Dan and Jean,
Gald to hear you guys are OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have been in our thoughts and prayers the last few days! Just knowing that you were in the path.
Carol's folks live just north of Lake Wales, and that area got hit real hard - lots of tree damage, and of course, mobile homes just ripped apart.
We went up yesterday to help out, but there is nothing to do without the power and water, so we brought them back down here. They fared pretty well, with just the fallen trees. No damage to their home. The area is without power and will be for at least several days. Power poles just sheared off 20-30 feet above ground, really amazing! Hundreds of them! We even saw some metal building parts hanging from some of the wires that were still up. Looks like a war zone!!!!!!!!!!!
How about a status report from some of the others over on the west coast, and central Fla.? I know Eng. Ed and family dodged the bullet. We see all the news about Punta Corda, but I know we have other members of our Cobra family all over the affected area. I spoke with Mike Dunkle (new Member) yesterday, over in the Merritt Island area, and he like Dan, had some screen damage.
The good news is that at least there was some warning, even if the sum***** changed direction at the last moment.
Hopefully, all faired well and we can reminisce our experiences at the Reptile Roundup III.
