Well, Survived The Hurricane....

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

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

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

Yeah good to hear.

Yeah glad it was a 2. Last 4, Andrew of course. My cousnins sweet donkey house in Mimia, FL got totally destoryed. So yeah that would suck if it happened again. Glad it missed Mimia for the most part.

And here comes iven.

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.

I'm just glad this did not repeat this month.

The worst huricane in USA history.

Well poopie. Rain rain go away. Raning pretty hard.

Hope you don't have too much damage JacKDynne...

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.
