Our power (which usually goes out when a cloud goes over) is still on thank goodness and thats FANTASTIC !! The reports are for more of the same wind and rain showers at least thru Friday. Last Summer we were so dry it was scary, this year its been just the opposite. |
I am still here, now. We went to a shelter last night, because of what they were saying on the news. Big mistake. What was good about it was I was able to take ALL 5 of my dogs with me. They were so good to my babies, 4 legged, and my 2 legged ones. I just felt so bad, and felt like I didn't belong there. We left this morning, came back home. Most of the people there were not families afraid of the storm or "Fay", or people living in mobile homes, or too close to the beaches, but homeless people. It broke the girls and my hearts. They did let us come and go as we pleased, so we went to Walmart and bought some things for these guys and girls. Snacks, blankets, playing cards, water bottles, etc. We are home now, and our power has not gone off at all. Wind gusts, up to 58 mph, small limbs have fallen on the house, and very rainy, but we are fine. We have food to eat in case the power goes out, something you do not have to cook. Schools are closed tomorrow. We are just saying inside. OK, that is how we are doing. Anyone else from the area? How did everyone survive in the rest of the State of Florida? South? Panhandle? Prayers are going out to everyone. Darlene
