It hit in my area early Friday morning and luckily I got away with no damage. Some of my neighbors weren't so lucky. A house down the street from me was struck by a tree and partially collapsed. We're still largely without power and finding fuel becoming difficult. I suspect it will be several more days at minimum without power.

Oh mate that's terrible. Cat 4 is no joke. I've been through cat 2/3 here in Aus and that was terrifying enough). Stay safe in the aftermath.

Appreciate it! Still without power but most of my area has it back now. Luckily I had a little generator out in the garage so I'm doing well all things considered!
