Hello, Florida. We are so incredibly grateful to be talking with you today. After the two weeks we've all had, I'm pretty positive that the one thing that unites us all is a sense of, "What. Was. THAT?"

Also: Where do we go from here?

For some of us, life returned almost to normal, minus gas and groceries, relatively quickly. But for many of you, and some of our team as well, there's a new normal to be figured out. The road ahead may be covered in some water... but it's there.

We've been hustling all week to help clients. Every time power comes back on at one of our clients' businesses, when that firewall gets up and running again, it's a celebration here at DataCorps. Please know that we are cheering almost as loudly as you are. We're behind you 100%.

We know that many of our clients are the backbone of Tampa Bay, the people that are getting our towns moving again. We want to say how incredibly proud we are to be associated with the brave and tireless roofers, HVAC companies, plumbers and other home services businesses that are showing the whole country what makes Tampa special right now.

I was in Publix in Valrico on Tuesday morning. People were, and there was no other word for it, giddy. Hugging each other like old friends and taking careful stock of each other's well being. We're all just grateful to be here. I saw that continue on Tuesday night when a community right next to us experienced catastrophic flooding. So many generous people came out to donate their unused hurricane supplies that eventually, donations had to stop being accepted (don't worry- we helped coordinate a new place to go!) We know that there are still a lot of people right here in the Tampa Bay area who are hurting from the wrath of Irma. Our hearts break for you, and please know: we're doing everything we can. And we won't stop until it's right. We live in an incredible community where we've seen the adage, "We rise by lifting others," over and over again.

Tampa, we love you. We're honored to serve you. And we've never been more grateful to call you home.
