Can we still get there easily if we are driving to it? I heard power lines were down and many roads were blocked.

i got a pastel and others and it is empty compared to last year and the year before....

thanks

I just got back. Daytona was pretty messed up but nothing compared to Orlando and Ft Myers. I would say that less than half of Daytona has power as of tonight. probably 10% of the stop lights work. Most all of the signs of hotels were on the ground or partly in the street. The surf shops that have the two story glass windows were hit hard...windows blown out, ceilings hanging down to the floor and all the merchandise destroyed. THe news hasn't really shown how bad Charley was.

The show was nice, very few people compared to previous years. Biggest reason there was to pick up frozen mice, but nobody this year was selling rodents. What a bummer.
