I am battened down on South Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce, FL.
Has been rough since last night. About 12" of rain thus far (2x more than they were predicting for the entire storm) and the worst is yet to come.
US 1 is closed and no way off the island at this point due to flooding. Plenty of supplies and no loss of power. Despite being on the east coast we have been hammered.
As the eye passed to the west it should get worse. Schools closed at least through Tuesday in all the local counties.
Has been 8 tornado warnings for the county (4 very close to where we are).
Everyone in the area be safe.

Hunkered down a bit South of you in Palm Beach Gardens - agreed, it has been quite a weekend and far from over yet. We are still getting hammered and based on all the thuds I've heard on my roof, am expecting lots of trees down at a minimum. - and good luck to anyone who parked their car outside.
74% of Palm Beach County is without electricity; mine went at 2 pm. Tropical storm winds expected through tomorrow afternoon. Saw on the news that Fort Pierce had quite a bit of flooding.
Definitely don't expect MIA, FLL or PBI to reopen tomorrow and wouldn't be so sure about Tuesday either.

Here is my dilemma, I have a return flight to FLL to check for damage at my house scheduled for Tuesday through ATL. FLL is closed at least through Monday and who knows what ATL will look like. I also have a flight from FLL to SLC (via ATL) scheduled for Friday the 15th and an overnight return from LAS to FLL on Monday night/Tuesday morning.
If FLL opens Tuesday, I may be able to reroute through MSP or DTW to avoid ATL, but who knows what delays may look like. If I can't get back Tuesday, or it looks like I might not be able to get back in time to to get out again Friday, I would need to do a bunch of reshuffling and I'm not sure how much would be covered by change waivers, etc.
I would need to cancel my current return flight to FLL, change my flight from FLL to SLC to depart from OMA not FLL (who knows if that would be covered) and I would likely cancel my trip to LAS to get back to FLL earlier, which would require changing the return to be from SLC. All of these are one way tickets.
I hope I can just get back to FLL on Tuesday but at the moment it isn't looking that promising.

And I hesitate to even mention some of the latest thoughts on what Hurricane Jose is going to do.

The predominant sound after the storm passed was the hum of generators sitting outside all the houses in our neighborhood. Many neighbors, including us, shared generators as one generator and a handful of extension cords worked just fine for 2-3 houses.

Homes with a generator fill up in times like these so I would expect those enjoying generator power is double if not more than the percentage of households actually owning one.

76% of Broward is without power and 81% of Miami-Dade. Despite all the pre-planning of recovery assets, it's going to take a while for FPL to restore in meaningful numbers since the storm is still moving upstate.
And I hesitate to even mention some of the latest thoughts on what Hurricane Jose is going to do.

If FLL can't open back up before I'd need to be leaving again, I hope DL would be understanding about some of these other flights. I'd have 7 segments all needing to be changed but only a few involving airports with waivers.

My power was just restored. Never been so happy to be awakened at 3 am in my life.

Jose is certainly a concern. If I can get back at all, I would like to. Just to see what (if any) damage there was. I do know my home lost power around 5pm ET but I do not know if it has come back.

Re: Airports
PBI reopens this afternoon at 3:30 pm
FLL is assessing for damage and hopes to re-open on Tuesday
MIA did experience damage and hopes to re-open on a limited schedule Tuesday
Note that not all roadways are passable and many traffic lights are down.
Most curfews have been lifted or will be lifted by Noon today. Palm Beach County will maintain a dusk to dawn curfew.

So Delta is cancelling 800 flights today and WN is shutting down in ATL at 1:00 or so.

I am returning from LAX to HSV on Wednesday. I think I am going to roll the dice and travel as planned, hoping that ATL will be recovered by then. Of course based on recent history of ATL recoveries from outages, most likely I will be tragically wrong.
It's good that the damage from the storm seems to be far less than originally projected.
