The American Red Cross is asking for monetary donations to purchase food and water for the victims in south Florida. They will be without power for up to 4 weeks. The contact number is 1-800-HELPFL1. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have not been able to contact Smitty. She was at ground zero on landfall.
I'm headed to Hardee Co. with supplies for my brothers and help with clean up! Thanks

11:30AM Thursday, I was told to "Get the Hell outta Dodge". Evacution Zone A.

So, I packed up the Jeep with what I thought I would need to start all over again. 8-14'tidal surge & I live about 3' above sea level. TV, computer, all my rifles, files, a couple of fishing rods, the Fax, some clothes...Hit the bank on the way out, kissed all my crap good-bye, and drove 200 miles to the east coast. Got there at 4AM, dead tired and unloaded. Got up at 9AM and started watching the news.

Channel 6 News "Hey Y'all...Guess Whut... She's a turnin'...If your near Orlando.. Get the Hell outta Dodge!!!!

Crap! I'm only 50 miles east of Orlando.... and St Pete was 120 !!!!!!!!!!

To late, rode it out there and had to wait till Sunday for the roads to clear to come back home.

This was my 4th one in less than 10 years, it's getting kinda old.
