Update -- Regency

The following news came from an email from Charlyn Filewicz:

I spoke with Pat just a few minutes ago. She and Vicki and Mary Jo, her new asst. were on a pile of sand, checking on things. They had to leave the car on A1A. She had to use the Stuart bridge. Contrary to what we've heard, they were not allowing use of the new bridge.

All shutters looked to be intact, except the ones on the Soc. Rm. Bldg. II. The shutters were torn, but the windows held. The pool deck is gone, the foundation to Bldg. II is exposed, but intact. The under side of the portico on Bldg. II is hanging loose. The Social Rooms are dry. The garages are full of water and sand.

ALL cars on the upper decks, EXCEPT Don Chapman's Corvette and one BMW had their windows blown out. Don't ask me any more details; this is all I know.

Pat is "trying" to reach Ray, who has the bulldozers to get the sand out of the driveways again and back to the ocean. He may not have power.

NO ONE has power on the Island. Pat got this info from the sheriff's office, herself.

She will call me again when she has any other news. She wants to get the sand out first, so we can get to the buildings, and she wants to get the power on to prevent mildew.

She will have the rest of our people out there tomorrow to do what they can.

We are lucky, once more, that the shutters held because a lot of the condos did not fare as well as we did.

Sincerely,

Charlyn
