Dear Residents of Lauderhill:
Tropical Storm Ernesto has passed, with minimal damage. Though the storm may have passed, you can still expect rain and gusts of winds. Bands are still expected at times throughout the area, and the failure to take caution could result in injury. Please proceed carefully in conducting any outdoor activities.
As of 1 AM this morning the Lauderhill EOC closed. Regular garbage service is expected to resume Thursday. Because of the minimal damage, we do not believe the need for any special hurricane bulk trash pickup to be scheduled. Parks and other city facilities will re-open as soon as arrangements can be made. This Sunday's Trinidad/Tobago Multi-Cultural Day is expected to proceed at the Lauderhill Mall. Gas stations are expected to re-open. There is no shortage of gas in the area. Please do not drive out solely in search of gas.
If any problems arise that you find, please report them as needed. If matters should change, we will update as needed. Also, please listen to WQFF 1650 AM on occasion for further updates as well.
I realize that some may believe that it was unnecessary, and a waste of time, to prepare for this storm. However, this is not true. Storms are unpredictable, and only by pre-planning do you prevent the type of injury and damages that are possible. Your actions may have avoided the possibility of serious problems. We are only grateful that this time the storm did not live up to the potential we were advised about. That may not be true the next time.
Very Truly Yours,
Richard J. Kaplan
Mayor, City of Lauderhill
