Nicole called tonight and asked me to let eveyone know they are okay.

Today was the first day they have had cell phone service. Still no running water, no electricity. The National guard is set up in the parking lot where she works so they can get water and ice. She said the worst part is going out to start the generator in the morning before she can even make coffee!

The animals all did fine through the hurricane. She said give them a few treats and all it right with the world. If only it were that easy for the humans!

Things are slowly getting better. The groceries stores are starting to reopen.

Keep Florida in your thoughts...drive Ivan away!!!

Did she mention how her house made it through? I cringed each time I heard the Weather Channel mention Port St. Lucie. :( I hope their damage, if any, was minimal. GO AWAY IVAN!!

Thank you so much for the update.
I hope her house is ok too.

Oh, I am so glad that her and the kids are okay.

Florida is in my prayers, and Ivan, please go away!

Thanks so much.

Glad to hear she is OK. Gonna have to try and call again ......

I'm glad to hear that everyone is safe.I hope the house escaped serious damage. Please keep us updated! Ivan, get out of here! Florida doesn't need you!

Thanks for letting us know that Nicole is OK. So glad her furbabies are too! :) Hope her house didn't get damaged!

Nicole, when you have a chance, check in and let us know how you're doing! :)

Thank you for the update, Amy. I have certainly been wondering about her since we last talked by PM. I had the feeling that they ended up "riding out" the storm, although I think she was ready to pack up and leave.

So glad you're ok, Nicolle!!!!! :)

I was beginning to worry but I talked to Amy yesterday after she had talked to Nicole and told me she was ok. But can you believe with all they are going through she still thought about me.
Nicole, your a wonderful person. Thank you.

I did not think to ask about her house specifically.

Ralph actually talked to Nicole longer then I did as I was on the phone with another friend when she called. He said that Nicole said most of the buildings/houses in the their area were okay, damages were to porches and such. She didn't really say if they had damage, but sounds like overall structure came through alright.

Glad to hear they're ok:)

I'm so glad they are OK. What a dreadful experience they and their neighbours are going through.

I cannot begin to say how much it means to me to read all your well wishes and prayers.....
We were one of the fortunate ones...no more than the inconvenience of not having modern technology...Our house did not sustain any damage....Thank God.....
but 100 ft. away....houses were destroyed...its' amazing how these storms pick and choose....
We got power last night at 8:12 P.M.....After 8 days...
and I must say...It was Power Trucks....15 of them....cutting trees and reconnecting downed power lines...that did it...but the most incredible thing was They Were ALL from MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!
So Amy I was Thinking of You.....We Thanked them for coming all this way to help...and brought them a case of water as it was about 98 degrees in the shade...even at 7:00 P.M....
So The First thing I did was Take a Shower!!!!!!!!! I couldn't Stand myself any longer!!!! Then I got on Pet Talk!!!! Go Figure!!!!
Again,I Cannot Thank All of You at Pet Talk Enough....You Really made me feel better.....
Thank You,
Nicole

Nicole, we are all just so glad that you, your home and furbabies (and John, too) came through okay! It is so upsetting to not know how things are going for people who have to live through such terrible things.

Nicole, I'm glad to hear that you finally have power and are doing alright.
