A tough story about the DC-3 talked about in a previous post. The owner has spent two years restoring the plane. He was about two weeks from getting the plane in flight before the storm. He chained the landing gear to the tarmac for the storm. After the storm, the landing gear was still chained to the ground and the plane went through three hangars. My friend's plane was in hangar No. 4. Amazing how things work. At the office today, most people came in. About half were still without power. Almost everyone lost power for at least 12 hours. Damage to a few houses, but nothing too serious. The worst was someone whose parents live in Port Charlotte. Their home is gone.
