I woke up to a palm tree in thrashing against my window making the most awful sound I've ever heard. Everything's still in it's place but the palm frawns (sp?) scared the crap out of me.
It's very windy and rainy here. Yesterday we barely got any rain at all, today our pool is over flowing!
Very worried about my aunt and uncle now. I just got their exact location from my mother. They are going to take an almost direct hit. I'm sure they've probably already evacuated, but I'm also sure their home is going to take a beating.
The news guy said he was worried about Ohio - that it's already saturated and is probably going to recieve a lot of this rain.
Put your rain boots on PT'ers!
Nowhere is perfect, but, hey, Kay, Val, Amber, all of you, are welcomed here. You can just camp out here with me, Klo and John. It'll be fun and safer! Door's always open!
Duke would love to see his girlfriend! We need to find good pics of both of them and put them in a scene together. I think that would be fun.
I'm sorry I haven't followed this PTers! I wish you all the luck and stay safe please! :( For those that can't make it in right now, becuase of protection for your families and pets, check in with us A.S.A.P! Prayers are being sent out now!
Karen, you know i'd love that. You've been one of the people i've beeing hoping to meet for a while. And since you and Pam live pretty close, I could meet Pam, Bella, Ripley, Robyn, and Harlee!
I bet Klo is even prettier in person. ;)
There is a lot of debri in our yard, mosty just a bunch of sticks.
The only damage we got was a trellece(sp?) with a plant on it fell over and ripped the plant in half. I heard chainsaws this morning so i'm sure there's a few branches/trees down somewhere. Everyone was expecting the worse here.. there were houses boarded up and everything.
We got some sunshine today! Sunshine?! What's sunshine?!
My parents and I drove out to the beach. It was pretty amazing.
Here's two pictures from that. I didn't get any pictures of it, but you could see seaweed piles up to the road, so I know the water went up pretty high.

Glad you and the muttlies are safe, - oh, and it's spelled "fronds" - palm fronds! I hope your uncle's house did well, people are saying because Dennis moved so much faster than Ivan did, that the damage wasn't as severe in some places.
All the Pet Talkers and those they love in Dennis' path are still in our prayers.
Thinking of what you poor folks are going through right now. Hope you are all safe and sound. Won't moan about UK weather for a while ;)
Ohio? Wonder what part of Ohio he was talking about? Our grass is dead here from lack of rain :confused:Quote:

Well I'm checking in...all is well at my house. No damage done and no tree limbs/branches down. Just the ones from the other day when it rained (that wasn't even during a Hurricane)!! I had no internet at work Saturday night so I couldn't check in with everyone. Anywho, we got lucky again with this one. I do believe our luck will run out soon as we have been "lucky" for so long as to not get a direct hit on the Tampa Bay area. And yes, it's bright and sunny outside. Hope everyone else is okay.

Sorry,
Didn't mean to ignore..My computer was down all day yesterday..
No we are only getting intermittent t-storms....
It looked as if by the time it hit land,that it dissipated a bit and was a Cat.3...Still nothing to ignore...
Kaye,I hope that your Uncle,Aunt and 2 pups are fine...in watching the news it looks as if everyone in the panhandle either evacuated or took proper shelter...
I saw where hotels were allowing people and their pets to at least stay in their lobbies for safety...thought that was nice of them...they didn't have rooms,but theres' alot of safe space in a lobby....
it looks like there was wind and rain damage,but sounds like the people were safe...
Hope Everybody up there is alright...
KayAnn that would be soooo much fun. I was just telling Robyn what you said and we both decided that we would try and get you to help us pose our dogs with bones on their noses! LOL! :p In fact, Harlee starts obedience school on Thursday night and Robyn said she wouldn't even need to send her if you would come up! LOL!Quote:

Oh, and yes Klo is much prettier in person. She has the sweetest brown eyes! :)
Well we didn't much as expected either. All we got is pretty much rain.
My mom talked to my uncle Terry earlier today.
They said they are without power and cable, but no damage to their home. They didn't evacuate. Things weren't as bad as last hurricane because this time it moved by quikcly while the last hurricane was slower.
Thank gosh they're okay, and thanks to whoever was thinking of them. :)
Yes, Pam, I'd LOVE to help with Harlee's training! :p :D
Yeah!!
Glad All is Well!!!
Yes, this was a Weird Hurricane...but Keep in mind there are 2 Tropical Storms Right Behind Dennis!!!
His Back Up, I Imagine!!!
