Just to update everyone on the condition of the keys, pretty much everyone had power back as far down as 7mile bridge. 7mile to Key west should be finished by the weekend, with the exception of a few flooded areas. Surge was pretty bad, a lot of flooded houses and cars, many wrecked boats. My B31 "Time Flies" weathered just fine in Marathon. I had power back on Monday afternoon. Cell service is almost back to normal, not perfect but pretty darn good. Just a matter of cleaning up debris and sorting everything out right now. Pretty amazing to watch the water flood all the way from the gulf to the atlantic. There were many spots where this occured, especially in Grassy key. Marathon airport had about 4-5' of standing water and even the medians on US1 were under about 2' of water. My thoughts go out to those north of here, I have spoke with many people from Miami to FLL to WPB and all say it is pretty bad up there.

best regards,
Patrick Nutt
