Dan, checking in . This is the first day we've had power since last Saturday night. Again, we were in the Southern eye wall, but only for about 5 hours. This time though, we were dealing with a CAT 3 storm instead of a CAT 2. West Palm has some damage, mostly right along the coast and of course mobile homes blown apart. As you proceed north through the Gardens and then Jupitor, damage begins to get worse. Thats only 14 miles away. Ft.Pierce, Port St. Lucie, all took some big time hits but the worst of all is the devistation in Vero Beach, on the northern part of the storm. Large homes and condo's just blown to pieces, flooding, like you wouldn't believe. Some parts, along the coast line were scoured. As you keep going north, the destruction just doesn't stop. From Miami Dade County all the way to some where north of Melbourn, power lines are down. Dade and Broward Counties are just about all restored, Palm Beach County will be fully restored by October 8, and the next county north of Palm Beach County, probably sometime mid October. Beyond that point, all bets are off. The Vero Beach area probably won't be fully restored before early to mid November depending where you live and just how much damage there is to infrastructure. . It's just unbelievable. Floridas tourist industry is at a vertual stand still. 100's of millions of dollars lost this year because all the tourist left the state and went else where. Florida is no longer the Sun Shine State, it's now the Plywood State. I have declaired an official end to Summer and to Hurricane Season. We survived Hurricane Season 2004, only by the will of GOD. Anyway it's good to be back online with you guys
