So did everyone's rides/homes/families make it out of the storm OK? I was driving down on the Super Street tour during the hurricane. We were in southern Va and NC during the entire thing. The roads were covered with leaves and branches and stuff. The rain was really bad, but everyone traveling in my group made it out ok. Some of my friend's didn't have power in Maryland for 4 days.... Hope everyone else is getting back up to speed by now.
