OT--Ping Floridians Charley
Hi All;
I'm just back from 10 days in Michigan cottage-country, so it will take me a bit to catch up with the news he but in the mean time, I'm hoping my Florida friends can give me news from the Fort Myers area. We know that Charley unexpectedly hit landfall at Charlotte Harbor, and that Sanibel Island was hit bad, but we haven't heard much about Fort Myers. We are *really* interested, because hubby's 106yo grandmother is in a retirement village called Shell Point, and it is *very* close to the causeway to Sanibel. My MIL has been trying to reach the Pavillion (Shell Point's nursing home where her mom resides) since Friday morning but hasn't been able to get through. Her SIL (who lives in Fort Myers proper) weathered the storm ok but was without power for about 24hrs: she hasn't been able to get through to Shell Point by phone either, and says that the Powers That Be are asking Fort Myers' residents not to travel, so she can't get out to check on Namo either. Currently, we are trying to take the "no news is good news" approach to our ignorance; but I know all of us (especially my MIL) would feel better if we had more information. TIA Marie |

t.cable.rogers.com... hubby's 106yo grandmother is in a retirement village called Shell Point, and it is *very* close to the causeway to Sanibel. My MIL has been trying to reach the Pavillion (Shell Point's nursing home where her mom resides) since Friday morning but hasn't been able to get through. Any word yet? What about trying the Red Cross to get information? I'm *sure* the nursing home did whatever they could - and it seems like someone must be trying to get word out by now to relatives. -- ~~Judy When life gives you lemons, ask for tequila and salt. |
