two days after Charlie I am back to work, helping as many people as I could, because we got lucky, it wasn't an act of god that saved my house, it was the fact the trees in my back yard sit 100 feet back and they couldn't reach. I saw several people in worse shape, houses split in half by trees, houses without roofs. i got lucky. All i had to do is pick up the 3 very large trees in my back yard, but there wasn't enough time. if you were to ho to the front of my house there is a mound of tree branches and logs that is over my head (i'm 6'4"). In the back yard remains the rest of the trees, the City of Orlando/private workers that make a fortune off this, have not had enough time from the last strorm, cleam up was said to take months. Now those branches and logs become the most dangerous things. I hate this feeling, it's like there is nothing we can do, this storm is going to hit Orlando with more force than Charlie. We had winds of over 105 miles per hour, and that destroyed lives, now there saying that the winds could reach the 120 mark. this sucks, I worry far to much, My in laws live with me, and my wife is in NYC covering the republican. My mother in law has brest cancer and had her first kemo treatment yesterday the 31st, there is no way to move her if this strom hits, and my wife is cuban, and from Miami (don't worry she hates the Dolphins), meaning my In laws don't speak english, and I don't speak spanish, this is really a great feeling.
Franny and Charlie are going to form an X on my house! I walk out into the eye.
