Ivan is a cat 5 now. They are ordering people on the Florida Keys to get ready to evacuate tomorrow. I'm hoping when it goes over Cuba, it weakens.
Prayers on the way for all in it's path.:(
I honestly would love to move out of this state too. I would head to Maryland, where a lot of Justin's family live.
I can't handle the stress of these storms. I am scared that it will take my house and most of all I am worried about the safety of all my babies. I can't even begin to tell you how stressful it is to have to move all of our 36 animals out of our mobile home to a "safe place". It's not at all easy.
One of the hardest things is people don't have enough time to get repairs done before the next one hits. And there are no supplies anywhere. Food is scanty, it took us a couple days to even find a store that had milk. Shelves are bare of almost everything. Stores are getting shipments in, but the demand is much greater than the supply right now. Good luck getting gas. Also Justins and my work are both suffering because of the storms. I work at a boarding facility and Frances hit on labor day weekend, one of our busiest times. We were so pose to have a full house and ended up having to close, that's a big loss of income. Which means cut hours for me and the other girls I work with.
It's supposed to come in a path similar to Charley's original path.
They said thoughon the news, that there's a Canadian cold front coming down this way that could possibly push it back out or somewhere other than Florida.
May sound mean, but it's someone else's turn to get hit. Florida's had enough.
I heard from my brother-in-law today in Key West. He is being evacuated tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. He had sent me this picture (posted in this thread below) the night before Frances arrived and it totally missed him. He actually took the photo from his balcony. This time there will be no photos, cause he's outta there! :eek:

I can't believe it, a third hurricane. The weather has gone absolutely screwball. It's really cold here, just above freezing. 3 hours to the north of us they had snow today. Everyone please take care of your families and your pets. I will pray that you all remain safe. All the best!
3 hurricanes in 6 weeks of each other. I can't take any more of this. I can't take losing any more pets or coming home and finding another piece of my home gone. I'm really ready to leave Florida. After each one my home gets more damage, if a thrid one hits our home wont take it.
And this time there doesn't seem to be any place we can go to. West coast is out, sense that looks like where it's heading. The East coast is already damaged from this last one. My Father's house is in Port St. Lucie, where we would normaly go, but as you know that area took the hardest hit this last time. So his house was damaged and that area has no power or water.
We have beed trying to figure out where the best place to run to is, if we have to leave. There's no place left, safe in Florida. :eek:
And I so worry about my Father. He's in St. Pete right now. (tampa area) sense he can't go back home. So if it hit that coast, where is he going to go, he's to old to take all this. His house is damaged, mines in the middle of the state and we know thats not to safe.
I'm ready to scream and cry at the same time!!!!! To much to worry about all at once, it's like one big huricane sitting over us for weeks, no time even breath a sigh.
GO AWAY IVAN!!!
We would love to have you here in Ohio, Kay :p You can go ahead and send that cutie pie, Kiara. Oh heck, send all three of them. I'll keep them safe for ya! ;)Quote:
