Default I'm back....again...

Just a quick note to say I just got back home...I took off for points north and west last Thursday to dodge Frances... spent 3 days in Pensacola, 3 days in Biloxi and 1 day in Tallahasee...luckily my power came back on just 2 hours ago from last Saturday...my Vette is fine but there is much more damage to the property... I hope everyone is OK...looks like Ivan may be next...

Hiya Dan. Know what ya mean. Charley came ashore in Bokeelia which is 15 miles as the crow flies from my house. Many of my neighbors' houses got hammered! I was blessed with just a huge tree falling and one shingle missing. My storm shutters a paying for themselves.

My Mom lives there in Deltona too, she just got power back from Frances day before yesterday. I was in MD, but drove right through it when it was a tropical strom near Tampa. I was in my 540i. My old C3 would have been a miserable ride in that weather.

I'm an Andrew survivor. If Ivan looks as bad and heads this way, I'm hauling butt back to MD!
