Oh dear. I'll share my Reese's- my malted mlik bals are GONE.
Lost power for a bit- friend who works at Florida Hospital had to go in and dropped her dog off with me. She lost her roof in Charley and isn't taking any chances!
Very windy here in Central FL- still pouring rain and temp is in the low 60's.
On local news heard about a woman in Brevard - she was sleeping when her house was LIFTED up off the ground and plopped in the street - the mattress landed on top of her - saved her life.
Surprised how windy it is here.
Thank God! I can only imagine how relieved you are!
lol....I won't.
So happy they called piperpilot.
Pulled on a long sleeved shirt here too.
The bumpkin neighbors left their full size trampoline out in the storm. It just now flipped and landed on their truck. :::rolling eyes:::
That is truly outstanding news. I'm glad they made it through OK.
Glad to hear she's hanging in there. Godspeed NN Mom:)
CITY OFFICIAL AT POMPANO BEACH REPORTED 120 MPH GUST ON CITY WIND METER
That is Duval Street. Not North Roosevelt across from the Wal-mart or is K-mart?
Wondeful news! Prayers answered.
Thank GOD. I'm so relieved for you- your parents have been in the prayers of many FReepers.
JEB up at 10 AM for news conf.
Does anyone know if Rush stayed in Palm Beach for this?
Stay safe Florida Freepers and families.
Great news!
Had a look at the rain gauge when I took the dog out just now. 4.5" so far, this storm
I'm guessing, from the relatively low thread posting traffic, that most of our FReepers in harm's way are out of power for the duration . . .
Have you lost your spare boat or picked up any new ones?
Sounds like you are fortunate enough to live upwind from them.
Oh no! Kind of want to laugh about that. THe first hurricane I ever went through I put "everything" inside -and- figured if a little tape on the windows was good then a lot of tape would be even better LOL. There were 1 inch squares of window to peer through, it was a mess to get off the next day once the sun came up.
Status from near 28.2N 82.5W -- Rain up to about 3/4", overnight low 58.1F, gusts 25-30, no damage noted, no trees down, wind mostly from due north.
One positive thing I'm seeing in the last couple of years is no tape on windows.
