Message from BOBBI:

We’re all fine, power is out, like it is everywhere. Some places are getting power back, but it’s slow. Parts of Miami Beach, and the Gables have power, portions of Miami Gardens Drive has power, hospitals and major street intersections have powers, most grocery stores have power.

Latest estimate for possible power is nov 22nd, but it should happen sometime later this week or next. Cooking up food on a grill, sitting on the porch, kids have been amazing.

The media has been downplaying the crime card. There have been many thefts of people’s generators one person in the neighborhood was pistol whipped and his and his wife’s house ransacked and robbed. They can hear the generators and there are kids hanging out on corners making some trouble. It’s not complete chaos, but there is a serious crime problem, the curfew has been pushed back to midnight, cause more stores are open, and people want to go out.

Sadly because of pressure the county decided to give gas stations power before schools, so there is no public school till at least wed, and even then they haven’t decided if there will be school this week at all.

That’s all, I might be able to log on quickly at my brother’s makeshift office, but probably only for a moment. As soon as we have power back, I will be back online.

Bye

Bobbi
