you can see that I got off easy. news crews were all over, cnn, abc, fox, etc. I was in a few background shots... if you saw a scruffy hippie-looking giant in a red & black tie dye shirt and black knee-length shorts, you spotted a scottsquatch!
winds bent street signs too numerous to count, blew out windows and pushed over well-rooted trees. I've heard that there are 5 deaths so far, and I feel for their families.
I saw a guy with a cold soda-pop... I asked him where he got it... his joking reply was "the fridge, you can have my last one for $20"... I responded with "you know how much gougers got after hurricane Andrew? A 13-cent bullet behind the ear." His friend laughed, and I smiled when I said it.
I got a phone call from Wez, and she's doing fine, thank goodness, even has running water. nice to hear a friendly voice. she still has no power.
benefits of all the downed palms... free coconuts! finally, a use for my machete unrelated to home security!
