If his name is "Paul" he is in Toronto Canada.

interesting, hearing stuff on the Grand Rapids feed, but not the FL feed which I sent you....

Oh how I wish I could e-mail you all of our chocolate. How's the popcorn and caffeine supply?

[Sam's Army]

Any news on CURRENT traffic conditions/gas availability for I-75 from Tampa to mid-Georgia?

That's a beautiful webcam view of downtown Orlando, Lainie. It almost looks like a painting!

usually you can enter the callsign into this website, and get the address for their license....if it comes up empty, you can usually Google it too and get a location.

I heard a Canadian sailboat last night giving reports....they were holed up in a harbor.

Chocolate is beginning to be rationed in the house. Things are not looking good.

You mean to tell me you didn't stock up on a hurricane munchie stash?

Amatuer. :)

[BurbankKarl]

last I read there were shortages of gas...they were telling people to drive to the western coast.

It's calm and sunny at the moment, but we've had 2 feeder bands pass through today with gusts of 50 or 60 mph. There's a few branches off trees, and some planted trees went down in the park nearby. Everyone is boarded up.

Hoping for the best, which is that she doesn't turn left any.

Thanks Karl! I will try that one, too.

This is the Deerfield, Florida feed I think you provided which has consistently clear feeds and not much static or interference:

Sitting here in VA Beach watching and waiting to hear from relatives all over the state of FL. Got myself a 6 pack of Killians Irish Red...

here's hoping it lasts the weekend...

At the rate this storm is moving, Frances won't make landfall until tomorrow afternoon. That is an awful long time to be battering a single spot.

And it's an awful long time to be sitting over the Gulf Stream while getting there.

Borrowed the new paint color from my next door neighbor. People are driving past the house to read all the windows...

Take sips, man, be strong! :-) God Bless and protect you and your loved ones.

Wow, you're taking no chances, even with Ivan!

I suspect I'll have to worry more about Ivan than you will. It's coming across so low it might brush Venezuela before turning north. It's a prime candidate to slip into the Gulf.

It's projected to be Cat 3 by Wednesday.

I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas & I am praying for the safety of *everyone* in this monsters path. Get to high ground, folks. Now!

[drjack]

Don't plan on buying gas until Tuesday.

I'm here in California. My elderly aunt lives in Port St. Lucie, and I'm worried about her. I learned that people from the mobile homes have been evacuated. Have you heard anything about where they might be?

[bd476]

Great boarding up, Nauti and that's lovely color coordination on the paint job. Glad to see that all your hatches are battened. Stay safe and God Bless.
