Ft. Lauderdale, here, and it's raining like crazy right now.

 

[Brennin]

Sorry to hear that.

Hah!

 

[SandyLou]

send me a little of that rain. hey, are you in line for this most recent tropical storm?

 

[AngylBelle]

They just stated that it as at our latitude right now (Homestead, FL) so we are likely to miss the brunt of it. But I figure it being the 13th anniversary of my town being destroyed by Hurricane Andrew today, the rest of you can have Katrina! No offense...

 

[Peculiarone]

Heard the hurricane coming our way.

 

[SandyLou]

Yeah, I'm in Polk County (where we got four direct hits last year). . . so Katrina is just expected to dump a lot of rain on us.
Praying for those more directly in the path.

Good for you! It's best to start out slow...Hurricane Andrew was my first...and well, if there is a word beyond devestation, I can't think of it right now. Needless to say I am pretty paranoid of hurricanes since then. But you are right, so far so good with Katrina. We are still under a warning, though and expecting 10-15 inches of rain, but the eye is north of us (near Hialeah) so I am quite happy about that! Good luck to you through the rest of the season!

Yeah, I shoulda kept my mouth shut. Stupid Katrina downshifted for a surprise attack on Homestead!! The flooding down here is unbelievable...the worst we've had in a few years. My pool started to overflow into my reckroom (coverted garage) so last night I had to deal with going out in the storm (yes, that was me outside looking like a wet dog trying not to get struck by lightning and at the same time not fly away!) to drain some of it, start pumping water out of the room to salvage the carpet, but then at 1:30am the power went out (so to bed I went)...and stayed out until about two hours ago. But it is still raining so when I try to empty my wet vac I let just as much water in as I am dumping out! It is a lost cause until tomorrow I think. Oh well...my beau's parents still don't have power so I shouldn't complain...although their house is still dry inside!!

May you dry out soon. Katrina is gone but it looks like New Orleans is going to get hit harder.

 

[SandyLou]

just checking in with all the Florida peeps. . . how's everyone doing?

 

[Estefana]

I am a Miami girl, but I go to college in Michigan - I wonder how I will deal with the cold!

 

[AngylBelle]

Homestead/Florida City here...hope you all are preparing for Rita! After the surprise attack from Katrina, I'm not taking any chances . Stay safe South Florida!

 

[straightedge]

Bring it on Rita. Residing in Davie, so I'm pretty far north of the center. My Uncle lives on Sugarloaf Key, which is a couple keys north of Key West.
