Never lost power in Boca Raton

#1 Postby boca » Fri Aug 26, 2005 8:15 am

We lucked out in Southern palm Beach County.Never really got that bad and never lost power. My best wishes go out to storm2k members in Dade , Broward and Monroe Counties for a fast cleanup and hopefully very little damage.

Same here in Tamarac and north Coral Springs. Power flickered, went out, back on, flickered, went out, back on a couple times longest outage I was here for in Tamarac was 5 minutes. That was when we decided to head up to University/Sawgrass to where my GF's mom was staying and that was about 5:30p. Power never failed up in CS, and all indications here are that power never went out after that.

Basically a non-event up in Jupiter. That turn to the wsw saved our butts. OUr thoughts and prayers to all those who were impacted farther south ... and to those who will be impacted by Katrina in the future.

Surprising amount of tree damage here in East Boca the morning after. Lots of big limbs down and palm trees uprooted. Nothing that can't be cleaned up with a chain saw and a strong back!

The pix from Miami tell a much different story. Prayers and good wishes go out to them.

Just talked to a girlfriend is West Palm, and she never lost power. She did hear a transformer blow up down the street from her house around six in the morning.

We lost power in Delray Beach for a little less than 4 hours. Just enough time to get our new generator working. But the actual wind and rain were pretty mild.

I feel very bad for those further south. Most of the people I work with live in Broward or Miami Dade county.

My thoughts are with whomever really has to deal with this in the Gulf. It's going to be a monster then.
