Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Florida Weather

For what it's worth, we were at Disney yesterday (Saturday).

The parks are all running as if nothing happened.

Additionally, we went to Disney Marketplace, right across the street (more or less) from the Wyndham.
Everything there was fine and the Wyndham was all lit up, so it looks like the venue is still in great shape.

The above link is for the national hurricane center. You can read the charts regarding both storms.

I dont think they expect it to be a threat until late next week. with earl going toward mexcio and danielle going out into the atlantic. but the above link will keep you. posted.

Kyogre our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We need to recover from this and look forward to worlds.
 
WE are back on power.
This area was hit hard and a lot of damage, but it's material damage so it can be restored/renewed.
Today we even could get some gas for the car.
There were fights at gas stations because everyone needed it and row growed and growed. The police was at each station who was so lucky having power to watch out for people getting heated to much.
Stores will be opening today normally I hope, they had power yesterday but I think they had to clean up first. (48 hours without power can you image how the freezing department will look like)

We helped the motel owners cleaning up the place and removed tons of garbish what was alover the place.
Now it looks pretty normal again and we have airco again.
No swimming yet, the pool is totally green and we are not allowed to use it.
Today we will try to prepare our decks for worlds, we didn't have the energy to work on those.
 
Lia - Where are you staying up until Worlds?

I just called the Wyndham Resort Hotel to inquire on their status. The front desk lady said "We didnt get hit hard like the other areas, Disney and Universal are fine, and we are looking forward in seeing you on Friday."

So it appears that the Orlando area didnt get hit nearly as hard as the other places in FL.

Safe travels to everyone.

Johnny,

The Orlando Metropolitan "Area" actually includes parts of 4-5 counties in Central Florida. The Disney properties are actually in a different county from Orlando proper, and for the most part were spared from bad damage. Parts of Orlando and Orange County were hit very hard. The airport and major attractions are back up and running but many residential areas are still without power. While the main roads are clear, some people can't get into or out of their neighborhoods because their streets are still blocked by downed trees and power lines.

We have quite a few pokemon players here that are still without power and the next time that they sleep in an airconditioned room will be at the Wyndham on Friday. Personally, I have a brother that lives about 2 miles from downtown Orlando. My sister talked to him right after the storm hit but noone has heard from them since, nor can we get to his house to check on him. I spent half of Saturday chopping up and hauling off trees that were knocked over on my property.

Should we call off Worlds? Absolutely Not. But just remember that there are hundreds of thousands of people close by that are still dealing with the damage and loss that took place.

And it is because of this that some of the Florida players may not be able to attend worlds. Its a shame really. After all the work some of us put out to get to worlds only to have something like this happen. :mad:
 
Hagrid is right. That part of Orlando didn't get hit too bad, but the rest of Orlando got clobbered. Some areas not expecting power back until next Monday.
 
I'm in Kissimmee and people from around here are staying at our motel, because the power at their houses is not yet back. Indeed a lot of trees and other stuff is still not removed and this will take some more days I guess.
