Hurricane Dennis

[Daisy and Delilah]

Kari, I'm just seeing this. I'm in Debary-30 miles from the east coast by Daytona Beach. The weather here has taken a turn for the worse. Thunderstorms all afternoon. Also, some gusty winds and heavy rain. Delilah is again, terrified. If we're having these conditions all the way over to the east coast, I can imagine what some of you are seeing over there on the west coast. Everybody hang in there and I pray that everyone is safe and sound. Keep us posted on weather conditions. After last year, we get scared if there's a storm coming close to anywhere in the state. I think we'll all be gun shy forever. I'm not ready to go through this again and I know I'm surely not alone. No word from my brother in Tampa yet-I hope he's ok. I'll call him shortly.

yeah that is when we are suppose to feel it. Sunday night/ Monday.

I'm so nervous.

[Karen]

Stay safe, everyone. Kay, you applying to colleges in the far north yet?

[Kfamr]

It's pouring and thundering here. I wish it wouldn't do this at night. I'd much rather it be during the day where I could "see" what's going on.

It's raining here pretty good. Lightning real bad too. We must be getting those first rain bands as they are coming and going. I believe our coast Kay is in a Hurricane warning. I hope this stuff will let me get home safely later this morning as I have an hour ride home.

Watching the weather channel and wind gusts at MacDill are about 30 mph.

Gemini, I think you and I get off at the same time in the morning? I get off at 7. Be careful going home. It's not too bad here, yet. Just a few sprinkles. I figure we'll get it late tomorrow. Good sleeping weather. Wish I could be doing some of that right now.

[gemini9961]

Val, yep I get off at 7am. It has stopped raining here for now, but I know that it won't last long. I am supposed to be back at work tonight at 7pm, but we'll see how this weather goes. If it's real bad I really don't feel comfortable driving all the way into Tampa from my house in all that mess. Like I said I live an hour north of Tampa and I'd like the spare myself the drive if it's horrible conditions. I'll be super careful driving home this AM.

Amber, I'm lucky enough to be off this weekend and Monday. Maybe you can stay home tonight.

Ha!!! My company seems to think it's no big deal. I'll have to play it by ear and see what the weather looks like closer to me having to come to work. No management is here on the weekend so of course they don't care what happens. They need to care because we just can't close up and walk out. We have to make sure all of the tissue is out and taken to a local hospital so it doesn't get wasted. We are a 24/7 operation so closing up is not an option they like to do.

Thinking of everyone in Florida and along the Gulf. I hope no one gets a direct hit.

Prayers going out for all that are in the path of the hurricane.
