“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
In signs of nascent normality, curfews were being lifted in storm-stricken Florida cities and cruise-ship passengers were disembarking after voyages extended by the storm.“We’ve got a lot of work to do, but everybody’s going to come together and get this state rebuilt,” Scott, the governor, said.The peninsula’s major population centers on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, including Miami in the east and Tampa-St. Petersburg in the west, suffered considerably less damage than feared as the storm’s track veered away from them.But parts of the Keys, a fragile archipelago linked to the mainland by a single roadway and 42 bridges, faced a longer road to recovery.The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, William B. “Brock” Long, said Tuesday that by initial estimates, a quarter of the homes in the Keys were destroyed and an additional 60% damaged. In all, “basically every house in the Keys was impacted,” he said.One of those who chose to ride out the hurricane in Key West was 90-year-old Shirley Ross Block. Speaking by phone, she recounted her fears during the storm that roofs might fly off — including hers — but they held, she said.Block initially thought the evacuation order wasn’t necessary, but changed her mind when confronted with the aftermath: power outage, rationed running water and dwindling propane for generators. If everyone had stayed, she said, “there would be all the more people in dire straits now.”img itemprop="image" data-baseurl="http://www... (Los Angeles Times)
