5:32pm on Tuesday 9/28, and it's been raining since 6am. Just over 3.4" so far. Thunderstorms, 30-35mph winds, tornadoes and widespread flooding in York and Lancaster Ctys, PA.

Nothing to sweat, compared to the folks down south.

I used to do it on a regular basis - it's not going to happen in this bed!

I'll let her go to sleep in my bed and then carry her back to her room!!!!

It started raining again but seems to have now stopped, the winds have calmed, but the heavy gusts are still there.

As I said early - I once again dodged the bullet, and believe me, I'm counting my blessings!

Rescue workers on North Hutchinson Island came across this two-by-four that apparently had been driven into the pavement by winds from hurricane Jeanne in the parking lot of Avalon State Park.

Alan Furet stands beside his beachfront home of 17 years, which was destroyed by Hurricane Jeanne. He and other residents of the barrier islands were allowed back to see their homes on Tuesday morning.

I know some of these folks. Decent company.

I don't know if anyone brought this up, but when Francis hit and WPB was in real bad shape, all the news stations switched to disaster mode for almost 9 days.

When Jeanne hit, WPB didn't do too bad, but both of the northern counties (Martin & St. Lucie) got nailed big time, so the local radio stations went back to normal programming in 2 days as WPB had gotten their electricity a bit quicker.

I guess it tell us which listeners matter and which don't. Rural vs. City. :-(

I was wondering about that. But looking at these pics, it tells me that PB County is still hurting. It seems the damage in PB County was more widespread than Martin or St Lucie.
Not too bad here, mostly erosion and flooding this time. Not as much structural as there was with Charley and Frances.

Actually I figured Vero Beach for getting the worse. They were on the northern band of the eye and never did get a break.

The other end of the eye was in Northern Palm Bch county. But all in all, programming went back in 2 days.

PS.. Yesterday the local Winn Dixie had 3 dozen packages of frozen boneless chicken cutlets. Price = $7.95 lb. Reg price is $3.49 lb. The entire meat dept was empty except for that chicken.

Price gouging?

The Winn Dixie (and super WalMart) near me tossed a bunch of stuff an their cooler, which was without power for many days (Charley and Frances). And then they stuck it back on the shelves to sell.

Publix is the only one who tossed everything that was temperature controlled.

"I don't need the newspaper. I live here :-)"

Although when my family was living in a devastated area after a hurricane (92), with roads impassable, most everyone's cars damaged in one way or another, no electricity to watch tv and no newspapers being delivered to within miles, nobody had a clue as to what was going on in the outside world, or for that matter, even in town, except through word of mouth and rumor.

Only when I was able to acquire a generator and light up the tv with it, did we really become acquainted with the situation in a larger way.
