Ready for Isaac??

[dcon1958]

Wish I knew how to post pictures of my poor tree

[chachi]

Im sorry you lost your tree but glad your staying safe

[dcon1958]

I know the tree is the least of our worrys. I had to laugh my husband was upset because now he has to mow the lawn in the sun. Have to keep a sense of humor. They are saying we may have another 10 hours of this! Enough all ready!

I guess our turn will start late tonight early tomorrow morning with winds in the 20-30 mph range, with around 1-2 inches of rain or more in some areas. Or at least that's what they are predicting. My daughter just got home from school and said they have canceled school for tomorrow.
Pray everyone is staying safe!

Now I dont know the damage and devestation of hurricanes we get tornados but some of tHese news reporters covering this thing are just idiots on Fox News at least. One reporter was standing in the wind kept getting knocked down because of the strong winds. Then another was reportiiing standing in waist deep water where a street used to be. I dont have to watch someone getting knocked down to get the severity of the situation it seems like they should be in shelter

They will do anything it seems to get a "good" shot/story! Personally I would tell the producer or whoever that the shot/story IS NOT worth my life and that he/she was more than welcome to go out and cover it while I watch from the safety of my home or local shelter .

I know, I thought they would have let them out today also, but I guess since it's not due to start raining here until late tonight, they let them have school today. But they are out tomorrow and Friday as well. Needless to say my son just got in and he's excited (high school) to be out till Tuesday. So the older 2 are good, but my toddler has sensory issues and is deathly afraid of storms so I am praying it won't be very bad.

We are suppose to get heavy rain and strong winds here from Isaac. They are also saying that it may cause some isolated tornados. This is what I get for telling Lisa Arkansas never has hurricanes.

My son is a senior and is hoping he does not have to go on Friday!

My son just got some upsetting news. He goes to a small school with less than 30 kids in his class. At the end of last year a classmate and his younger sister died in a car wreck. My brother-in-law passed away last week from injuries sustained in a car wreck. He just found out that three boys in his class was in a wreck today and one was taken to the hospital. Please keep the boys and the families in your prayers everyone!

When I lived in MICHIGAN we sometimes felt the effects from hurricane remnants. The arms and bands are far reaching......stay safe

But, I'm glad you still have power...I really hope everything continues to go well there, and I hope your street's pumps continue to efficiently work and keep the water out!!!! This is certainly a hurry up and wait game to see what happens!!

How are you doing today? You and your doggies have been in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad your tree didn't hit anything and that you still have power. It's amazing that you all slept through it! I'm happy that you are safe.

Oh no! The spinoff tornadoes from these storms are my biggest fear. Stay safe!

Unbelievable that this Cat 1 storm is still having 24/7 TV coverage and its misery keeps growing. Hearing about a dam break this morning and lots more people having to evacuate! Am praying for all of those sitting in the heat, damp and dark from the effects of this awful hurricane. I pray all of the people and doggies and animals affected by it are safe or soon made safe and returning to normal life doesn't take forever.
