Some businesses alongside U.S. 1 in Bunnell were flooded. Others were open and filled with people on Friday, Sept. 30, a day after Tropical Storm Ian ravaged Flagler and Volusia counties.
The Chicken Pantry in Bunnell was crowded at 11:30 a.m. with people ordering a late breakfast or early lunch. Men were getting haircuts at a nearby barber shop. But mostly people were outside of their homes, cleaning up debris or helping a neighbor.
James Everett was hauling branches out of his friend Caroline's backyard on White Wood Place. Margarida Silva was raking up her neighbor's front yard on Fellowship Drive.
Two Matanzas High School students, Ben Apfelbach and Antonio Misztal, went to their usual fishing spot under the bridge at Long Creek Nature Preserve on Palm Harbor Drive. The day after the storm was a perfect day to catch black drum, red drum or snook, they said.
On Bud Hollow Drive, the generators were buzzing after a tree fell on power lines at about 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, cutting off electricity to the street. A day later, the utility pole was still emitting smoke. The top of the pole had burned through and fallen off. The mounted transformer was tilted to the side.
"It's smoking like a cigar," resident Bill Vodek said, pointing to the severed pole.
