Hugh describes the devastation very well and personally, having experienced it firsthand.

I’m becoming a resident of Cedar Key and have been there the past two weeks to see the most amazing transformation of destruction to rebound I have ever experienced.

I am so reminding of my shipwreck long ago and that feeling of ‘this is so weird’ seeing all our possessions sloshing around. The residents of cedar key are already past the ‘weird’ and hard at work restoring and rebuilding and digging their heels in stronger than before.

All of them say tell your friends to come. There are places to stay and restaurants and even a latte bar right by the art center (that survived).

Thought the sail meet was cancelled for November we still hold hope for May.

And for Clam Girl to set sail SOON.

What a shame. Have always wanted to visit Cedar Key. Hopefully a majority of the people who have been displaced will find a way to come back and it will return to some semblance of what was.
