Hi Ken!

I hope the pool on picture 1 is not yours... and I hope the boat in picture 3 is not yours too... and I hope the car on picture 6 is not yours also... and I hope the building in picture 7 is your working place! This would mean you have a few days off to relax a little bit...

Should Jim fly us all down there to help cleanup/rebuild. We would make the news and bring attention to our hobby.

It is quite amazing that man can't even produce a little amount of the destruction caused by mother nature.

Ken, the pictures are horrifying. I'm so glad that you made it through ok with your health. There's so many things that I love about Florida, and there are so many things that are keeping me from moving down there.

I have friends that have left MA to go to FLA for health reasons and they tell me that they feel so much better down south. But, where do ya move to that isn't at risk of being blown away every other weekend? How do ya live with dogs and have rattlers and alligators in your back yard? And lets not even get into Fire Ants! My wife is a waitress, so I'm sure there's a gazzillion places to work for her, but what's the sense if you gotta sweat the load every time a storm comes in?

I am so glad that you and your family survived this one. The pics look like our area after Charley hit us. Take care Ken.
