Good Luck to Florida and good bye from me.

Libby, I hope all is well.


I called my mom this morning and she said that Frances is stationed in the gulf right now and they're getting the outter wall bands right niow. Scary thing is, he could strenghten and whatever's stalling it right now could push him right back over!

I talked to Libby a couple of hours ago. They lost one storage shed, their porch and a side of their house. Also, 3 cats and one chinchilla died. They had to evacuate so she turned the cats loose because she didn't want them trapped in the house if it got blown away. Her oak tree in her front yard has no leaves. She said the winds got up to 132mph. One of her neighbor friends lost a roof. They've been helping with that. Let's pray Ivan doesn't even get to Florida because there are lots of people with damage from the other hurricanes and don't need any more trouble than they've got now.

Oh no! That's awful, I'm glad it wasn't worse though. Prayers still coming for everyone in FL. Hugs!

Libby, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I'm keeping you and the pets in my prayers. (((HUGS)))

OMG, that is terrible. How sad for the kitties and chinchilla. I'm sure Libby is very upset. I'm so sorry.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks for the update DDM. I was thinking of Libby all weekend and hoping and praying for the best. Sounds like they got hit pretty hard, but at least they are ok and the house is still standing....for the most part.

I have been watching it all happen on the news, and worrying about all our PT people from Florida, its so darn scarey, I hope Fox-gal you are all right and can get back online to tell us so soon, and Dear Libby I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your furbabies, my heart goes out to you and everyone going through this awful ordeal.

Stay safe, Fox Gal! I will be thinking about you!

[petslover]

i hate to hear about your pets and home, but i'm glad to hear that shes okay. God Bless!!

[Fox-Gal]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and thoughts.

It's been really hard the last few days on us but in the long run we are better off then a lot of others in Florida. It might take us a long time to get things taken care of here, but at least we still have a roof and walls. (sort of)

My Father lives in Port St. Lucie and his house got hit also. He staying in St. Pete area for now. My friend lost part of her roof and still has no power or water. Then we also have 3 people and a dog staying here with us till their power and water come back on, around the 19th. It's just been a mess around here!!

And now Ivan coming!!!!!!!!! Our home can't take another hit, we've had 2 already, one more will wipe us out. I can't take much more of this.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to those that thought of me and the gang durring all this and let you know we are ok.

[dukedogsmom]

Libby, if it ever gets back to normal around here, maybe I can come see your place. If you need any help from me, just say it and I can come down and help you. Oh, you need to contact FEMA asap! I just learned that the reason they're there is to help people just like yourself. If you dont' have the number, I can get it for you.

Fox-Gal- I don't think Okechobee will make it through the next on either! And I'm very sorry about your ChinChilla and your other pets.. I don't really always pay attention to what people's siggys are.. I just happened to catch yours and saw the Brock one... Any pets that are now over the RB don't have to go through these Horrible Hurricanes, Tornados, Twisters, and all those other storms!

[Fox-Gal]

Thanks Val,
Hopefully if Ivan doesn't hit my way you can make it over here. Also thanks for the offer to help us, but we are just going to take it one day at a time and do what we can. Hey if we ever get the wall fixed......are you a good house painter? LOL Just kidding!

Mil0Luv3r, I think you are right Okechobee is going to have a hard time taking another hit. Homes around here where not made to take hurricanes, we have always thought that the middle of the state was safe, unlike those that live on the coasts.

I pray that my other pets will make it through Ivan fine, so far I have lost 6 between the 2 hurricans, 4 cats, 2 rabbits and Chichi, my Chin. Don't really know why ChiChi didn't make it, we are guessing that it was the pressure from the hurricane or else the heat from having no air. Chin need it cool and don't take heat well.

I am amazed at how well the outside aniamls take the hurricanes, all the chickens, Goats, Ducks etc seem to always come out of it perfect. Their big worry seem to be when it over, how soon they will get feed. lol

[Mil0Luv3r]

My GrandMother and my Friend live in Okechobee.. And if Okechobee makes it through Ivan then they won't make it through the next one that forming! And Fox-Gal what county/town do you live in? I'm staying at our office and were not in the path of this one they are saying. Our office is in Riviera and mostly Lake Park. Our house probaly will not make it!


GRRR!! Hurricane Season STINKS!!!!!

Keeping all of your Floridians in my thoughts. *hugs*

Sorry about the loss of your pets and the damage to your home Libby. I hope Ivan moves away from FL.
