Checking in from Homestead, FL. Had some pretty impressive winds and heavy rains. Right now, we are flooded. Three of 4 sides to my house are completely under water. Between the high water and trees down, nobody is going anywhere anytime soon.
Obviously we have electricity and phone in some areas here, however, strangly, we do not have water. Just barely a trickle coming out.
Prayers for the safey of everyone also impacted by Kitrana.
Thank you for checking in. Please continue to keep us posted as you are able.
Do you have water coming into your home?
I watched that thing pound S. Dade for hours and hours. There probably aren't too many farmers left now, but whatever farmland there is has to be lakes. People are boating and jetskiing in the streets there on the video links below.
Would really appreciate knowing more any more news you learn about the damage in the Homestead area .. if you have to chance to find out. I lived there for 25+ years.
She's a Cat. 2, tops winds at 100 mph, and steaming along her treacherous path .. prayers for all in her way. Just kills me to think about it going to the centeral Panhandle .. again. Those poor souls, God bless them all.
