just wondering how well you get along with your neighbors...and if any of them might have stuck around...to witness the event (or participate)

i certainly hope that they might have seen something if they were around

maybe karma will kick in and those thiefs will step in some flooded street and get electrocuted by a live power line (with you belongings clutched unharmed in their fingers!)

just trying to offer solace..i grew up in st. pete and everytime i go down there it seems to have gotten crazier

take care of that foot!

Not very bad. I heard that in Freeport the flooding was so bad that people were using jetski's on the roads however.

Actually, come to think of it, most jetski's only need ~6inches while on plane... so it might not be as bad as it sounds. :)
