Hey Twist you getting your feet wet? Twice in a coupled of weeks is
getting to be a bit too much you think? Hope you got a set of good
boots.

Power was just restored today...was on a generator for everything else.

I wish I had that generator. Couldn't work today without power. Tmrw I'll be
needing to print out paperwork for products to ship out (AutoZone ordered
some stuff and they fine us if we miss an order). Progress energy says they
have no clue at all when they can give us power. I wish they made battery
backups that could last a week or so. That would be way cool. I'm gonna
start a battery collection. :-P

The amount of water is unreal,,the bay surged more than I had ever
witnessed.....everyone here along the northern edge had water in the
house. Much cleaning up to do, but I'm heading out on the water tomorrow
to check out the area. Now we have Ivan expected to come up into the
Gulf and he was class IV last I checked. By the time Frances got to us,
he was a class I. Most folks (transplants that never weathered a
hurricane) aren't prepared for that large a storm (Ivan).

I've only been here for about 12 years. Never got to see a direct hit in St.
Pete. After Frances brushed by us, I don't think I want to see a direct hit.
