Heard from a few drum corps friends on FB that they are okay... but they are more or less in your area, Andy. Those farther to the north... like you said, let's hope for the best.

MikeD Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 A woman from my company who lives and works remotely in Florida (someplace...not sure where), emailed everyone this morning that they are well, but have no power. She sent us all a photo of her house after they boarded up all of the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Several Orlando-area drum corps folks checked in on FB to say they're okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching The Weather Channel yesterday and seeing Jim Cantore in a motorized boat, navigating what appeared to be rivers and streams, but were actually streets and highways in North Carolina...wow.

KeithHall Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 My wife and I live in Jacksonville (Zone D) so we didn't evacuate. Some people in our complex did but we stuck it out. On Friday our power went off around 11 am and was off till about 10 am Saturday morning. Susan and I went to the Metro Diner in the morning for a hot meal and coffee. Thank God they were open and packed! Once we returned the power was on. Saw a few trees uprooted and lying across the road. I survived the Blizzard of '77 in Buffalo and every snow storm before and after. The best part was having the windows open to let that breeze come in since we were on the third floor we were closer to the roof if they had to take us out via helicopter LOL. No school today but we are back tomorrow. YEA!!! Thanks for the prayers for all of us down here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Wondered how bad Jax was hit. Long story but work at home Fridays and the web server I go thru handles the east coast with most traffic from Norfolk and Jacksonville. Man was the web quick Friday with guessing very low Jax traffic.... Edited October 10, 2016 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
