Unless someone on the island can report, it might be tough to get any information. Hilma does not do the internet and I do not have her phone number. Hopefully she is ok and her business will return.

I just watched a video that showed the area where Hilma was located. I did not see her trailer in the video at all. I am hoping she perhaps moved it elsewhere. The area where Hilma was located is at about the 5:02 minute mark. Below is a link to the facebook video. LinkI hesitate to say it is "gone" but I do not see the trailer in the usual spot.

Do we know the date that video was taken? I was actually surprised at the number of buildings where the roof was intact. Before any commercial flights can resume, definitely looks like, regardless of any other damage to the airport itself, they have to replace virtually the entire airport fence, for security reasons.

One villa owner from the Pelican Key area reported minimal damage and friends who rent in that area implied the unit they use was not heavily damaged.

Did anyone figure out if Hilma’s is still open? Nothing to figure out. Long gone.

Hilma was a joy to talk to but she did things her way and at her pace. In conversation with her, she was under the impression that the United Sates consisted of "Texas, New York and Cleveland." Prior to Irma I took her an old road atlas I had laying around so she could take a look and see what the US consisted of and where her many loyal customers came from.
I miss her, the johnny cake sandwich she made and a cold Heineken or Coors Light for breakfast.

Any local place should have a decent johnny cake.

What great memories! Are there other places you might recommend for Johnny Cakes? My vote for the best Johnny Cakes is Yvettes.

Never had the Johnny cakes at Wilma’s but I, too, can attest to how good they are at Yvette’s. And every meal served to our group was equally yummy. If you haven’t been there you need to do so. 🙂🙂
