Thanks for the kind words.

My parents currently live in Wellington in West Palm and they decided not to shack up for this one.

Back in '92 I lived in Gables by the Sea off of Old Cutler Road in Pinecrest Area.

That was so below sea level that after the Hurricane in 92, that I renamed the neighborhood Gables Under The Sea.

Ridiculous. Everything was covered by about 9 feet of water. The Military had so many checkpoints set up around my neighborhood so you had to pass through these checkpoints and they would escort you to your house or in my case what was left of it. (A TOTAL LOSS) I remember there was a National Guard Soldier sloshing around in my house escorting my father and I. We had a big fish tank in the house that didn't break because the water level came up and eventually went back down and this tank was so big and heavy it was covered in all the muck and mud after the storm passed over several days later. This Military Soldier was stepping around with his gun over his head and stepped on my fish tank. It obviously broke but he couldn't see it because he was up to his lower waist in mud. So I remember he stepped out of the tank and scrapped his whole leg and it actually ripped most of his skin off of his leg. I had never heard someone scream so loud and never seen so much blood before at the time. He grabbed his radio and we all got airlifted out. This guys leg was hanging in several pieces. Real bad scene. But that was the devastation level in my neighboorhood. It was almost to the point that Marshall Law was enstated.

So let us pray nothing like Andrew resurfaces and a fluke Hurricane isn't spawned over the next 24-48 hours. But I honestly beleive this will be a tease.

Good Luck to all in S. Florida and Go Canes. C Ya on Monday night!
