Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 a, I'm so glad to hear that you're safe, and your property is relatively undamaged. I'm glad the tree didn't land on your house. It's extremely hard to live without electricity, and I'm glad you have it back on. I hope the hurricanes are over for this year, anyway.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 To all of my fellow Floridians hope all is safe and well, we had a lot of downed trees and one of my cars was under one of the trees but all of us are safe and sound. No power for days, a lot of people still do not have power. My son has been wonderful though out all this my husband was in the hospital recovering from major surgery when the hurricane hit. My son with the help of his friends put up all of our hurricane shutters even insisting on doing our second story, we were so lucky he did the room where my daughter sleeps was hit by flying tile and went crashing into the shutters wow!!! We are one of the lucky few we have our power and computer back LOL school will be out for the n ext week and was out this week. Anyway I hope all of you that went though Wilma are safe.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Thanks ... It's up to the Red Cross where I go exactly, but it could very well be Florida... I just want to help. My ex husband got stranded in Mississippi trying to help some family get home, and it was horrible for him. I really am glad you're safe. My son's grandparents in St Pete are safe too thank God.
