Yeah I have 3 people staying with me now that live in Okechobee, because they can't go back home yet. And my Friend that lost part of her roof is also in Okechobee, closer to Ft. Pierce way. I know her house can't take another hit.

My friends called FPL and they told them that power will be off till the 19th. Does you grandmother or friend have power yet? That just seem to long to get power back on. Some power was on the other day, but then yesterday they turn it all off again and then said it would be the 19th, now.

I hope your friends will be alright through Ivan. Hopefully if it hit the west cost it will break up some before it get this way. Fingers crossed. I wish it would just go some place else, not that I want anyone else to get hit, it's just we've had our fair share of hurricanes.

We need to find a state that's safe and all move. If I could just take cold weather, I'd do it. But I hate snow!!

I think our tags for cars should now say "the hurricane state" with a hurricane in the middle in stead of the orange. There's no more sunshine in Florida, it's just rain and wind.
My GrandMothers house is GREAT besides the roof to her Plant House thing and her roof is missing a few tile things... Then they're friend Tony's house last Hurricane from when I was inleast 4-6 tore down his house! this time he was only missing a tree lol! He had o much trees anyhow! lol! Then ashley's (my friend) house is fine execpt here chimney! And she has the new FAB look for the Shed! lol ! All the walls on the Shed are gone! Here outside dog Kane(a pit bull) is GREAT! But her father had been building on and the roof was TOTALLY gone from the room he was adding on! I mean its not even anywhere in they're yard! then she also had inleast 1-2 feet of water in the room lol. Then at our house we lost some roof tiles! And my Dad had been fixing our ceiling where we had Black Mold at! !!

And yes we actually spen the night at my GrandMother's nad GrandFather's house, because we had to get out of this Swet Bucket office! And my mom had to check her Auctions on eBay.com.... So we spent a night there. Then only the eltric at our office turned on so we came back to the office!
