I spent at least an hour in the eye of Milton. At one point, you could hear a leaf drop and the sky was strangely bright in all directions, though power was long gone. This was a 1:1000 miracle and could have annihilated the entire area. Had it not effectively shat itself before climbing on land, I suspect I'd be toast. Still a lot of tree and tree induced damage, but minimal major structural damages. We're forecast to be without power until the 17th and fuel lines exceed a mile, guarded by police. Not great, but beats the hell out of what was mysteriously avoided - the bastard was over 180mph at its prime and spawned more tornadoes than ever in history. Such 'luck' cannot persevere indefinitely.

It has since resumed with respectable consistency.
