Unhappy Roll Call for Our Friends in Florida

As stated in a previous thread, us coastal residing Virginian's were lucky, once again...but some of our friends in Florida were not so lucky - it's plastered all over the news, Hurricane Charley took it's toll on Southern Florida.

How 'bout a "roll call" to see how some of our friends down South made out?? ...or didn't.

Thanks for the thoughts. We were lucky...this time 'round. We're on the southern East Coast.

We got 100mph winds in Orlando and a real mess. Be nice to have some power again! Strange thing is my house on Gwynns Island on the bay in Virginia got wacked by Isabel last September! I am 2 for 2 years!

Sorry to hear of the damage in Orlando Jim, tough luck...you have AT LEAST two years good luck coming, the way I see it.

Rob (Cupcar) what is your affiliation with Gainesville, Fla.?? I frequently visit there as half of my family lives down there...you have residence there as well??

If so, we'll have to catch up sometime.

Really!!!! Small world - I grew up in G-Ville actually and am back there and in St. Aug 3-4 times a year visiting family. I personally don't live there (yet!) - but as circumstances dictate (see the "just something to think about" thread) i am actively looking to relocate to the the N. Florida area with G-Ville as the prime target (we will see if the job comes throught that i am presuing.

Glad to hear everyone else on the list is OK -
we should time a family trip together - there are some good bars downtown and some awsome food. G-Ville is a great place to live.

Ok in Naples, but what was our good fortune was someone else's problem and I feel badly about that
