Sarasota, Florida was the hardest hit than all in the storm, ever.
The storm landed around 2am and between 3am to 7am was the worst one.
Winds whipped as much as 70mph, many customers has no power, phone and cable service almost all day. Torandoes reportly in different areas. Over 500 power lines was reportly down, more than 100,000 with no power. FPL is working to restore them as now.

We had two power outages and it was a crazy one, we have few big trees falling down front of our door and it was scary. This is our first time hurricane force winds that whipped 70mph. Heavy rain was here since last night.
Thank god we are all safe, happy and dry now!!! We had much rain, about the time!
