Yes, the thatch is fine; there was one area that got "lifted" by the winds on the drive-thru entryway, but you had to really look for it to even notice - and I'm pretty sure it'll be tied back down well before Hukilau.

Unfortunately, hurricanes are just part of the deal here in Florida, just like quakes out in California, tornadoes in the Mid-West, and the dreaded Nor'easters for those of us who have had the distinct pleasure of living on the New England coast ... the upside is that we're pretty resilient, and within a few weeks, things are generally back in order. Even after Andrew wiped us out, we managed to get things mostly back in shape within a month of the storm (with the notable exception of the Miami Metrozoo that was turning away cleanup volunteers two days after the storm because they could "do it themselves" - and they still haven't totally cleaned up the mess).

This one was mild by comparison, and we will be well back in shape by the end of this week.

Cheers!

Stay on the beach. The natives over there are cannibals.
