Onward to Gainesville

I had planned to go to Gainesville, Florida to visit the younger heir at U Florida.

A little thing like a hurricane wasn't about to stop me. 

I flew into Jacksonville after an hour delay due to aircraft repositioning to avoid the hurricane yesterday.  Overall a good flight with a decent amount of turbulence even as the pilots routed around the remains of the storm. Jacksonville appeared practically untouched and it was an easy drive to Gainesville.

Gainesville didn't get hit by much except for winds that have knocked down trees, power in areas, and many traffic signals.

Aside from that, luckily the area is pretty unscathed, unlike other areas in Florida that took the brunt of it and some serious damage.

Pigpen51: Thanks, its all good over here. Aside form some trees down (including some big ones) and some power outages, it's as if nothing happened. Looks like the return flight is on time, we will see.
