Hello!

Back in business here in Vero Beach. Just got power on this morning about 8:30. It went out yesterday about noon. It was nice and cold last night so we didn't sweat our butts off, would have been nice to be able to turn on the heat. Things in town are pretty much back on track. Our city did a great job. A lot of the debris is already cleaned up. Some are still without power but I don't think it will be until Friday like I heard. FPL got hit hard from but the city utilities are up. School has been closed until Thursday. The emergency operating center had the roof collapse so it was moved to the sheriff's office. From my journy yesterday I didn't see a lot of structural damage, just landscaping. Probably half or more of the trees that were planted after last years hurricanes are down but the city crews were already on the scene about 4:00 yesterday to put them back up. I haven't been to beachside yet, so no report on what may have occurred over there.

Vero Beach, and presumably points north, got off light.

Check.

Good deal.

Vero is a nice town with some very fine people. Kind of a little know jewel. My son-in-law grew up there.
