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!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole

I saw on the news the caravans of power trucks heading to Florida. It is amazing how this country can be mobilized to help out where it is needed. Nicole, I am so glad you and the dogs are safe and that you did not sustain significant damage.

Thanks Rachel,
There were Rescue Organizaions...(Not Just Pets)
From as Far as Washington State....
and Yes, it is Amazing how All Good People Pull together...
There was so Much damage around us...My Fiancee is a Custom Home Builder....With the contents of our garage I think you could build a house......So he has been helping neighbors all week...Putting roofs,walls,fences,etc. back up....he had about 10 rolls of roof paper...and as many roofing staples...and nail guns...so if he couldn't fix the stuff himself,he has been loaning out supplies so others could fix their homes...He is such a Good Man.....
We almost felt guilty that we didn't have more damage....
Strange but True......

I saw Libbys' Note..(Foxgal)....I hope she is on her way to repair....I hope that All other Pet Talk Floridians are alright...

Again Thank You,
Nicole

Glad to see you back, Nicole!!

I think we passed some of those Michigan repairmen on 75 last Sunday...as we were heading to the Dog Park gathering in Findlay we passed about 15 Detroit Edison power trucks and I said, they are off to Florida!

IDon't feel guitly your house didn't have damage...I'm sure the reason was so that John could have his supplies and could help your neighbors.

I'm so gald to hear you are ok and have POWER now. I'm hoping that might mean my Father's place has or will be getting power soon too. I though about you during all this and prayed that everything would be fine. Luckly my Father left Port St. Lucie, so all my paryers where coming your way.

The First thing I did was Take a Shower!!!!!!!!!

Oh how I know that feeling. You never knew just how good a hot shower can really feel intill you go several days without one. All the simple things in life that we never really thought about before, all of a sudden become so special.

That's wonderful how he's helping out the neighbors, he's a good man, for sure. Times like this bring out the good in all and it sounds like he has a LOT more good to share.

I saw Libbys' Note..(Foxgal)....I hope she is on her way to repair

Thanks for thinking about me, we are doing fine and on our way to some sort of normal life. Of course normal to us now is piles of trees and branches in the yard and green pool water. LOL We are waiting to do any major repairs for now, just patch the damage and wait till the weather, time and cash are in our favor.

Ivan might hit the "hot air" stream then go right through florida hitting Okechobee and nearly ALL of Florida! if it doesn't hit then Tallahasse will get it..

[delidog]

Its' Alright....For Once Central and Eastern Florida is Safe...
Ivan The Terrible is heading up the Gulf.....
I would be Much more nervous if I lived Anywhere in the Panhandle,Louisiana,Alabama.....
Ivan is a Viscious Storm...Has Killed 60 already in the Islands....
It Ravaged Jamaica.....Its' going toward Cayman Islands now....
A Category 5 is Most Unusual.....
ISincerely Hope that it dissipates on its' way up the Gulf....The Warmer waters there make me nervous for those people however.....
Good Luck Panhandle Residents.....We'll be thinking & Praying for you...

I am so glad that we're not in danger any more but feel very bad for those that are. I wish he would just go away and leave everyone alone. He's done enough killing now. Geez.

[delidog]

I hope that Ivan The Terrible Just Blows Away....
Nowhere in Florida do we Need His Rath!!!!
