Hey all, just stopped in to update you all when I saw that I won the landscape challenge and happened to see this thread. I'm really touched to see that you guys care so much and that I was missed. I can't stay on long right now, but will give everyone a more complete update later. Suffice to say we my family and I made it through a very scary storm okay. I've been through a few hurricane's but Wilma was the worst. There was some minor damage to my house...and my garden was thrashed, but overall we were lucky and came through okay. I'm so glad I invested in hurricane shutters this year. Anyway, we are without power for the forseable future so we packed ourselves up and headed to my in-law's house, where there is some power. Thank goodness for the cold front. The destruction on the trip up was something to see, especially on the shores of Lake Ocheechobee. However, everywhere in South Florida sustained some damage. The sugar cane fields were wiped out, and we saw some of those giant power towers down on our way up here. That is what is going to delay the power resortation to my area. I was something to see that twisted metal, and the heavy duty power lines laying across the road. I can't stay on for long, but will check in when I can. I'm using someone's laptop right now...how do you people type with these things??? I'm glad Brenda didn't get it too bad this year, and that Ray's son and Marlene's mom are okay, though stuck in that area. I saw mile long lines for gas and heard that when it got dark and curfew took effect, those still in line had to leave without even getting any. I know food is scarce in places too. I saw a good bit of damage before I left Boca. I hope they weather things okay. More later and thanks again guys. I'm not sure when I'll get back on, but it will be soon. And a special thanks to Joe who managed to track me down through my work and made a call. I'll call you soon! :) My best to everyone talk to you soon. --Kort =]
