Uncle Steve & Aunt Tina also braved the gusty winds, driving up from Miami to join us all for a welcome dinner at Lucy's house. BBQ ribs & chicken, lots of chatting & laughter, and wholesome enjoyment of one another's company happened while the lights continually flickered on and off.
Outside, the warm but powerful winds blew down signs, branches, and uprooted trees. Power was out and stayed out throughout the night except at Lucy's. It took a day for us to get ours back, 2 days for the parents....and there are about 800,000+ still without power as of today.
We were lucky, because Katrina changed its course and headed south after hitting land, so she did more damage in Miami-Dade than up here in Broward. Here are some pics of our neighborhood
My ficus bush got a bit tipsy!
How about a swim, anyone?

Wow, that's just crazy how the huge tree just topple over. I'm listening to the news this morning and it says Hurricane Katrina is up to a category 5 storm that's going to hit New Orleans. When it hit Miami it was only a category 1. Imagine what damage it will do to Lousiana. Good thing it wasn't that strong when it hit Florida!!
