunday. But my family is well and I am in good health so I am thankful

Holla if you need frags to restock. I'm in Lutz and didn't lose power. I could donate quite a few frags to the cause!

I will definitely need coral and thank you so much for the offer. Power company is on my block now so hopefully today I will get the power back.
