Boy, you got that right, Scarlett. My son just left this a.m. for 5 days at Disneyworld. Yikes!
Last word: they arrived at noon, light rain. Word about town is that it will rain tonight, then let up again. I know I've got my fingers and toes crossed!

This is no big deal. Thanks for your thoughts. We are brave pioneers -- and just a little bit crazy. Floridians are glossing over this one -- why fret the small stuff? We're saving ourselves for the Big One.

I just read that two people have already been killed. One person sitting in their car was killed by a downed tree and a pedestrian was killed by a downed tree.
Yes Scarlett, although this hurricane is not headed for JAX you sure got to Portland at the right time.
I don't know how the residents of Florida keep living with these hurricanes, I would think it would be a nightmare.
Hope all of you in Florida are safe!

This afternoon my niece and great-niece (mother and daughter) stopped by with a surprise visit. They are driving from Ohio to Miami where my great niece has a graduate class beginning on Monday. They especially wanted to visit with my mom (grandmother/great-grandmother). They didn't have a clue about the storm coming and I told them to spend the night here, but they became worried about tomorrow being even worse for the drive across the state (which is probably right) so at 4 PM they headed across Aligator Alley. They called about 7 to say they made it. They were in the middle of quite a storm -- I guess so, since it's a category one hurricane now -- but they had no problem.
Ah, youth.

Yes Patrick, youth!!! I would have been staying with you until this hurricane had passed. I am sure glad they made it alright and know how you must have been relieved to get their call when they arrived. Take good care.
