I survived Wilma - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Z Factor · 10-26-2005

Well guys, I managed to survive and so did the ZR-1. I have not responded to your PM's or been on the forum because I am without power, phone, water, etc.
I drove 40 miles to a friends house just to get a hot meal, shower, charge up a few essentials like the Cel Phone, and hop on the forum real quick to say hi. Much of the tri-country along with the Keys are recovering, so few have any utilities. I have tons of work to do on my house alone since I lost part of the roof, the pools screen enclosure, 90% of my wood fence around the house, etc. Cutting up trees in my yard and my neighbors will take some time as well, but at least the weather is nice outside.

I will answer your PM's and be on the forum as soon as I get the power back at home and I have exhausted all my strength during the day.

Glad to hear you made it through OK.

Glad you're safe. The material things can be fixed or replaced. Welcome back.....

Glad you are safe!!! Sounds like you got some clean up, best of luck with that! Wish I could help, but its a long drive.

Also glad to hear the Z survived. I always wonder how many z's or classic/muscle cars are lost during events like that.

Glad you're okay too! Don't forget to take a couple blasts in the Z to relieve stress!!
