Well, I apologize (Bob) for the late update. My parents had the foresight to head north to Daytona,FL to spend the night, and got out of Jupiter before it hit the east coast on Thursday afternoon. Tropical Storm Katrina became Hurricane Katrina... but only a Category-1 storm, and then moved a bit farther south before it crossed Florida. They drove home on Friday to find little damage in the area and only the nuisance of a pool full of debris. They calculated that they had lost power for no more than 12 hours. Dad had it cleaned before the sun went down Friday. Mom mentioned the interesting sight of driving south in a convoy of probably 300 utility crews who were headed south to begin restoring power to south Florida.
Somewhat ironically, my dad flew into Cincinnatti,OH today, where the storm is due to hit on Tuesday night. I trust he brought his waders!
