To all our members in Florida

[ApS]

Recent Irma comments off the web:

Canada?

"Many Canadian power companies have descended on Florida to help restore power as well. If you see Hydro-Québec, give 'em a smile and a wave for me."

Samaritans:

"So, emptied out the refrigerator this afternoon, and set out to attack the front yard. A pickup truck pulls up, and two good Samaritans--hulking young men--jumped out with their gloves on and rakes, and piled up the massive yard waste in less than 30 minutes. They would not take money, so I finally threw a wad of cash into the cab of their truck, and said: Donate this to your church.

"What they did---found a tree service, gave them the money, and the tree service is in my front yard cutting up the fallen palm tree and two others that are about to topple. I wept with relief and joy.

The storm has brought out the BEST of Floridians. Incredible."

Warms the heart.

Talk about a close call.....feeling very lucky today.
House in Cape Coral was right in the center of the storm but we made it through with no major damage.Three large trees down but no damage to the house or lanai.
Lots of leaves,palm fronds and debris on the lawn and power is out so we lost a little food in the freezer.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Keys and the islands that were devastated by the storm.

Like many others here, who have places in FL, I pray all his OK with your properties and no damage.

I have a place on Marco Island beachfront, and still waiting to hear from mgt. company on damage. Xing fingers.... We won't be able to get down there until Oct.

My brother is a permanent resident of Naples,I've made several calls to his home,
but as of yesterday had no response. he's located just off I-75.
Will call him again today.

I just saw a report that Eagles Nest Condos (beachfront) survived mostly unscathed. Not sure if you're in that vicinity or not.

According to Lee County Electric Coop it could take weeks for the power to be restored to Marco Island.

I'm located beachside near the Hilton hotel complex, have not heard from anyone down there on the extent of damages ?

I do know that South beach, especially at Cape Marco point got hit the hardest.

Gulfview i believe is up near the Residents beach, and may have escaped the worst, however it is a wide-open stretch there.....I believe Gulfview condos' are near the Crescent Beach condos', very expensive real estate !!!!

i can't imagine being in the South Seas Towers, on the upper floors.
My friend had a condo on the 20th floor, and on a really nice day, the wind would almost still knock you over !

Praying all in FLA get their power back soon.
