5. Thanks for your concern |
|
We are ok. It was a frightening experience. Our home is well built because it was constructed after Hurricane Andrew which caused lots of new rules to make homes safer. The devastation is almost unimaginable. The wind was just incredible! It was clocked at 174 mph at Charlotte County airport.
Our area looks like someone came in with a huge bush whacker and mowed everything down. Trees down, roofs blown off, quite a mess. Anyway, we are safe and hoping the electricity comes back on within a few days. Its very hot and humid and impossible to sleep.
Thanks for asking gang.

20. The devastation is unimaginable |
|
I'm at a location south of our home where there is power and have finally seen the local news people's broadcast and I could never have imagined such damage. Jeb is saying it is worse than "Andrew". Entire communities completely destroyed. Sanibel and Captiva islands have tremendous damage. Its going to take a long time to get back to normal. We are so thankful we are only suffering some inconvenience by having no electric and losing our landscaping. We were extremely lucky.

But at the same time, relief and happiness that your friend is physically ok.
I hope we continue to hear bits of good news in the midst of all the horrible damage.

Buckeyes' are good luck charms. Pilots carry them when they fly.
Keep us posted on your area if you can.
And here's another kicker :kick: to make your day:
"The Meeting of The Mouths" scheduled for today in Orlando was cancelled. Who were the "Mouths?" you ask. Why, Neil Boortz, Baby Jesus Hannity and some RW Humphreys dude I never heard of...
Looks like Charley said "Shut the Hell Up!" to those Mouths
Edited for poor punctuation skills....period

I was thinking about you as the storm made landfall. Up here in Volusia county, eastern Volusia got hit pretty good (Daytona) but we on the west side just missed getting hit by the eye (and 100+ mph winds), and so avoided the damage that you saw in southwest FL. Glad to hear that you will be back up and running next week.

25. Can't even imagine what you've been through. |
|
Thank God it's done its worst, and you're intact.
Your many listeners are thinking about you and your wife, hoping you can get your life back to normal a.s.a.p.
Hope after all the wreckage is removed, things will start looking like home again.
Oh, we'll all be right here! Can't wait 'til you're back on the radio, and internet. Your show's irreplaceable in our week.

33. Guy, so glad to hear you and yours are ok. |

It's a very strange feeling to be sitting here at home in what we were repeatedly and urgently told was the bullseye of this storm and to see the utter devastation throughout the state around us. We live in an A evacuation area, and fully expected that when we left and closed the door behind us that we would have no home to come back to.
There is no joy that we 'dodged the bullet' when so many suffered so much loss. But there are definitely smiles of relief as I go through the DU threads and see so many familiar Floridians' names pop up and let us know they made it through. Our daughter called this morning. She's arriving from Iowa tomorrow and will be one of the representatives assisting with insurance claims down your way. They told her to expect to be here in Florida at least 3 weeks. Just heard on the news another 20 Salvation Army units are being sent out, too.
True help is on the way, not just a *bush photo-op - "Look at me, I'm riding around above the destructeration in a helicopter because I care. Hey, you guys, what's this little silver knob for? Can I wiggle that stick thing? hunh? can I? I'm a pilot, too, you know. Come on, it's my turn." Sorry, can't resist any chance to take a jab.
I send my best wishes to all who suffered any loss to this storm, and hopes for strength through what it will take to put their lives and communities back together.
Thank you for taking the time today to let us know you made it through. So many of us share in the relief of hearing that news.
