Hurricane Matthew, October 2016

Hurricane Matthew, Category 4, moved parallel to Florida coast on Thursday, October 6, 2016. It passed us in Port St Lucie perhaps around midnight.  The impact to us was minimal. We did not lose power, we did however lose both Internet and local broadcast channels for 2 days, and additionally we lost some fruit trees.  Even though the impact was minimal, it still took several days for us to clean up the yard.  Hopefully we will continue with only cleanup and loss of fruit trees in the future in this hurricane prone state!
