Tuesday

I took a drive out on Anna Maria Island this morning. This is the Anna Maria City Pier:

This is the Rod and Reel Pier:

This is a pile of downed trees:

This is a house about two miles down the road from me. A big oak tree fell on it:

    Regarding Robert’s comment-

    Remember in 1954 when Playtex came out with the “Cross Your Heart Bra”? They still make ’em.

    Mother Packer buys the “Cross Your Navel” version of it instead.

    Buddy,

    Looking at the cleanup, it seems to be going well. How quickly are the various agencies (FEMA / Insurance Companies) responding to your neighbors? How many of the pad-built houses are being rebuilt or repaired? Have they announced plans for the piers? I believe that you guys are staying put, but is the overall feeling the same on the island? STAY SAFE!! Al :{)

      On the Island there is a lot of new construction for rentals. But they were started before the hurricane. The storm response was very good from utilities. There is still a whole lot of downed trees along the roads.From what I’ve seen there were not so many totaled houses. I saw about five on my tour of the island. I don’t know about the FEMA response. I think it was ok because there hasn’t been much complaining. When I see the blue tarps still on roofs or fences blown over an the like, it’s either because the repair companies are so busy or the owners are waiting for insurance settlements. I have a 4×4 section of my ceiling that’s been missing due to a roof leak that was before the 2 hurricanes. I have a guy who is going to fix it, but he’s overwhelmed with repair work.
