Talk about a huge relief - after Charlie things were a real mess. I was prepared for the same (or worse) this time around.

haha, i wish :bb:

John, I think you (and the whole state of Florida) lucked out that this was mostly a really big rain storm vs. the havoc monster that Charlie turned out to be. My parents lost a screen on their linai (sp?) and that was it and they're in Tampa. My Aunt/Uncle lost one piece of siding on their house in Jupiter. Neither had power for a bit but that was sorted out pretty quickly.

So far it sounds like Ivan won't bother you guys so you should get that 1% back up in no time. ;)
