After months of planning, we just cancelled everything -hotel, car, flight, etc...and will be heading to Vermont and Montreal on Friday instead of boarding a plane for Ft. Lauderdale. My disappointment is huge, but insignificant compared to the sadness I feel for all who are in this storm's path, for all of the lost business and damaged homes and property these storms have caused. I wish all of you in the area well and hope all of Florida is spared. As for us, we have until April to use our airline tickets - so who knows...maybe we will get there yet! Take care...NannyJan

We are heading to Key West next weekend and talked with friends down there that said basically Key West itself is up and running. There was alot of residential flooding but Duvall Street was the first area cleaned up and flights are running in and out during daylight hours. The airport did lose it's ground lights. We talked about cancelling and after talking with them, have decided to go. I can't wait to hit the sun and 80 degree weather. I'm from ND and it is already in the 40's for the highs here.

My parents are on their way back down now. Didn't lose a thing on the house, full power and water (Cudjoe Key), yadda, yadda.

Talked to the neighbors.

Heard they resceduled Fantasy Fest and couldn't get out of town and back down to Key West fast enough.

Oy vey.

I talked to our daughter in Key West last night...her house (she rents) had 4 feet of water in it and she is hoping to salvage some of the furniture. She had stayed with friends on Big Pine and they came through fairly well, but still needed the generator. She lives in the New Town area, which was flooded badly. So not all is bright and cheerful in Key West, but the locals are managing and trying to get things running so they can get back to work and earn their paychecks to pay for replacing their *stuff*. Everyone is helping everyone else out and they are all real survivors there.
