FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

As you may already know, West Palm Beach is in the “bullseye” for a direct hit from hurricane Jeanne (a category 3 storm) on Saturday and Sunday.

CCS/Florida has a race scheduled for Moroso Motorsports Park next weekend (10/2-3).

I have just spoke to management there and they tell me the event will be in jeopardy if they lose power again. That, because the pumps that keep the water table down in the park, would then be out. The area is already flooded around the facility from Hurricane Francis two weeks ago. And if the pumps are out, the park will almost certainly flood!

Please tell all concerned to stay tuned. We will see where we stand after the storm moves through. I will try to communicate from my home but when the power goes, so do the phones. And cel phones also are not reliable. My home has already been heavily damaged but I’m going to stick it out. God help us all!
