Florida Conchers - Check in Post Wilma

HowardE · Oct 25, 2005

As most people down here don't have power... I figured everyone should post when they are back up and OK. We have no damage to report to our property or our store. Our store does have power (and internet) but still no water.

I shot this yesterday from our apartment - it's the Broward County School Building -

I hope everyone else was as lucky as we were.

Life is good, the generator is purring, the water is back on, the boats afloat, the roof isn't leaking and all the windows are in place. I just heard from a neigbor that Publix is open, maybe they should take over disaster relief.

Publix is open on Andrews ave. downtown FLL. We're opening now, and have water, soda, juice, cigarettes, and snacks.

Glad to hear people are ok.

We're all still out of power and phone in a lot of areas, the flooding was pretty bad but everyone down this way is doing fine!

More later!

I've tried Colin's cellphone and VOIP. No luck on either. He's in Ft. Myers. I know the cell companies sometimes have generators so their clients still have service, but if towers are down, or the main is wrecked, they're offline. We just got a lot of rain for the day up here. I have family in Cocoa and the Cape we haven't heard from yet. The insurance co I work for says West coast, Miami area seems to have the most damage calls coming in.

Ft Myers has lots of power outages (as it seems most of FL) - some parts are back up and running. IHOP next to the river was open for breakfast this morning - long line (and they only had 2 options), and only a few traffic lights are working - sheriff's are out in force directing traffic. Not sure hat happened down the coastal bits.

We are alive! What a ride! No power, no 'net... we're at Kris's (KBulla) work to shower and get presentable again after 2 days of post 'cane work. I've got much more ahead, she gets to work tomorrow... my cell is in my sig, service is spotty but I get messages... call or text if you get a chance! Catch yawl again in a while...
