Well, we made it through over here in Tampa also. had water everywhere,
I also had a bit of water come into the garage and the dining area of the house,
as both of them are about 6 inches lower than the main floor. The water came
up to within 3/4 of a inch of going on the main floor and that is as
far as it went.

Of course we had a switch failure and we were unable to get it back up for
the storm. Also had problems getting files shipped across the network to re-
build the switch, but going to get it done this week, so as to be ready for 
Ivan B-[

Y'all be careful and glad to see that people are crawling out from under stuff
and they are still alive.
