Well, now that Frances has left the people of Florida, what happened to those of you that have suffered her wraith?
I shal start.... I spent the duration of the storm at my dad's girlfriend's house in Deland. Well, we were having a pretty good time until it actually started to rain. The first thing to happen was the shingles and tar paper getting torn off and then the roof started leaking. So, while the winds were knocking down trees across the street, I was on the roof with a few other people putting tarp on the exposed areas.(Tarp+Heavy Wind+150 lb 17yr old=kid on ride to death) I was sure I was going to fall about 12 times while we were up there. Well, by the time we patched things up, it was too late because the roof had already leaked enough water to flood the inside of the house. We spent about 8 hours trying to get rid of the water before we started to tear everything away from the house so it wouldnt leak in. Needless to say, we also had no power.(No power=No AC, HALO, Hot water) My dad and I decided to come home last night to check on our house and found no damage. The house in Deland still has no power so we are probably going to have to invite like 14 people and 5 pets over today to offer our showers and beverages. To top it all off, I have to go back to school tomorrow morning.
