Hoping the same thing:

And by the looks of it will be on top of me in about 3 days.

Me and Kfmar *Kay* Live close to each other. And it missed us

Thanks for the concern!

Thanks for checking in AnimalHouse26. I have been thinking of you Floridians all day.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 08-19-2008, 09:05 PM

Thanks everybody. We won't get it as bad as we thought. However, most of my family live north of me where the storm will come back in as a hurricane.

We expect the worst of it very shortly here in my area. All day, it's been dark, breezy and rainy. Fortunately, it hasn't been too bad so far. We've had so much rain and storms already this year, the only thing different is the wind. Me, Daisy, and, Delilah will check beck in tomorrow if we have power.

Thanks all of you for checking in ... much of Florida is just so darned FLAT that that much rain is a worry, and Fay seems to be in no hurry to go anywhere, dagnabbit!

Well you know you do a Indian rain dance to make it rain.. Now What kind of dance do we do to make it stop??

Boy!! I'll say. When you come up with the solution, let me know.

It's been simply awful here. I just heard that the storm is slowing down again. I can't believe it. My yard is under water. I've never seen it this bad before. The power has been on and off all day. I lost my tv cable but got it back. The news reports are starting to come in about my town flooding. What a mess!!!

Best wishes to everybody. Joyce, I hope your Dad is ok and has power. I just talked to my Mom in Ormond Beach. She got her power back and seems to be fine. I am sorry to hear that a lady drowned on the beach over there today. The lifeguards had the red flags up to warn everybody. There was no one there on the scene to save her-a crew had to be called and it was too late. She was only 35.

I saw the report in our paper today about the lady drowning - at least one - maybe not the same one. She was from Indiana. I just don't understand why people think they have to try something when it is obviously not safe.

I got an e-mail from Delidog who lives in Port Luce. Some of you newcomers may not recognize the name but she used to post a lot when I first started posting. Anyway they are doing fine. They lost electricity for 24 hours but the house is holding up great. Much better than Frances and Jean - they lost power for 11 and 13 days with them.

Carl lived in Melbourne a few years ago - he took a transfer when his company closed here and he could move to Florida. I never moved down because he nor more than got there when they started talking outsourcing his job to Malasia which would mean another lay off and 18 months after he started that is what happened. He went through 2 tornadoes there and I don't think you could ever get him to move back to Florida then. I had flown down to visit him and the one came in - I couldn't get on my flight back home because they closed the airport. It was very scary and even scarier to see the after pictures of places we had been the day before. He ended up driving me back to Ohio so we "beat" the storm out.

I hope and pray that all of you down there do not get too much damage - I can't image how awful it must be to get so much rain at once. And know the storm may turn and come back at you.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 08-22-2008, 10:06 AM

It's still raining here. I think the storm is finally moving away from me but I'm right in the middle of it now for three days. My yard is flooded but thank goodness, we're dry inside so far. Please send out some PT prayers for all of us down here. We really appreciate it.

Floridians; Please check in so we know everyone is ok.
