Did you miss me?

**dbflgirl** · 10-30-2005, 04:50 PM

Wilma was a wild ride. She hit here Monday morning as a category 3 hurricane and my town took the eye wall, which is the strongest part of the storm. We are lucky that our only damages are a downed fence, ripped out gutters, destroyed solar system (the panels were lifted up and transported by the winds), damaged pool fence, roof leak and downed trees. Our windows all held and everyone is safe. But we haven't had power or water since Monday and the electric company says not to expect power until mid to late November.

No estimate on water. There is only one tree still standing on my street and it is actually a Florida oak in my front yard. Schools were closed all last week and probably next week, too. It looks as though there has been a war -- there is debris everywhere -- trees, electric poles, transformers, traffic lights, you-name-it. Most gas stations don't have power, so getting gas is an hours-long project, as the lines are literally miles long in some cases.

We broke down and bought a generator yesterday, so now I can run the computer (I work from home, so this was a necessity), one refrigerator and a microwave. At night, we can plug in a light and the tv. It's pretty rudimentary, to say the least. And it takes about $30 per day in gas to run.

The gym has been closed and food is scarse so we've all been eating whatever is available. A few nights ago, dinner was cheese and honey roasted peanuts. Ack! I drove way up north to go to the grocery store today, thinking that there'd be more food in an area with power, but all I ended up with was more pb&j.

Glad to hear you made it through okay. Some folks may have been complaining about FEMA and Red Cross, but they really came through for my family in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. I hope you can get what you need to pull through.

I swear. This hurricane season is making my nerves bad and I'm not even down there. :scared1:

**NewSpawn** · 10-30-2005, 06:50 PM

**Peaked_18** · 10-30-2005, 07:10 PM

Welcome back!

Glad your fine.

DarkFalcon · 10-30-2005, 09:27 PM

Wow that sounds rough dbflgirl!

Glad to hear your family is safe and sound though since that's the only thing you can't replace. I hope you have a speedy recover and can get back to a normal life ASAP.

**A.FreeRadical** · 10-30-2005, 09:34 PM

Hey dbflgirl, I did missed you. I was wondering if you were in the zone and hoped that you were ok. I am glad to hear that nothing essential was lost. I wish you the best with recovering from the devastation.

Got your PM.. & I'm glad to hear that nobody was hurt...
sounds lyke your property damage was fairly minimal with the worst case scenario - being homeless...

I just knew you stocked up on can goods and sterno before Wilma arrived...

Glad you're ok & I also heard from RaSP today.. so it's been a very pleasant morning for me so far...

Peace..~G

RaSP · 11-02-2005, 12:46 AM

Just catching up with everything. Glad to hear you're OK. I had some servers located in Boca Raton that apparently didn't do as well as you did.

Oh well. Sounds like a lot of us have been having some off weeks.
