Cindy, I live in Jacksonville and it was very bad in our building because it
is low lying. We were submerged under water and thanks to Jesus no
electrical damage was done because we had no electricity *smile* I am
grateful computers were undamaged so I could continue writing once power was
restored. Thanks for asking, Cindy Am more fortunate than most people in
Florida because only property was damaged and no damage to my particular
condo. The roof of the building was damaged, but I am accustomed to
hurricanes or tornadoes and actually worry about people in our lists who
are not used to them.. Was really glad to learn that you, Patti, are not
now in Florida. Are you in Florida, Cindy?
Dinky
