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
