Dear Hurricane Frances.... GO AWAY!

[Mil0Luv3r]

Ummm... Are you trying to say that we should stop the Gay marriages? Because well ummm my Aunt is gay....

[Kfamr]

Absolutely not.
I was saying, today's society has more 'important' things to do like try to ruin people's lives, Sarcastically saying when I say important, Rather than trying to stop something that kills people and animals and destroys our land.

I'm 100% for Gay Marriages and Homosexual relationships.

That is not what this thread is about anyways.

We can make it rain as well.
We can do alot of stuff but there's more important things to do such as ruin marriages for gay couples.
(No, those aren't towards you, it's towards how STUPID today's society is)


I cannot make my mom come with us. It's her choice to.

Huh???

[Kfamr]

What exactly are you confused about?

[Cincy'sMom]

It looks like this storm is headed more toward my dad and Delidog. If I am understanding the hurricane advisory page there is a 15% chance it will hit Ft Pierce, which is about 1/2 between them, By Friday. My dad is planning on flying home Thursay night, so I really hope if it is going tohit, he gets out first.

Prayers for all the Floridians!

Who knows though.. it could "pull a Charlie"...


Has anyone talked to DeliDog lately.. i haven't seen much of her since the last hurricane.

If I remember correctly, you dad is in Melbourne, right? I am just 40 miles inland from Melbourne.

During Charley we had NO warning, it turned toward us last minute. That day I left work at 1:00 and headed home. Justin went to the store to get a few items and didn't get home until 2. Then we went over to the house I was house sitting to check on it and their cats. We got back home at 3 and started loading up the animals in their crates. We got the cats in their crates as it started to rain. The TV then told us of tornados spotted in my area. Justin said we don't have time to get everyone and get out, we'll have to stay. I let the cats out of their crates. Then Justin changed his mind and said we have to try to get out and he called my dad to come over to help. We got the cats back in their crates, which was not easy as they were all so stressed out. I then went and loaded the birds into their crates and the chins, wyatt, and the bunny. It was not easy and my cockatoo was giving me such a hard time. I then ran into the bathroom and grabbed a few clothes out of the laundry basket (later realized that I only grabbed pajamas ). My dad and sister came and helped us transport them all to my work where they would be safe. By now it was 4:30 and I was one very stressed person. We got everyone in and settled. The only one who came with me was Buster, everyone else was at my work, except the reptiles which we had no choice but to leave at home. We got to Justins parents house at 5:30. It was raining pretty good and then at 7:30 Charley was here. Probably the worst part was I had to wait all night to go and see if all my babies were alright. The stress was unbearable.
It took me almost 2 weeks to get things "back to normal". There is still yard debris and garbage on the side of the roads and buildings that need to be repaired there is even still 1 traffic light in town that isn't working.
I am going to get things packed and animals moved early this time, wether it hits us or not. I will be prepared.

I talked to Carl tonight and he said it is headed right for Melbourne. He should get out okay, Thank God! But he is packing up stuff and putting it in his walk-in closet in hopes that if windows break, etc, it will be more protected. He has also taken some things to leave at work because he feels that building is a little safer than his apartment. Here's hoping that a miracle happens and that somehow Frances doesn't come in land! Right now I can only say that I am glad our move is delayed. I really wouldn't want to think about evacuating and not knowing if we could find a place to stay that would let us keep the dogs with us. I think it would be terrible to have to go to a shelter and have to leave your dogs behind! I am just not sure I could or would do it!

[Kfamr]

Oh, you don't know HOW much I hate not having shelters that allow dogs. You'd think with so many people having animals these days that they'd allow them.

I do remember my mom telling me about a hotel that had purchased bags and bags of different pet food and had a bunch of crates set up in the lobby for people who had pets.

They need to have atleast a few shelters that allow animals. Or atleast a classrooms in schools that allow animals.

[lovemyshiba]

What if you did show up to one of the shelters with your dogs? Would they ask you to leave?
Would they tell you that you could come in, and to leave the dog outside?

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really wondering these things.

That is terrible that they don't allow pets in the shelters

[Kfamr]

I'm not sure as I've never even been to a shelter. There's absolutely no way I'd leave them though. They always say on the news that if you need to evacuate and go to a shelter, to let your pets free.


I'd rather be with them than worry about what's happening to them.

Let them free?????

I guess we should be thankful for the advance warnings they are able to give.

Carl said they were announcing on the news that if you took your pets to a shelter that does not allow pets that the pets would have to stay in your car. You can imagine how that would be with the heat etc. There are a few shelters that allow pets but Carl says that they are already full. My sister has a friend whose home was destroyed in Hurricane Charley. They left their dog in the house adn he did "blow" away but they did find him. They are living in a camper in their driveway as everything is gone but their cars and swimming pool. I am not sure where they were - it sounded like they went to a shelter and were not there when the hurricane hit.

Here is the projected path as of 8 am this morning
