We were in the Keys until last Wednesday. I heeded the Mandatory Evacuation which was issued. We came through the Hurricane yesterday in good shape. We had some leakage under the front door which wound up in the utility room. Our electricity flickered a few times but we were fortunate. 80,000 in our county are part of the 6 million in the State who are without power.
We have ankle deep water in some parts of our yard. However, there are those that have waist high water in their homes as well as those that no longer have homes. Please keep our State in your prayers.
If you are able to give, I would recommend some organization other than the Red Cross. IE the Salvation Army or some organization which has LESS administrative expenses and whose leadership is less financially compensated.
