I know the power was out..hope you get it back soon so you can tell us how you all are doing. I'm thinking of you all..my prayers and good thoughts still going your way. Hugs to you all!

BuilderMan Posted September 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Thanks for the kind words Belle! Florida is pretty well trashed from Frances at this time. Power is out all over the state including here on the west coast. I'm 60 miles south of Tampa and we had a lot of wind and rain last night. There are spotty areas without power here as well. We're pretty much in the clear right now although just north of St. Petersburg is getting hit pretty bad yet with the feeder bands. We'll get a few days off before we need to start watching and preparing for Ivan. :( Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanci Posted September 7, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Thanks for your good wishes and concern for us here in SE Florida. I am in Coconut Creek, which is NW of Fort Lauderdale/Pompano Beach. We were extremely lucky but it was a very long four days. Our homes were not damaged........but lots of trees down and debris. My power was only out for 12 hours -- we were lucky. My neighbors just 5 min. away were without over 20 hours and some still not restored. Now.........my mother & I are supposed to be cruising on the Celebrity Century next Sat. (9/11) to celebrate my mother's 93rd birthday !! How dare Ivan interfere with our cruise!! We will wait a few more days and make a final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he got back, early Sunday morning, he was actually surprised that he had power in his dorm (near 41 and Bradenton rd), as he said that a lot of the surrounding area was dark. I hope you guys, as well as everyone else in FL, get spared by Ivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosnobunny Posted September 7, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2004 My DD lives in Weston (Ft Lauderdale area) and they had some minor damage to their lanai, but other than that, they're OK. :D The storm shutters will stay on until they see where Ivan is going. :eek: Let's say a prayer that all the rest of our regular posters are safe.

BuilderMan Posted September 7, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Beth - Good news as far as the 11:00AM advisory goes from the Hurricane Center regarding Ivan! It looks like it may miss Florida and go further into the Gulf of Mexico! YEAH!! Let's hope it keeps on this track! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanci Posted September 8, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Greetings from Coconut Creek.......NW of Fort Lauderdale. I actually went swimming this morning but then it rained most of the afternoon. We have a lot of trees down and debris but at least our homes are safe. Mom & I are still planning on sailing Saturday (9/11) on the Celebrity Century. We are scheduled to go to Western Caribbean but after over 30 Caribbean cruises I don't care where we go! Just wish us calm seas and good weather ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
