Hurricane trouble in Orlando

[RaceCraftBearings]

Hello all, we were hit pretty hard in Orlando although everything is fine we do not have Electricity, phone or cable and will likely be offline for a while. If you place an order I will do my best to get it out ASAP but please be patient!

I am at a temporay location today to answer emails and such but will not be able to do this on a daily basis. Be back online as soon as we can!

Hang tough Ron! We got lucky, Charley broke off to the right as it passed over Kevin in Norfolk & just missed us! We got some hard rain & wind for about an hour. Granted it's been raining since Friday morning though. :blink:

 

[Roy Munoz]

whew, I was just watching the news and it said 500,000 total homes damaged or destroyed along the path. We live just 150 miles from Punta Gorda, the hardest hit city, and we got no damage at all.

Thanks to all those who sent well wishes!

I still have no power but we have been running a few lights and fan in the house off the Boat Racing Generator for the past few nights. We slept in the Boat Racing Trailer last night with the AC, TV and Stereo keeping us cool and entertained.

I was tired of waiting on Bell South to fix my broken phone lines so I repaired them myself just minutes ago. After digging the phone line from beneath a pile of broken trees and running a temp line between the break and the house we are now on the BELL RON phone system

I will try to get back on a regular schedule getting orders out that were placed while I was unable to get online.

Thanks for your support!

To the race gang in Florida, you guys hang in there. It is not looking pretty for you. Frances looks worth than Charley. Been there done that, when I use to live in San Juan PR.

Our prayers are with you

Hang tough man! I spoke to my friends in Florida and they were in the process of boarding up the house as we spoke! I haven't heard from them so I hope they faired well.

 

[Mitch Graber]

Yes,we are boarding up AGAIN.I am in Sarasota

and Charley missed my house by 25 mi. I hope

to escape the damage again....but this one

coming is a Monster.....140-150 mi.wide,allready

a Cat.4.Guess I won't be testing boats this Sunday.

There is already caravans of tree service and

utility trucks coming south down the Interstate

with Indiana,Penns.,and Alabama plates.....at

least they are thinking that far ahead to get the

power restored as quickly as possible afterwards.

Keeping our fingers crossed in Fla......Mitch

Just got back from the local Home Depot, there wasn't a piece of plywood in the place. Was actually thinking I would buy a generator-Ha! None of those either. I did manage to get some gasoline for the pickup, out of regular, had to buy middle grade. I'm with you Mitch, keep our fingers crossed. Don

 

[Don Ferrette]

Hang tough guys! If any of Frances goes thru here then I'm screwed. The water from Gaston is 10 feet from my house.
