I usually stay off turnpikes and interstates when going to and come from the Keys pulling the boat, as the only advantage to turnpikes and interstates is the 70mph speed limit and I'm more comfortable with 60-65. I usually take 27, 27 Alt, and 19 from Ocala to Chiefland and through Perry. There's significant damage in the immediate vicinity of Perry. There was some scattered instances of fuel shortages, but a lot of tankers on the road so that wasn't a big issue. Thankfully hasn't affected the prices. Some timber damage about 25 miles north and south of Perry and a pretty bad structural damage in towns, but wasn't as severe as I expected. The cleanup and repairs seem to be progressing well. My thoughts and prayers are with them as I've been in their shoes myself

Hurricanes do amazing damage.
Hopefully people get their lives back in order as soon as possible.

Sounds like a cold beer beside the lake is in order.

How is the cleanup going? Are things getting back to some semblance of normal?

How is the cleanup going? Are things getting back to some semblance of normal? Not entirely certain, as I was just traveling through at the time. I'm a retired consultant forester and a friend that used to hunt with us on occasion called me a couple of days ago. Turns out he owns a tract of timber near Perry and was looking for options regarding salvaging some timber. He estimated between 15 to 20% damage on around 100 acres.
