I believe their was somebody shot and killed in the south side of Seaglades (a neighborhood west of NAS on the water)after Ivan.As I heard it the guy who was shot was high and or drunkand ignored verbal warnings from the homeowner.

Whats the deal when they impose martial law on the area?..I'm not sure what that means.

Capt. Jon Pinney

martial law is when the military takes over law enforcement in a community. It hasn't happened here. There is usually a curfew after a storm, which is enforceable by law via county ordinance. Its a misdermeanor. Discretion is used to enforce it though.

My boat was in the barn at bahia mar.. needless to say it was a cluster... it was at least a week if not 2 before the folks there made any attempt to discourage people from stealing, once my boat was "salvaged" i was missing a cooler, buch of dock lines and the anchor ball ring setup i had bought from sea lark, (they left the ball)..

I stayed in Poly Isles on a canal during Ivan and it was pretty much a goast town the following morning....my home was trashed and luckily I was able to rent an apartment in GB proper for 6 months while my home was reparied. The National Guard enforced curfews in my neighborhood and in GB proper. The apartment I got was off of Shoreline Dr. and when you made the turn off 98 to get on Shoreline there was a roadblock and you had to show ID to get thru.....Things were pretty tight, security wise, for the first few weeks.

I stayed at the Civic Center for Ivan. BIG mistake, especially when the roof a/c's blew off and the basement flooded. At 8:00 AM I left. Had to sign a release though because winds were still over 50 mph. Walked through downtown and down Navy Blvd to our plant to get my car and to relay plant condition to our home office in Salt lake City. Saw a couple of Guys looting the Circle K on Garden towards downtown but nothing else. Got stopped a couple of times by Police, but just asking me if I was OK and if I needed a ride.

Biggest things I gained as a result...

Cash is king. No power, no atm's.

Gas and a generator to run the room a/c and keep food cold. I had gas range so was able to cook and the neighbor Ladies would use my stove to cook their food and leave me a plate behind. Sorry that had to end..

MRE's aren't really that bad once you get used to them.

And lastly, People really show their goodness and compassion after going through something like that. Our neighborhood would get together at someone's driveway, cook a bunch of food and help each other out. Out of electricity for 2 1/2 weeks and truthfully, hated to see power back on because people went back to their separate ways.
