wrxpilot said:I fly out of LNA, but I haven't made it down there yet. I'm still in Jupiter and it is a mess. I'm at work now, which is the only place around here that has power. Amazingly enough, we still have internet access. I haven't had a shower since Mon though. Thankfully its been unusually cool out since the storm.
Anyway, Palm Beach appch is back on the air, but all the airports took a huge beating. I know there is extensive damage at PMP, BCT, and LNA. I haven't personally seen them, but I saw some pics on my battery operated TV. PBI, FXE and FLL likely received very heavy damage as well, but I haven't seen how bad yet. A lot of people (including me) didn't think this storm would be as bad as it was, and I think a lot of people left their aircraft thinking we'd only see a tropical storm rather than a very strong Cat 2. From what I experienced, this storm was more powerful than the Cat 3 I went through last year.
Gkrangers, if there's anything I can do to help you with relief down at LNA let me know. Not sure if I can make that kind of a drive right now with the crazy gas situation, but I'd look into it. Thanks for any help.

I understand some 20 airplanes were flipped and heavily damaged at PMP. I have no heard anything of damage reports at FXE yet. I know that at OPF there was an hangar that caught fire and nobody was there to put it out. The business was destroyed. I also head of extensive damage at North Perry. I still don't know the status of my apartment there. But even if it was trashed, I'll recover.
