1993. The no name storm.
This was such a nightmare. Do you remember Florida getting hit with the no name storm, in the Spring of 1993.
Our restaurant was far enough away from the water, so we were able to open. However, some of our employees didn’t show up, because their houses were under water.
That day I was a ‘jack of all trades’ trying to feed the endless line of people. So many only had the clothes on their backs and no money. We didn’t turn anyone away. Other people eating in the restaurant would ask for checks of families without. We would provide for them too.
Service wasn’t the best, we ran out of some of the menu items, and the only complaint we had, was from a server, from another restaurant.
The following day was even worse. People were out of their homes and couldn’t go back. So many didn’t have electricity so we did the best we could for our community.
