I do too!

Things are getting a little dry up here now. My son's happy since he won't have to mow this week! We do have some thunderstorms forecasted today though. We'll see. I won't hold my breath. Glad to hear YOUR not flooded and still have power?!

[DeeDee]

I seen your thunderstorms on the weather channel. Good luck

we lost power but only for about 4 hours. Just long enough for it get really hot inside.

What happened to that generater you have. Did we try that out yet.

My side has a full ditch in front and across the street. They have had schools closed because lots of the roads are underwater. Nr 1 daughter said of few of the winds got her a little nervous. This is her 1st real one since moving down there. Over 2 ft of rain. The only time it quit was when the eye was directly overhead.

[Gary Crichton]

Where does all the water go. I bet she is a little nervous.

Dee Dee must be out building an ARK and getting the cats in order.

[UdeLakeTom]

Back out to the ocean I would guess. The rest evaporates or fills the swamps. She is close enough to the coast to have it go back to sea.

[Gary Crichton]

Well they should not complain about a drought for a while.

G.C.

[Gary Crichton]

Earth to DEE DEE, how is the ARK coming along..

G.C.

[Lisa Almquist]

She must be putting the finishing touches on it!

[DeeDee]

LOL you guys are so funny! Havent used the generator yet,(3 years) we only lost power for a short time.

I have thought about building an ark but I figure since I have a boat here I'd just use that.

Tom - tell your daughter that Faye was nothing to worry about. That was just a very long thunderstorm. When a real one hits cat. 2 or higher she will have to change her breeches . They include kick a** winds, lightning, tornados, flooding etc etc etc But she also wont be there when it comes thru she will be forced to evacuate. I have been here for way to many years and 2004 was the worst I have been thru. 4 hurricanes (3 in '04) and a number of tropicals like faye was. Now when Andrew came thru they had to rebuild pretty much all of S. Florida.

[DeeDee]

OH and by the way theres only 1 kitty

and another storm brewing

and new sink holes (curtesy of flooding)

Many retention ponds to hold water.

BUT it stopped raining!!!

[UdeLakeTom]

I just sent her you reply...I'll see what she thinks!!!

The 2004 one was the reason her hubby went down there for work and they decided to move down there.

[DeeDee]

What time of year did they visit? I would love to meet your daughter someday. I get excited when folks from MN visit. Its so fun to chat with them.

[DeeDee]

Tom - Also tell her to keep and eye on Wave 94L and Wave 95L. she can check out flhurricane dot com to follow them. They are the next 2 possible storms. Right now its way to early to really think about.

[UdeLakeTom]

He went down there in the fall right after I think it was Charlie. They moved down there the next spring. Sometime when Grandma and I are down there, we have to get together.

She just came online, so I will see what she replies.

[DeeDee]

That would be great. We could meet in Daytona for some deep sea fishing.

Charlie, stripped my roof

Frances, flooded my house and

Jean, just p****d me off.

[Lisa Almquist]

Holy mackerel DeeDee! You've been through FOUR hurricanes? Guess I have to stop whining about our weather! Yup, it's official-start packing-you're moving back girl!

[DeeDee]

Yup, it's official-start packing-you're moving back girl!

Could you please tell my family that?! Gotta tell ya lady when I do make it back up there for whatever reason one of the first things I'll have to do is look you up, go to the pub and have an ice cold one. Of course everyone will be invited

and yup, Fay would have been #5 but I still have a chance at 2 more in September.

[UdeLakeTom]

Did I see that you have a forecast for rain????It looked like all week. Because Melbourne has it's schools closed, my grandkids don't have school either and my daughter doesn't know when they will be going back.

[DeeDee]

It hasnt rained yet today (knock on wood), The public schools were open Monday then closed for the rest of the week. I havent heard about schools in her area. I know it was supposed to rain through Thursday the 28th.

[Gary Crichton]

Dee Dee sorry, somehow I had the impression you had more than 1 cat. I have no idea why........

G.C.

[DeeDee]

not a problem

[glenn57]

had our own little hurricane here last nite. thunder lightning and 3/4inch of much needed rain. no big winds though, that can stay away.
