Glad all is okay with you and the family, Kay.

I'm sure power outtages will happen, but I hope everyone in Florida can check in asap.

They say 3.1 million are without power right now.

I hope all is well with everyone too!

Everything here is good! We were without power for 61/2 hours, which isn't too long compared to last year when we were without for at least a couple days (a week after Charley). Our yard is flooded and it's still really windy. The wether is so nice and cool, I love it!

Last night was really stormy, bad thunder, rain, and wind. Charlie was so scared. The rest of the animals handled it really well. Raisin was the only one other than Charlie who was scared, but she wasn't near as scared as Charlie.

This morning our power went out around 7:15. It was really stormy, but nothing too major. The only damage that we had was we lost a big bush that I wasn't to fond of in the first place.

Always look on the bright side!

We're okay on the East coast. YAY!!! The worst seems to be over. We got alot of rain and wind but nothing serious. I got the day off work which was nice. We're still getting some wind gusts occasionally but other than that, we made it through. The sun is shining right now and with the cold front coming in, the weather is picture perfect!! Glad everyone is safe everywhere else

I'm glad you and your family are OK Kay. I have been thinking about you. My brother-in-law in the Keys chose to not evacuate (only 20% of Key West evacuated this time). I was online *talking* with him last night and he said if he stopped e-mailing it meant he lost power. I haven't heard from him since then, but maybe he has been out checking out the aftermath.

Whew, I'm glad you guys are alright Kay!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

So glad you are all ok

CNN is reporting that Key West has no power and the only road in/out of the keys is partially washed away. Also they were saying only way in/out was by helicopter. You couldnt pay me to live down in gulf coast. We tell our relatives who are in Tampa, we'll take the 3 months of snow and occassional (which is very rare) tornado warning/watch anyday.

Thank you for that! I was thinking that was the case since I still have had no communication via the computer from him. He is a real photography nut and I assumed he was out taking pictures, which he may be doing! If so, I will share them. I imagine the phones are out too and unfortunately I don't have his cell #.

Your welcome.
Even if you had his cell # doubt it would work. Cell towers or lines probably are hit by flying debris and trees. I know in New Orleans trying to use cell phone wasnt an option. If you had satelite phones (news people use that kind of phone) they worked.
