I have Tony's phone number but it is his landline. I will phone it later on today to see if anyone answers but I doubt it will go through. I read that the island has no power as of today. The link shows images of the wreckage caused by Ike. Amongst the wreckage I spotted what looks like a wooden kayak. It appears during the first few seconds of the CNN video. Tony's home was close to the shoreline and his kayaks were stored in a garage complex that Tony managed just one block from his home.
