PARU DANS LE SUN-SENTINEL
As one suffered from Wilma, the worst storm in my 28 years in Florida, getting power back in 95 ½ hours, - cooking with sterno, using flashlights four nights in a row - but there was a good side. Neighbor after neighbor pitched in helping anyone they could - buying charcoal, bringing food, ringing doorbells to see if help was needed. The final two nights at our gazebo were beef stew and then a gigantic pot of spaghetti., all you could eat. We celebrated getting power back with the beef stew and [had] a funeral for Wilma, thanking everyone who did more than you would expect from a neighbor. Those of us that were here felt lucky because we found that neighbors have hearts and really care for those living side by side.
