sue d. miller Posted September 26, 2004 #176 Share Posted September 26, 2004 If It were me, I would start today. By tonite many will have returned home. Grab a hotel for the night and you will be rested tomorrow. But that is me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flacrusrs Posted September 26, 2004 #177 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Good luck driving down, I would also start today so you can take your time. I think I-95 is your best bet. Crossing my fingers and toes we keep our power. So far so good. Roof tarps are no longer on the roof. DH is checking it out--here we go again. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted September 26, 2004 #178 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Morning, Fla!! Is all the ice cream gone?? My house is five years old, and it did more creaking than I do, all night long!! :eek: Sorry about the tarps. Pain in the neck!! Do you have any water left in the pool??? Enough questions!! Have a great day!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flacrusrs Posted September 26, 2004 #179 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi to you too, Sue. Pool is fine, except for the boards floating around in it from the roof. I just about died when the power went out a few minutes ago but it came right back. My surgery is tomorrow (knee) and I think they might need electricity! Glad you did OK. A five year old roof certainly has a better chance than my 11 year old one. Pretty soon I will be all set with a new one--if the canes stop long enough for them to do it! We had one gust of wind last night around 5am that was as strong as any I ever felt, including Charley. Ice cream is all gone, darn, I could have used some last night. my freezer is full of meals for the guys while I am gone and all of us for when I get home. I am sweating out the electricity staying on but I think we are OK. Good to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacrusrs Posted September 26, 2004 #183 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Thanks Barb and Sue. Sue, I will keep that in mind--never know when you might need ice cream. :) I know I will do fine--I want to get better fast so I can CRUISE. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk888 Posted September 26, 2004 #184 Share Posted September 26, 2004 10:15AM and the rain is coming in horizontally in Central St. Pete. Wind has really picked up too. My son has been clamoring for action. Looks like he's finally going to get it! Fortunately for us, the storm is now Cat 1. It's really pouring now. Best of luck to all.

auntieann Posted September 26, 2004 #191 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Sue, Have you heard from Jemingway yet. Wonder if the alcohol therapy worked too well! Glad to hear most you made it through the night ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted September 26, 2004 #192 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Not yet auntiann!! Not since a little after midnight. I have heard from Wendy, and she is OK. She is in the same area as he is. Maybe he is having a good sleep!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Dawg Posted September 26, 2004 #193 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Glad to hear you weathered another storm & are checking in... remember to still be careful in the aftermath of that beast. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted September 26, 2004 #194 Share Posted September 26, 2004 We both slept through the night -- without alcohol therapy! What does that mean? Will we, in the future, be like the people you hear about who move from the city to the country and can't sleep because it's too quiet or the crickets keep them up? Maybe we won't be able to sleep unless we have pounding rain and howling winds:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trijntje Posted September 26, 2004 #195 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I would like to say that I keep you (people involved in the hurycanes)in my mind and I often think of you. I 've once been involved in a hurrycane in Florida and I realy hope that you all are o.k. and that the damage on your propertie is not that bad. We don't have hurrycanes in the Netherlands, so the only thing I can do, is keep on coming to Florida and enjoy your wonderfull and friendly state. And keep on cruising from Florida!!! Love from the Netherlands(I keep my fingers crossed for you) Trijntje:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted September 26, 2004 #196 Share Posted September 26, 2004 LOL!! It is pretty sad, when you start getting used to it!! Mary, we will all have to get those sound machines with hurricanes on it. We can take those on the cruise too!!!! :eek: ;) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyG Posted September 26, 2004 #197 Share Posted September 26, 2004 [COLOR=Purple]Now...the therapy they have in the Netherlands....:) Yeah, where is Jemingway anyway? I've been up since 7:30. had breakfast, took down the shutters (there wll be NO MORE HURRICANES THIS YEAR) and walked around the entire neighborhood. We really were lucky this time. No major or minor damage as far as the eye can see, I haven't gone out in the car yet. It's weird, but the sun is shining, drizzles on and off and it's still a bit windy, but you'd never know that 11 hours ago a hurricane passed by. I hope all of you in North & Northwest Florida are doing ok! [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
