Free, this is a great post! I just love how your colorful personality comes through in your backgrounds and borders. You make me smile. :-)

And, your "top ten" are great! Especially this one....
9. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit didn't try to stop it. LOL.

There is something about a storm, isn't there? Of course, not one that does property damage or takes lives....but, I think there is something exciting about a good rip-roaring storm. Maybe it's just me. I live in an area where we don't get many exciting storms.......we are lucky to get any rain at all between May and the end of October.

But, I know, for those in Isabel's path, the damage was extensive, and I am so very thankful that this hurricane wasn't any worse than she was.

Hello sistahs and FRiends. Hugs all around!

Thanks. Hurricanes are serious things, so when I say Isabel is like a Democrat -- well, you can make fun of a Democrat but there's no doubt that they can do serious damage. tsglTakoma's war story and photos of that tree are proof of that! So I just hope no one thinks I was making light of the power of the hurricane: believe you me, I didn't even think of going outside while it was going on!
