I think it's crazy that people have to WORK in these types of storms. I wouldn't go to work and leave my babies home alone even if you paid me.
Best wishes for you, Val. There was a large pine tree right next to our house a few years back, and it always scared me during storms. Luckily, we cut it down. :) Be safe, and give good ole Duke a kiss for me.
Our area had a mandatory evacuation for manufactured homes, which is us. :( We loaded up the dogs, cats, birds, and rodents and took them to my work. We don't have facilities for the reptiles, so we had to leave them behind. After they were all settled in at the Inn (my work), Justin and I went to his parents house, which is where we are now. I've been crying so much. I can't handle the stress of being seperated from my babies, but Justin made me leave. I was only able to bring Buster to his parents house. I'm scared.:(
Well, ya know, I'm actually considered emergency personnell so I really can't complain. I just hope the winds have died down by morning time. I hate driving in that. A few years ago we had a bad storm and we thought we might be stuck at work. They brought over jail food for us to eat. It was horrible! I'll never eat that stuff again. Of course, I'm glad it was horrible because who wants inmates having gourmet food :p
Whew! I'm so glad to hear from you Val. I was just about to get on here for your Cell # and call you.
Kari please stay safe and i'll be thinking of you all.
I'm very happy it didn't hit us hard but now i'm even more worried about our friends!
Duke is barking at the wind :) It's getting really bad here now. I probably won't sleep worth crap tonight. Ugh. I don't want to go to work tomorrow!!
So glad to hear from all three of you! You will still be in my thoughts and prayers. Been watching the WC to keep track of the storm. My two aunts and one uncle live on the west coast, will see if my mom heard anything, will see her tonight.Today is my Dad's birthday Friday the 13th. I'm sure this is a Friday the 13th none of you in FL will ever forget!:eek:
I don't know how you can go to work when you have trees laying all over your property. I want to know what town you all live in, or what counties you are in because I see these bullitins all day but don't have a clue as to where you all are in relation to the hurricane! I talked to Jan about it and so there are 2 of us wondering where you are! We have had hurricanes up here in MA. We live on the shore area so know how bad- but not as bad as FL- it can get!
I'm in Pinellas. :)
We're just eating dessert now. My brother, Cusin, his wife, and baby all to home.
I'm really worried about Val now. It said hurricane-strength winds in Winter Haven and I believe that's where she is.
And Kari too. :(
You guys.. stay safe and check in ASAP and as much as possible!
I don't know where that is, but I'm glad you're safe! I hope Val and anyone else around there are ok too!
I'm glad your okay!:D I hope val will be okay too!
sorry about you 2 out there getting hit hard. Glad to hear that Kay is being missed some what. Prays still going out to you all there.
According to my dad, it just went by St Cloud, where Kari (Kblaix) is.
Lets all think of her and Val.. I hope they're ok. Hopefully thins thing dies off enough not to go up in the Carolinas or anything.
Talking to Val on AIM.. She's ok thank gosh!
I feel better now. I'm glad I checked in one more time tonight. Glad you're ok, KayAnn, and Val too.

Now lets just think about Kari! :(
