Hurricane Frances aftermath... Floridian Members check in!!

Any damages? Everybody alright? Check in and see how everybody is doing in the aftermath of the storm!!


Southwest Miami wasnt hit bad at all... mostly wind gusts of 50mph at the max and lots of rain. I even got to take the ML55 out today and do some puddle hopping!!! Anyways, everything in my house is fine, no damages at all, and the shutters remain. Just a reminder, theres another big storm thats supposed to come later this comming week so keep your shutters on guys.

It maybe somewhat hard for them to check in as most people are without power! I hope everyone made it thru in one piece, the footage I saw on the news was horrible.

Hope everyone is ok! Not a scratch! My house & family are perfect & my baby was parked nice & comfy in the garage! I drank like a fish, though!!


I took some pics around my neighborhood of trees that got lifted out of the ground. We had 40-45 mph gusts, but nothing big at all, so i dont know how these trees got so ****ed up. I will post them soon!
