Anyone see how Key West fared now that the eye has passed them?

Looks like they took the western edge of the eyewall. Not good but maybe better than the NE quadrant.

Haven't seen any news reports of what the city looks like post eyewall passing.

We were in a stilt house too. Water came halfway up the stairs.

Summerland Key is bad too.

Roof half blown off. I used to live in that apartment building. I think I posted it in malaise's thread.

Summerland Key looks bad; I just posted that.
