Although power was out for a bit - couple of days and the phones are a bit spotty...

Lost alot of trees but the house is intact, although at 2am when the winds switched from the north to the south it sounded like a freight train was banging on the shutters covering the sliding glass door :huh:

And this was only a category 2 storm.... if a bigger one comes you can bet I will be among the first to flee :lol:

Just wanted to drop you all a note to let you know what was up - I will likely be busy at work and home for a bit - there is a terrific mess at both locations :ph34r:

:)

Glad your safe buddy. I've got family up there too. Glad your doing ok. Keep well mate

Glad to hear you are ok JD, did the rugrat sleep through it all ? And at least you now know your storm shutters need looking at :D

Hopefully by then it wont be much though but do expect a lot of flooding. Seeing as it only takes 2 more inches to be at flood level within a week. Already had a flood warning this morning. :(

God I hope it stays west.

And thuderstorms as I speak.

Hurricane Hugo was the last to hit us.

The same 160mph. Causes lots of damage. :(

hurricanes are on everyone's mind whew, we have family waiting to flee from IVAN supposedly soon blah, blah, blah in Biloxii, Mississippi. They really don't have anywhere to go to. I think my gf (who's also from Florida... Orlando) is sweating it more than they are, her grandbaby (1yr old Jackson), and one on da way are her pride&joy, those graphic news stories / live videos are really stressing her atm.... must calm down. Hope it changes direction think was coming from Panama... not sure now.
