Monday in Boca Raton Noon after Irma

The latest update for us:

Grant and Bill are removing our shutters.  We never lost power.  We have intermittent cable and internet but still able to get internet from apple phone hot spot.  ATT suspended cellular data charges for the next week.  There is significant landscape damage in our neighborhood but not structural damage.  Miami Beach got slammed... But I think the worst is the Keys and Naples.  The city manager for the Keys said that at six months they might be 50% back.  They are not letting anyone into the Keys probably for several weeks.... They have shown helicopter footage of Keys and Naples.  Homes in Naples looked really bad from the air.

Mary weathered the storm well.  She had two ladies and three children to keep her entertained.  No damage at her house either.  There were only some trees behind her house that went down.

Friends, Arlene and Jerome Feen are staying with us.  They came up today because they lost power at their house.  Arlene is hard at work for all her clients at our kitchen table!

Trey, Annette, Gaby, KC and 9 week old puppy Cosmo did great!  Trey busy taking down the shutters while the girls are racing around outside on their scooters.  Everyone is just happy to be outside.  The winds slightly damaged their screen door...But that was it.

We are feeling totally blessed at what we escaped and praying for those who were not so lucky.  As of this writing, our shutters are down and all the outside things that were inside are back outside!  The landscapers came and removed trees blocking the road and cut down dangerous hanging branches from other trees.
