Libby,
First let me offer my condolences for the loss of so many pets....This has been a Tough enough Year for you.....
Hopefully by now you have power and are able to start rebuilding..Luckily Ivan is not near us....W don't need another...Pres. Bush was here the other day handing out ice & water..Hopefully he saw what Pt.St.Lucie,Ft.Pierce,and 35 Other Counties Endured....
I just got My power back after 8 Days!!!
My House is Soooooo Dirty & moldy smelling....But we are very fortunate...We sustained No damage......
How is your Dad???? I know he is Near me.....
My store opened on Wed......Had to go to work w/ No shower since last Sat. morning....Yuck...We have been diving in the Green Pool....Yuk!!!
The houses in My area took a real beating.....But very spotty....one house will be completely trashed...and the one next to it....not a thing out of place....Very Strange....I took my dogs out as The Eye went over us...(We had a 4 hour window)...It was Frightening....Absolute Quiet...not even a frog or cricket churping...
Eerie.....
We have spent the week helping our neighbors put their roofs back on,pull their rugs out...and punch out their dry wall so the water can run.....
This has been Soooooo Tough on Everyone in Florida.....
Hope you are getting back to some sense of normalcy....
