As a resident of south Port Saint Lucie Florida (about 4 miles north of Frances landfall) I would like to thank all of you who have sent your aid and best wishes our way.I have been extreamly lucky in that my home is intact,and just tonight my power is restored.The recovery effort is going well and most residents are pulling together to make the best of a trying period.
I have my work cut out for me over the next few months(I am a mechanical engineer) and may not have alot of time to visit my favorite online community,DKos.
I just felt that I had to take a moment to report that in the course of my work today I had the pleasure of being within perhaps 500 feet of GeeDub and Jeb! as they flew out of Stuart airport.Of course I signaled with the universal single finger salute (your number one!)Was that wrong?
After all,they did spend maybe five minutes passing out ice and water in Ft.Pierce.
Strangly,there is plenty of brush to be cleared here but he didnt seem too interested in actually helping out.The natives were not impressed with this obvious tax payer funded photo op and this just may be his latest mission accomplished/turkey moment.
Anyhow,thanks to you all once again and keep up the good works here at DKos.-Don
