This story comes from somewhere in North Carolina...
The 2004 hurricane season still does not let go. The next storm Ivan is already on the way with a similar heading and path as Frances.

Did you know that the Florida Skydiving League has scheduled a make-up event in Lake Wales for this weekend? posted: Aug 24th, 2004 It was a bizarre week for the NSL headquarters in DeLand, Florida. Hurricane Charley left a devastating trail on its way across the state, which included the DeLand area. Skydive DeLand was without electricity for days, homes of local skydivers were without water and air condition for several days. However, the NSL office, which is located very close to the airport, did not have any problems at all with Charley.
The weather strike came with a delay for the NSL. When most of the victims of the hurricane had recovered, the building with the home of the NSL was struck by lightning last Friday,... (more)

Did you know that the Florida Skydiving League had a mini meet in Sebastian? posted: Jul 14th, 2004 It is not unusual and new that the hot Florida summer has never been the peak of the 4-way season. However, the fifth competition of the Florida Skydiving League last weekend was the one with the lowest attendance in the history of one of the oldest leagues in the country. FSL Director Kurt Gaebel was not really surprised with the low attendance. He has experienced the difference between winter and summer season in Florida for many years. He also knew that several of the FSL 2004 teams would not be able to compete at Skydive Sebastian.
DeLand Majik is still in Russia for a training camp from... (more)
