Kenni and all glad to hear the East Coast Florida Contingent is alive
and well. This has been an uncommon year to say the least. With Luck
Ivan will move west even more...
Good luck lad

Diana: Glad to hear you are safe and mostly sound G. We, too, had
both
eyewalls; we were in the eye for about 4 hours, from a little after
midnight
till about 4:30 am. Clearly, Frances was a huge storm! [For those of
you
less familiar with Florida geography, we are about 50-60 miles south
of
Diana.] Most of our damage looks to have come from the eastern
eyewall.
Juno Beach Orchids is up and running, and we are very busy thanking
our
lucky stars. Our two small open-air shadehouses were badly damaged,
but
our
big shadehouses held up extremely well, so our crop is fine. We will
have
to replace the roof on at least one bay, where one corner ripped out.
Most
of the other stuff that came down was slated for removal anyway -- the
bougainvillea arbor, the frame of the old pumphouse, a big pine tree
that
was in the way. Another tree that came down missed our show trailer
by
about 6" ... Our power came back on Monday morning. Phones and
cable/ISP
were just restored late yesterday. So all we need is for a whole
bunch
of
you to buy some orchids, so we can pay for repairs G.
Bill Hill at Orchid Island Orchids has much more extensive damage,
still
has
no power, and can call out but not receive on his phone. He wouldn't
ask
even if he could, but he could use some help, if there's a strong back
in
his neighborhood willing to give him a hand. His address is 4745
61st.
Court; Vero Beach, fl 32967 -- you'll have to just show up, since you
can't
reach him by phone or email.
I've spoken to Faith and she says they are OK. I don't know about
Odom's
or
Palm Bay.
