Couple of more updates from Rich and Pam

I just cc’d you and Frank on what is likely our last report to Polk County EOC.  The Team has performed our damage assessment operation and it is remarkable how little damage we have sustained. The people we have talked with are only complaining about the lack of power.  I have cell comms with the team but texts and e-mail and calls are going through at a very retarded rate because of high traffic volume.  All in all we have been very fortunate.  BTW. I sent a message out several days ago to Ignore JOSE because it would not come close to the US Mainland.

LPV Mulberry @ 1010 hrs 9/11/2017

RPTD by TL Pamela Hanvik via Mobile to DC Rick Gibbons

Initial Damage assessment complete.

No injuries reported to the Team by many of the LPV residents we have spoken with. None anticipated.

Some minor damages to homes but all are habitable.

Only discomfort is lack of power.

One aluminum light pole broken at the base and leaning against a tree in vicinity of 288 & 311 Lake Erie Dr & the bocce ball court.  Area has been surround with caution tape and traffic rerouted. LPV park manager will report to TECO and understands this is low priority.

An apparent telephone or CATV junction box is laying on the ground at 313 Lake Erie Dr. (low priority)

Weather is improving with no rain and sun from time to time.

Unlikely we will issue additional reports at this time unless requested.
