Title: Start checking in
Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on October 24, 2005, 01:24:29 PM
Let us know who you've talked to and who you haven't and how they are making out.
1) BBF roof damage, tree damage, and lost solor panels. Talked to him around 10;30
2) Shadowman is ok but not sure of the exterior damage yet still in heavy winds.
3) Dreth has some tree damage and otherwise ok I think, His nextel was breaking up pretty bad.
4) Big Daddy has fence damage and tree damage but ok otherwise.
5) Purelogics seem ok. From the pic they posted it looks like someone left them a new garbage can.  ;)

Just talked to Shortcut and Kawgirl. They faired ok. They have no power but no serious damage either. Can't get BBF and Nos on the phone but I think they're ok just don't know about damage.

I've tried to reach Sheldon as well and the call won't go through.  I've talked to a friend of mine that also lives in Port St. Lucie and the cell coverage was very bad.  So it might be awhile till we can reach BBF.

Ft Pierce, Port St Lucie still having bad cell connections.  Storm put us out of power.  The hummmmmm of the generator is hypnotic.  No real house damage this time.  Lots of downed branches, but trees are upright.  Indian Joe is going to be putting in some long hours for the next week or so.  On the bright side, I "rode" my ATV today.  Put the cart behind it and started on limb detail.

Glad to hear you folks made it through. I was chatting with Mike yesterday morning around 6 am but hadn't heard anything from him since

Hope everyone down that way is allright.Listening to the news on the way
to work and said a prayer and thanked God for the weather up here.After
getting ran out of the Keys last month when Rita came through this was like
Deja Vu.

i'm worried about klutchbuster and gery350. I dont think they have been on since the storm and I remember jesse telling me that there roof was broken.  Also doesn't wheelie boy live in the same area as them?


Title: Re: Start checking in
Post by: big-daddy on October 25, 2005, 08:21:20 PM
big-daddy check in, still on generator power. I,m lucky that I have a generator (40k) that powers the whole house and that it feeded by piped in natural gas. many people are running out of gas for there generators. all so people dont know that they have to break in the generator and change the oil on the first 10hr and after that even 50hr. The good thing is that we get to drive our ATV to the store and around town. drive by the police with no problem. ;D

as anybody heard from gery350?


Title: Re: Start checking in
Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on October 25, 2005, 08:33:06 PM
Not yet. I've been waiting to hear from either Gery or Klutchbuster. If any lives near them could they take a drive over and see how they're doing?

Ms.Mud just talked to Wheelieboy and he is fine they just have no power.

Talked to dreth tonight, still no power, no landline phone, and no internet, no ATVFlorida  :'(.  On the bright side, he said cooler weather is great, and having no power affords lots of time to get the yard cleaned up.  Family is doing good, no home damage.  He says "Hey" to everyone.  :W

What I want to know, and you didn't say dreth, are you cleaning up the yard from Wilma's destruction or is it hurricane 450R destruction (parts, red mud, rocks, straw)  ;D ;D ;D j/k

Hey I am ok lost a lot of shingle down here in the keys. All of our wood fence is down and power has been out for over 3 days. right now I am running my laptop on battery and getting internet through my cell phone.  All of the roads are blocked and the cops lost 17 cars in the storm.

Post by: BigDog on October 26, 2005, 12:44:09 PM
We did OK at the house, just lost a tree and some screen panels around the pool.  Power back on last night.  The business was a little different though.  2 of our convenience stores were totally destroyed in Belle Glade and we have another 6 around the lake with varying degrees of damage.  At least nobody was hurt though.

eveyone is in limited supply of gas in broward and dade. The problem is no transformer to repair electric. some are coming from GA and other states.FPL are fixing the quick repair to large areas first. My generator is suppling power to 2 other house at this time. Hate to see my next natural gas bill  :'( hang in there.

I'm here....Just got power back at the office this morning, but it might be Nov. 22 before I get power back at home  :'( Thank GOD I still have a job :ThumbsUp.gif
No damage to my house, dock, jeeps, truck, boat, trailers, or 4 wheelers  :)  Had alot to worry about  ??? oh and my 2 camps are supose to be OK?
I'm still in shock from that storm.....the second half I thought the roof was comming off  :o I can't believe we did not have any damage.  Our roof is made of 2x6 slats and they are awesome!  They don't make them that way anymore, its a shame, so much better than plywood  ;)
