This came from a friend in West Palm Beach, they took the back end of Wilma:

WOW…. there is a mess down here! My home took a beating, but not as bad as some of my neighbors and co-workers. Of course I don’t have power, but I am writing you from my office in Lake Worth. Luckily we have a generator here, and since we do so much business with Bellsouth, they were nice enough to put a generator on their slick cabinet. So my office is up and running, but most of it is running in Houston. We have employees from Ft. Lauderdale to the Acreage, and only 1 place has power. The corner of Okeechobee and Jog seems to have power. At least the people north of the intersection are the lucky ones. They say they don’t have cable yet though.

My car took a hit, and so did my wife’s. We have some very stupid people on my road and they had their garbage on sidewalk. Well it’s not their anymore.. After watching a few pieces
ricochet off my truck, and cut through my neighbors screen porch it, a lot of their stuff is in a pool across the street! We have a nice ding in the garage door (hopefully it will work), and our pack patio is ruined. We lost all our trees except for the tree that holds my daughter’s swing. she was on it while we were out cleaning. We don’t have a generator @ the house so we are “camping” out. Thank God that it is cool out, and it was not like it was last year. We had no power for 4 days, and my wife was 9 months pregnant!. Needless to say, my daughter is a little over a year, and she has been through 2 hurricanes! I have lived in FL for almost 10 years, and have had 3… Time to move again?

Good luck to everyone out there!
