techristian Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 My wife is losing her mind here worrying about her brother. He was living in a trailer park in PUNTA GORDA. Thank you.

Tedster Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 We'll certainly be praying that everything's okay. I know Punta Gorda was hard hit...especially a trailer park there...but, keep in mind, communications are probably going to be iffy for a bit, and, if he's okay (which we pray he is), he might be having a hard time calling out.

LiveMusic Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 My gosh: At its worst, Hurricane Charley's wind gusts topped 180 mph (289 kph) in Punta Gorda, Sallade said. Any know how many deaths? What I read wasn't good. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techristian Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 GOOD NEWS. My brother-in-law called an hour ago. He was living in a very small trailer which he pulled to the east coast of Florida ,while he fled from Punta Gorda. He has re-settled in another trailer park community at Fort Pierce. Thanks for your prayers! Dan TEACHMEDRUMS.COM My Music Videos RED PILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Glad to hear he's okay Dan. Let's all keep praying / thinking about the people who were not so fortunate. Unfortunately, there's a lot of them who lost property and even loved ones in this terrible storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mats Olsson. Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Thanks for the update, Dan! Yes, what Phil said, pray for all victims and their families/friends. http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

ani Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I missed the initial thread, but I am certainly glad to see your family member is okay Dan. I'll keep all of the folks in Florida in my prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportdoc Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Wow....I'm glad all is well with your family...smart move. I'm sitting here watching the local news (I"m just west of Orlando) and they are showing Punta Gorda...total devastation. A car on a lift is all that is left of a gas station...a full sized mini van got blown around like a leaf...a wall of a hotel fell on the 20 cars parked outside of it...trailer parks were scenes of total destruction...not a pretty sight! We were lucky in that the storm blew east of us so we just got hit with heavy rain...no power loss... Peace... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Having been in a hurricane myself, I can assure you it's a very scary situation!! I was in the middle of hurricane Hugo in '89 when it came through Gastonia, 200 miles in from Charleston, SC, where it made land fall. We got 90 m.p.h. winds here in town, and there were lots of trees and power lines down. Blown transformers and sub-stations kept the power out for weeks, and driving down our street was like driving in a tunnel; tree trunks lined the sides of the road after we cut them up and got them out of the yard. My thoughts and prayers are with those unlucky folks in Florida who were in the path of Charley, and I'm glad your relative is safe, Dan. BlueStrat a.k.a.
