Digesters,Ted, Ryan, Jim G, Hofs and all who sent personal messages, thank you for your concern.
Its been a rough few days, but we made it through. We now have power after having none since the storm, and the cleanup begins. Our damage is minimal.

From 20 to 100 miles east of us, the devastation is incredible. Up until the turn eastward at landfall, the storm eye was on track to pass right over my house. Instead of the 130+ mph eyewall winds we expected, we "only" got 80 to 100 mph winds.Glad everything turned out as well as it did, and your power is back on this soon.
