Thanks Bruce....hopefully this storm will not wack us too much. Winds picking up pretty good and little trees down but nothing big yet.

I could focus on the damage and suffering that Charley, Frances and Ivan have caused so far but we have all seen too much of that so I tried to look for the humorous parts. Like the story of a coworker who lost the screening over his pool from Frances...much to the surprise of the squirrel which normally uses it to go from one tree to another...needless to say the squirrel ended up in the pool and then a quite pissed off squirrel came tearing out of there scattering the humans that were in the way....that kind of stuff. Would have loved to have had a high speed camera on that squirrel as he passed through the space where he thought the screening would be

All right, another Floridian! Hope you all fair okay through this, FLDragon. Everyone here in Tampa seems so sick and tired of these things that we all just don't care, anymore. There haven't been any runs on water, food, or gasoline even though there is a fair chance we'll lose power as Jeanne crosses the state.

More than anything, it would be nice to have a single, decent weekend for a change. I'm getting sick of staying inside.

Patience, Kit. You offically have 2 months left in the hurricane season.

This has been one of the worst summers for outdoors activities. I haven't been able to go kayaking in months because each weekend it either storms or we get a hurricane. Bicycling has been put on hold because all of the bike trails and parks have been submerged and closed. Even camping in the fall looks like a possible loss just because the rivers aren't going to go down anytime soon.

"Sunshine State", my ass! Oh, wait, we have had sunny, beautiful days! They're called, "The days I've had to go to work!"

I really feel for you Floridians down there having to 'weather' all these hurricanes. I sincerly hope you've seen the worst of them, you've really had your fair share. My parents have a winter trailer home in Florida and they're wondering if they'll have a place left to go to this year. Look on the bright side,if there is one, in a few months you all will be watching or reading the news about how us Northerners are having to deal with winter snow and ice storms.

Keep your heads down and don't get too frustrated!

I'd have to say it is a bit rainy outside right now. A little wind, too. Yawn.
