From a person outside (western NY), you all are in my prayers.... (can't say y'all, I'm not from the south, even tho' my heart is there).... stay safe.
Howlin: thank for the ping!
Guienivere: (sp?) - glad you made it home OK.
Hope NautiNurse will make it home OK.
Blam: Is your real name Jim Cantori???????? :))))
I've used both...they jsut aren't working for me this year the fleas are that bad.
I've got friends without pets who are spraying their houses for fleas. We were sitting outside yesterday waiting for a friend to drop our daughter off and I had fleas all over me.....but we can't treat the yard until tomorrow afetr the grass gets cut.
This girl is getting better organized while over land.
I don't disagree with you at all.........one of the main reasons I spend so much time on these threads.........
It's out over the 'Glades - that's 'bout the same as being over open water...
Apparently only a few people can go on the walk at one time. I wonder if it is rickety, sort of to add to the excitement. I am unhappy about this. Next thing there will be a big gambling casino and signs hanging over the canyon.
The eye is over The Everglades; it's more a swamp than actual "land." That could be a contributing factor.
I use Program which sterilizes either the fleas or their eggs. Once a month tablet.
She's getting bigger.
Circulations tend to spread out while over land. Unfortunately, the marsh land of south FL does a terrible job of damaging the entire circulation. It's quite likely that there will still be something of an eye on radar as it hits the gulf coast.
The westernmost bands are starting to feel the affects of the bath water out ahead, and inflow is starting up again out of the north. She will pop right back to Hurricane as the eye exits (should be downgraded shortly).
I am surprised at how many people have had stuff like trees falling on their houses.
BTW USAA is superb.
Reportedly, a lot of Miami is without power.
Greta had that horrid Janie Weintrab on a cell phone conversation and Janie was without power and had lost her Ficus tree she had planted right after Andrew.
I think Sam Cree lives in Miami. Who else do we know?
Dr. Steve Lyons just THERE ARE THREE MORE SYSTEMS OUT IN THE Eastern Atlantic they're watching .. and one just dropped off Africa. Dear God!
We really, really need Katrina to visit Texas.....all that rain. ahhhhhhhhhhh
But no wind or tornados, please. :-)
From WFOR: FL 836 flyover ramp collapse at 97th Avenue in Miami.
One year about 20 years ago in Baltimore the fleas were so bad everyone had them. We went to the beach for two weeks and when we got back, we walked across a rug in our house and scores of fleas jumped up on us. It was unbelievable. We had to spray the yard and flea bomb the house multiple times,, shaved the poodle and cut off the cats hair and kept them inside. It was like sci fi or something.
Flea bombs from the vet work
The weatherman here mentioned that if they run out of names (a realistic possibility at this point), they'll start using Greek letters...
That's what I thought. That water is pretty darn warm and not too deep.
