Well been an interesting week here in Hollywood Fl.
We got hit pretty hard in my area, lost power finally mon morning at my condo along with running water...so I headed up to my sisters up in boca raton at the boca inlet.
She had no power either but at least had running water and every 2 hrs they had the emergency generator in her building running to run the elevators for a bit and give us a place to charge cell phones and the like, thank god for my car chargers.
Spent 5 hrs wed in line for gas and got it after spending 6 hrs till they closed for curfew the day before with me just 25 cars from the pumps...grrr.
got power back at my condo in hollywood (southern broward county just above miami) wed so packed up the whole hurricance crowd and moved them all to my place. Today was only 1hr wait in the gas line, and actually drove over to the aventura mall to get milk and fresh meat yesterday.
Latest reports have 2/3 of miami dade with power now, and over half of broward county lit up and close to half of palm beach county with power now so we are recovering.
Where my sister is in boca which is the southern part of palm beach county looks like another 2-3 weeks without power so she will be at my place for the duration or at least until her trip to guatemala on the 10th.
I still have neither dsl or regular phone in my condo, but my neighbors across the hall have their phones back so I borrow their line for dial up a lil to do the daily reports for all the commodities clients
I'm currently out in west boca raton where my partner in the commodity trading is and am on his high speed. He should be back from Seattle Tuesday so checking out his house since the power came up for him.
all in all there was very little damage to me or my family, we were lucky ones...just a bit of minor water.
Hopefully all will be back to normal within several weeks, as it gets a little better each day.
