Well it looks like Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay is headed our way.  It probably should be here sometime early tomorrow, but I don’t expect it to be too bad.  They obviously closed down school tomorrow, which is funny since today was the first day of school.  I just need to bring in some chairs and plants from outside and that is about all I’m going to do.

Went to get the store to get some gas and some food, and they were both crazy with stupid people running around like an asteroid was about to hit. 

The first squalls are starting to move in, so to anyone else in Florida, keep safe and keep your head down.  Please use this thread to check-in and let everyone know how you are doing.

Luck, We don't need no luck, we're in a rickety mobile home sitting awkwardly, leaning on some uneven breeze blocks.

That kind of thing happens every year...like people don't learn or something. I spent 4 years in North Carolina (95-99) We got a couple of doozy's then, Fran and Bertha. We were locked in our barracks with no power for about 3 days. I remember using Hubba-Bubba to seal up the seams in my windows where water was coming in.    Also building a little damn out of towels in front of my door and wringing them out about every 30 minutes so my room wouldn't flood. Aaahhh good times...  

Anyway, stay safe Floridians and anyone else in the path. Keep us posted.

So what you're saying is that if brains were dynamite, some people wouldn't blow their hats off (even) in a hurricane.

Also, all the best of luck to all in Kay's path - I've been through some cyclonic weather here in Oz and know the extent of Mother Nature's wrath, so here's hoping for nil to zero injuries and property damage for all.

Be careful what you wish for.

I'd love it!

Now don't get me wrong. I don't wish for the death of people or the destruction of property. But once you take those things out of the equation I find big storms to be one of those dark things you can find beauty in.

Agreed... once death and destruction is set aside
