Good report, bump.
I really expect Tyndall will end up being closed like Homestead was.
I would think riding a scooter through all that mess would be a little risky my friend. Glad your ok.
Thanks for the report, RB. Glad your family is OK!
It was tricky, to say the least. My worst fear was the oil from BUSTED TRANSFORMERS on the road......................
I hope they keep Tyndall open...................
Wow, thank you for that first-hand report. I was stationed at Tyndall for 4 years, lived in various towns like Lynn Haven, Parker, Calloway, and of course hung out in PCB and the various resorts around it. I just remember that awful paper mill smell depending on which way the wind was blowing. When I lived there it was the poorest county in Florida. Not much there other than the base, the paper mill and Spring Breakers. Good times at Miracle Strip amusement part and Shipwreck Island.
Thank you for this post. Stay safe!
Thank you for the detailed report. Prayers up for those affected to have steady progress toward “normal” soon.
My conclusion after Hurricane Elena was that if you work in hurricane prone areas you should commute from thirty-five miles inland to avoid the worst of the damage. Or live in a reiforced fortress of a building (which I did during Elena.)
My daughter was there evacuating nursing homes. She lives in Orlando. Drives EMT.
She said same things. Pictures dont do it justice.
My church is in the planning and gathering stages of sending supplies over right now. Chances are I’ll be making a trip or two over there in the near future.
For those who have not heard, Gov. Rick Scott is doing this:
Thanks for the report. Two months without power? In Florida? Wow. Then damage was far worse than I feared. I spent “just” 40 days without power after Hurricane María last year.
Did anyone see the Clinton Foundation Trucks? I bet if they did, they would be carrying ballots to fill out. s/
Our President loves the military, that may make a difference.
Wow. Bump.
thanks for having us Frs in mind and typing a great report. I looked up the area on line and saw NOAA maps of damaged areas too. Glad you and all family safe, hope ones most effected can continue to get thru the now of it and onto rebuilding their home and lives. Stay safe.
Meanwhile, Senator Nelson (D) running for reelection is fundraising off of this disaster..................
We did see Marine Helicopters fly over, I assume they were preparing for President Trump’s flyover today......................
My wife’s cousin, and RN, works for a nursing Home.
Their neighbor on the backside is a RN as well and she woks at the Panama City hospital.
She was given 90 days off with pay, since the hospital is so damaged that it will take that long, at least, to get it repaired............
