Effectively, this was just a wind and rain event for us with no power outage at all.  Our 
electric company (TECO) recently replaced all of the power poles along our main street, 
and probably did some upgrades as well.  Whatever they did seemed to work.  This is 
the first time that a rainstorm didn't take us down at all.

Today we got a little residual rain, but no much.
