TS Fay rained on me all night last night. It looks like it may clear up for a while now.

[Uncle Ike]

Thanks for the ping, NN...

I think I may hold off packing away my ‘storm stuff’ for a day or so......

[Ditter]

Oh dear I just told Mr. Ditter there wasn't one out there. We are planning on a week out of the state starting Thursday, here's hoping it doesn't come to Texas.

[blam]

See TS Fay here
It ain't over yet.

[NautiNurse]

A while...is a relative term.

I'm gonna catch a scolding for insisting that the hurricane screens be put away in the garage yesterday.

[I still care]

I am known to my friends as the human barometer.

This am I was dreaming about my pain, unable to wake up. I am really hurting now, even after breakfast. I have a feeling we are in for some good storming.

I told you it was coming back to get ya. LOL:>)

I still have 3 inches of standing water in my back yard and just finished cleaning the porch which had begun growing a layer of mold.

Florida is not in the mood for Gustav!

[NautiNurse]

NHC forecasts this one to intensify into a TS rather quickly, with the dreaded decrease in forward speed.

I was looking at that this morning as I was checking on Fay. Fay has ended our drought.
