Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
QuoteIt's already kinda chilly outside!
Windy but barely raining now over here in Tampa.
Yes the temperature is BEAUTIFUL right now! Now only if there were a little sun with that chill.

It's dying down now, thankfully. They still don't want people on the roads though because they say many deaths occur after the storms are over. I'm catching up on chores...I just pulled out my refrigerator and cleaned the floor under it. That was gross.

QuoteOur high is only supposed to be 68 in my area tomorrow! Usually when we have hurricanes, it's still in the 90's and people who have no electricity really suffer. It's going to be so nice!
Umm...Sixties will suck without heaters. I prefer the 90s any day.

That is one of those chores that no one wants to do, so by the time you get behind there it is really nasty.
Hope you all haven't gotten too much damage from the storm.

Yesterday, I was at the HM boogie in SC.
At 4pm, I called in to our work number and the message was "business as usual".
At 5pm, I called my manager, "business as usual".
At 7pm, I hit the Florida state line and my phone rang. My contracting company, "stay home".
I could have stayed an extra day at the boogie.
Last night, I talked to people on the east coast and they said that their power would be cut at 7am.
In Zhills, it ils clear and windy right now. I'm going to go have lunch and then mow the lawn.

all's well in deland. as of 4am, nada. got a little wind (or "gustage", as a reporter on TWC called it ), 9am until about noon just some rain and a few smaller gusts (30-40ish MAYBE). i think we had larger gusts in the past 2 hours than we did during the passing of the hurricane itself.
it is quite strange to have had a hurricane blow thru and the temp outside is 66 degrees right now. it's gonna get COLD. brrrrrrrrrrrr.

It rained Sunday nite, but beyond winds, my part of Sarasota didn't even get any rain after daylight. But we haven't had electricity since 4am monday morning!
When I went for a walk around the neighborhood after dark last nite, I discovered that everyone in the area had lights except 6 homes including mine! Hmm....what is that all about?
So we went to Barnes and Noble and hung out there till it closed.....Caught up on the latest magazines....
Good excuse to eat up all the icecream and goodies in the freezer though! At least I have my gas camping cookset, everything else in the house is electric powered. Don't have internet, the modem needs power, so here I am at the local bookstore checking emails and DZ.com.
Thanks for your best wishes, everyone!

Well Fort Lauderdale got hit pretty hard. Power is out pretty much everywhere and they were saying that only 18 traffic lights were working in the county.
But they have water/ice stations setup, the grocery stores are open and well stocked(just no refrigeration) and people are cleaning up their yards and streets. The power/water system took a hit, but people's houses and buildings seem to have held up really well.
I'm at work with generators so I've had power all through this. As soon as they rotate me out I'll probably flee up north and camp at a dropzone until the lights come back on down here. If I'm not gonna have power, I might as well not have power while being at a DZ.

Typical Floridian.

I drove down Sunday night. Normally, Sunday night traffic is light, but this was real light. Who'd a thunk it? No one is driving into the hurricane with me except a line of tree-service trucks?

SHIT below 71 try below 75 Damit!

QuoteHere we go again
Current predictions show Hurricane Wilma making landfall somewhere south of Tampa on Saturday afternoon.
Damn! this isn't Wilma, but just another example of nature (Katrina)
