I had a call this weekend from a yacht skipper friend who is in Ft. Lauderdale for the boatshow, what there is left of it. She said she was not at all prepared for the devastation that greeted her in the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma. The first words out of her mouth were "Why isn't your husband here?" In this context she was referring to the fact that my husband is an electrical lineman, and power still has not been restored in many places; power lines and trees are still littering the roads; and generally the area is not bouncing back this time.
I just received my weekly update from Sailworld.com, and found this article: Superyacht builders pull out of Ft Lauderdale.
I have another good friend who lives in Boca Raton. She's ridden out all the major storms to hit Florida in recent years, and tells me this one was the worst. My advice is - Get out while you still can!
