It's my condo on Isle of Venice in Fort Lauderdale. unfortunately I won't be back until next wed or thursday. It is only 4 units and I am the Association and the manager, so there is no one to clean the place up. I am told there is about 20 feet of roof laying next to the building!

Hey all, just got power back after 33 hrs.
House came through well, but I'm sure glad we shuttered the whole thing.
I left the center sliding glass door uncovered in back(east) for light and the dogs. I also wanted to be able to see any action. About 7pm the fence(8ft. PVC) came apart and started to shrapnel the house. I had to take the last shutter out in the height of the storm and bolt it into place. The rain didn't bother me, but almost taking fight on a 7'x18" piece of aluminum got my attention.
I also saw some jackazz pilot flying a GULFSTREAM 5($50 million) jet about 300 ft over my house at the same time haeded for Boca Raton airport. It took at least 3 IDIOTS to think that was a good idea. The owner, the pilot, and the airport guy that said "weathers fine, i don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for awhile".
Glad to be safe, but they are lining up like freight trains in the gulf again.

Thanks again. I think it is just the patch of tar they put on it last year in july, (it was guaranteed for exactly one year too!)
I think the roof trusses and the original roofing material is still in place. That's what insurance is for I guess.
I wonder if Steve's house made it through OK? he is about a block from the ocean.
