Two hours later, shortly before 4 p.m., beachgoers spotted the body in the surf behind the Outrigger Motel, 4344 El Mar Drive, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and pulled it ashore. While the death toll was much lower than expected, David caused major disruptions in power service.

"If we let this be taken care of in the usual manner, it might be months before the road was repaired. We're going to have to treat this on an emergency basis and move right ahead with it" In the wake of the power outages, police reported little apparent looting. Oakland Park police arrested two men burglarizing a Dixie Highway business early yesterday but could not directly attribute the crime to storm-related theft Along the Fort Lauderdale beach, several burglaries were reported by area residents returning to homes late yesterday. "We've had maybe as many as 10 burglaries along the beach," said one detective. could be about normal for the Labor Day weekend, though.

A lot of people leave town for the weekend, and it seems that the victims are discovering the burglaries late Monday as the holiday ends." He added that most of the burglaries were residential, not commercial, and were petty enough that many might be classified as the lesser crime of larceny. In Pompano Beach, burglars looted seven mobile homes at the Haven wood Mobile Home Park, 36 Havenwood Drive. Stereos, television sets, cash and jewels weere taken by thieves who ripped off boards the residents had used to cover windows and doors, according to Dale and Marjorie AngdahL park managers. Mrs. Angdahl said none of the mobile homes suffered ssevere damage from the storm.

All of Broward's public schools were open as scheduled, but a storm-caused leak in Nova Blanche Forman Elementary forced a number of students to be temporarily moved to other classrooms. Leaking water also touched off a small electrical fire which did little damage. The storm did little major structural damage to buildings despite the large number of downed trees. In Davie, one farmer reported five cows electrocuted by lightning. Overall, county and city officials felt Broward residents survived David in admirable shape.

"I've been through hurricanes before," said Mayor Shaw, "and this one was nothing compared to what could have happened if we had been hit really hard. "We were lucky Mother Nature didn't hit us full force." service was cut to as many as 100,000 customers. Central and South Broward were hit hardest by power outages. An FPL spokesman for the company district extending south from State Road 84 said at least 10 feeder lines affecting Hollywood, Hallandale, Miramar, Dania and Pembroke Pines were damaged. The major feeder lines and about 125 individual lines downed by the high winds were being repaired through the night and this morning.

FPL officials said they hoped to have most service restored by later today. Crews from as far away as Fort Myers were called in to help, and some had been working for as long as 48 hours without sleep. Power company spokesmen said reports of disrupted service to various municipal water and sewer plants were handled on a priority basis.

Boulevard and Northwest 31st Avenue. State Department of Transportation crews were expected to join city workers in surveying the worst area of damage a five-block stretch of A1A just north of Sunrise Boulevard. In some portions of the area, three of four lanes of pavement of A1A were torn up. Rough surf during the peak of Hurricane David early yesterday undermined the sandy bed beneath the road, causing the pavement to buckle in huge chunks. Sileo said police had closed the damaged stretch of A1A to all but local residents trying to return to their homes.

Fort Lauderdale Mayor E. Clay Shaw, who visited the devastated street early yesterday morning, said it might be weeks before it is repaired. "We've had our road people out there all day," said Shaw. "They've been clearing away the downed trees and other debris, and we hope to get one lane open in the next day or two. "But before we can get that street back in first class condition," Shaw said, "I'd say we're talking about a period of at least a couple of weeks." Shaw said he would contact state transportation officials today in the hope of getting the road resurfaced on WIDTH AAA xx xxx AA xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xx Jordan Marsh.
