The power is back on. So is the A/C and the refrigerator. Life in paradise is back to normal ... well it will be when we get everything back outside this weekend. |

We are OK. We had a few broken branches
on trees in the yard. Last night Alan, our neighbor was given a
generator and he is letting us run an extension cord to our place so we
have a few lights and a fan. FPL estimates we will have power back on at '11:45 on September 10' according to FPL's automated information service. There is power on the streets to the north and south of us. But the transformer that serves our street needs replacing and apparently there aren't enough people on our street to make us important. So we have to wait until Friday |

Check out Cuzncindy's email. And look at some pix. As you will see the weather wasn't too bad. But is was bad enough to blow down some trees and knock out the power to a significant number of Broward County residents, including us. :( | |

The wind is starting to pick up and it is raining now. This is another feeder band. Kind of a preview of what is to come tomorrow. | |

We're OK, but then the storm hasn't arrived yet. All of the outside stuff is inside, the shutters are up and inside looks like a dungeon. It was sunny before but it's clouding over now. So far we have had only a couple of rain showers but nothing of consequence. Wind speed is 17 mph. |
