Well I guess Im as close to ground zero as as you can get with out taking a direct hit. It missed by just a few miles. The beach front of course took a pretty good lick, thats to be expected. The buzz word here is; "It could have been so much worst." The speed that it came thru had a lot to do with mitagating damage. At near 15 miles per hour it seem over in no time. There is going to be a lot cleaning up to do, so whats new. Only one death here has been reported so far as I know,(tree fell on a car). Still one too many and our harts go out to the family. On a brighter note the relief coordenation is some thing to marvel at, thoes guys had to be sitting in the starting blocks waiting for the go signal. I swear the crews were here befor the wind died down. On a personal note Id like to thank all the folks that expressed concern and held a good thought for us who chose to live on the windy side. Maybe Ive been hit by one too many Clauser minnos or just getting on in years, but Ive become convinced that good thoughts have power beyound tangable measure. Outside of our obvious lack of driving skills without benifit of stop lights, we're all doing ok putting things back in order and even some loose speckulation of how the fishing will be, post hurrican.
