Hi,

I am currently over here at EFT. Just to let you know that they evacuated all of the a/c and students to Naples last Thursday before the Frances came through. I stayed in Vero as I am here with my family and we had friends to stay with instead.

I haven't yet heard from anybody from the school and may try and drive down later to see if there is anything left of the building! Fort Pierce got hit pretty badly.

I imagine that they will probably fly back the a/c back today as yesterday was a bit dodgy weather wise.

My advice, keep trying on the phone and if you have emailed them I am sure you will get a reply as soon as they can. Telephones and electricity is still as problem in most areas, I am very luck that both mine were back last night.

If you have a flight booked in the next day or two, it is really a judgement call. I am sure flight operations will continue asap, but I am not sure how accommodation and airport pick-ups will work until they are back. Plus I am not sure if Orlando Airport is back open yet, it wasn’t yesterday.

Hope this helps some of you who are coming over soon.

Matt
